EEK!! Can't argue with that. Just as well it's indoors, mittens, hat and scarf going on in a minute. I'm freezing.

No applause yet, I still haven't done any. My daughter has just brought me a steaming cup of tea, and I have promised I will go on after that. So, I will keep my promise. I have also done my +2 dinner reading and it's too high for my liking, so that there is incentive enough to get off my lazy behind.

 

[tree-peony]

and?

 

[Defren]

and?

I have done a whole 10 minutes. I mean it's not brilliant, but it's a start

 

[tree-peony]

Well I could throw a strop and say shurrup, but I won't. Instead I will say, flippin' well done, what an amazing effort and all that hard work will pay off. Really proud of you, and very pleased.

Now it's my turn to shift my lard (bum) and get going.

I've just been thwarted ... OH is chopping a tree down and he says it's too dangerous until he's finished

~ does a happy little skipping type dance~

Any excuse TP, any excuse

As far as I am concerned Carol, anything physical is exercise. I walked to our little corner store for a bottle of washing up liquid and some bin bags earlier, that's exercise :lol:

30 minutes done, only another 30 to go. I would love to break my hour a day record (not every day). Fingers crossed.

 

[tree-peony]

don't overdo it... you'll just set yourself back
(being serious for a sec!)

Even just 10 minutes more would give me a real ego boost. I have upped the speed on the treadmill a very small amount, with no adverse reaction. I so need to get fit! Brilliant GP news, so thrilled for you. (((TP))).

 

[tree-peony]

go boost that ego then!

 

[Defren]

go boost that ego then!

10 minutes more done. 20 minutes will make an hour and as it's only 5:30 I have plenty of time. I have only ever managed an hour. I really am going to try hard to add a little more, even if it is only 10 mins.

On our 40th wedding anniersary cruise last year, Itried Zumba and line dancing. I was worse than hopeless at both, but kept going. I also climbed stairs from deck 5 to deck 12 each time i went up or down. I kept bg DOWN and lost weight on a 2 week cruise.

Well done Hana, lost weight on hols, that has to be pretty unique. I would like to try zumba, I love the music, but think my wobbly bits will wobble just a little too much, and convinced my joints would never allow it. So I shall carry on walking, at least until I feel I could try something new. I am waiting for my cleaning lady to tell me when her referral to the gym is activated, as I plan to go with her. Once I stop wobbling as much (I sound like a weeble) I plan to swim each day.

 

[tree-peony]

don't fall down!

 

[Defren]

don't fall down!

50 minutes done, just had my dinner shake, so will let that go down a bit then do the last 10. Yippee, today is a good day.

I really don't look like a weeble any more, I actually have a waist. Gotta be a good thing.

I don't go to Zumba, but if I did, wobbly bits would be the biggest reason why :twisted:
