OK, I'm just checking in. Haven't exactly done a lot of exercise since Jamrox went away 'cos my head's been all over the place. Did a 5 min walk today but that's all.....at least I'm owning up to being a lazy cow so that has to count for something???? No? OK I'll try harder tomoz.

Hi Zand!
I've been distracted with work, so I've not been as energetic as I should have been.:( Hope you've finally found where you left your head.;)
Don't worry, I'll keep you company in detention when Jamrox tells us off!:p

I would be happy to tell you off in Jamrox's absence. Well I would if I had been good. After completing the daily 40 mins in pathetic small chunks most of last week I have excelled this week. Back in the pool again today, 15 mins swim followed by 60 mins intense aquafit class.
Don't know why I was reluctant because it feels so good. Must not allow anything to put me off, so back in water tomorrow. Have a lot of holiday damage to put right.
 
Well I don't need telling off today. I am a reformed character. Walked for almost an hour, but not that quickly 'cos my chest muscles still hurt when I walk up slopes too quickly (I'm sure it's got absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I am daft enough to attempt to do a challenging exercise on another thread);)

Morning Zand! Going to work now. Obs today! Not much sleep as our 9 year old had a nightmare in the middle if the night and crawled in with us for a cuddle for a bit! When she was little, there was a dancing toothbrush on Cbbies which has given her nightmares off and on since she was 4! I'm sure my family have a conspiracy thing going and like to keep me awake the night before! Lol! Been doing lots of walks recently but only losing 1lb or plateauing! :(

...you always get back into it zand and keep on going...:)

....our team manager has organised a sort of treasure hunt around town this morning [you wouldn't believe the health and safety rules that have to be applied as we're out of the office during work time!] for us all instead of the usual weekly meeting as its quiet at the moment, so I think I'll be doing well over the 40 minutes' exercise today....

Well, I wish I could get up as early as you and put in the exercise early in the day. I didn't know there were two 6 O'clocks in a day.

They do it so that you have more adrenaline pumping, which will make you perform better. So hope your day goes well, and the weight loss and B G too.
 
Second day in Venice so walking around the Lido island ..its lovely.
Sounds like you are all telling each other off so no need for me to lol.
I ve tried to walk up the stairs on the ship instead of using the lift ...are you impressed lol.
Oh another week of holiday how will I cope lol.

Another 60 min aquafit workout. Still have a supermarket trolley walk to do and a shopping trip with daughter to give my bank card a workout. Good thing that there are plenty of seats so it will be a bust of activity, then a rest, then more activity. A bit of fartlek in with the shopping.
