Now I just look like I've been tangoed! Complete with streaks! Good job I don't take myself too seriously! Need new cozzie. Had intended holding off till near centre parks trip as had hoped to have lost weight but still static.Now where's that maxi dress?!
Oh ... Lotion!!! I thought you were going to eat it ...Am now standing like a starfish waiting for lotion to dry.]
I think so. Parents can discuss with school or there's always the GP route. The statementinf system is having a shake up at the moment. I'm not up to date nowadays but I do know that children won't be getting statements like they used to.Contact your lea and ask for him to be assessed. There are time scales with the lea rather than the school. It is vital because he could be allowed more time in his Gcses. Parents are allowed to start the assessment process. @peacetrain have I got this right?
I've only done a 20 min walk and 2 x 5 min ones today
Took me ages to find cozzie which fitted. Wanted swimsuit and tanktini. Don't think centre parks is ready for me in a bikini! Am at that stage where a millet tent hides the bad bits but in underwear or a bikini?! Small children would be crying, people would be frightened! Lol! Asda had bottoms but no tops except for a bright purple leopard skin bikini (chavtastic and would have clashed with my you've been tangoed (badly) tan) or a black and gold thread one (I'm 43 and built for comfort not speed!) or a blue one with tassels and fringing. I am not joking! Fared better at sainsburys although took ages to find right combo! Still managed 2hours walking - yay!...oh dear Scandi, I know its not funny really but its the way you write about it!! It sounds more like Summer Nightmare than Summer Glow, will have to stick with pale legs....
...at least the your weight's static at the moment, soo annoying though when you expect to lose some and you don't....I am quite convinced my scales are a stone out.....at least....
Well yes I did make up the time today......but Dillinger's thread suits me better.....2 minutes exercise for only 5 days a week...perfect. I am trying really hard with this 40 minutes, honestly....I would just prefer to do 4 hours 40 min one day a week and then rest for the other 6 days. But I guess that's not really the point is it? I get points for trying to conform, yeh?
Yes I'll do it tomorrow, I'll get up early tomorrow. Today I overslept till 6.45, it was way too late to start exercising then.
thanks for this. I'll try again when the weather is cooler, I really am hopeless when it's hot.Zand, if you can raise your heart rate significantly for 3mins or so and be able to manage down the blood glucose rise afterwards (you may actually have to do 15mins or so of walking afterwards to do this) then you're on to a winner. Just be careful you don't do yourself an injury over those 3mins when you're burppeeing (that can't be a word can it?!) Planking will be great for core strength, but I don't think it will give you a significant rise in heart rate. Just add in a little bit more and you have the recipe for success.
Think I have experienced both feeling inadequate, (when I read of the stuff some of you do which I will never be able to do again), perhaps now concern that my posts are causing others to feel that way. Confess to feeling envy of long walks and cycling, but as @Scandichic said 'horses for courses' no good wasting my time hankering over what cannot be. I have wonderful memories of fell walking and cycling and running, but it is time to make new memories. So looking for different activities to try.
If I sometimes sound as if I am showing off I am sorry. I am pleased with myself for getting more active, but don't want to do it at the expense of making anyone else feel as if they are slacking. I am also pleased with all of you, because reporting on here is spurring me on. As yet I haven't had a period of down time on the exercise. It will come, but I am confident that you will all understand, because this is one of the most supportive threads I have seen.
Morning Zand! Did my walk too! Dare I say this but I think I'm addicted to walking and come back relaxed and full of beans. Hubbie had just finished cooking the brekkie. Have reduced my sausage intake to 1 with scrambled egg to reduce the amount of red meat. I wanted to bring my LDL cholestrol down without statins (currently 6) - HDL cholestrol 1.3 and triglycerides 0.6. Weight still sameDid my 45 min walk this morning
Ow! Hope you picked the brambles first! Walked girls into town the other day and the girls feasted on brambles all the way in! Needless to say I didn't! Am loving this warm weather as we are outdoors all the time! Bs doesn't love it though despite all the exercise!Sorry I've not been here for a bit,
We're getting pretty manic with work and counting down to the TeamBG mHealth Grand Tour at the end of August (a cycle ride of a mere 2,300km over 15days!) Before you ask, no of course I'm not doing it but hubby is. (Must be mad!)
Lots of worky work sat glued to a desk going blind at the computer and not too much activity other than my two 20min walks with the dogs a day. Busy weekend in the garden - three hours hedge cutting (a beech hedge in competition with the Great Wall of China) along with an hour of strimming brambles. (Note to self, must not strim brambles in open toed sandals)
A bit of swimming thrown in and a couple of runs, otherwise (although it sounds like quite a lot) I feel like I've been a bit sedentary
Never mind - one month of mania to go. @zand I might have to try your tactic of doing a few minutes of intense planking and burping (sorry burppeeing) to get some activity in over the next few weeks.
Keep up the great work everyone!
We are doing at least one excursion every day involving at least 30 mins walk in each direction! There are 2 pools within 30-45 mins walk away. There are some horrible kids around aren't there? We were at the paddling pool in town when some kids started splashing another kid. I hadn't been paying attention so I just thought they were all together. Then another kid came and told the others to stop splashing his brother. Not rude. Very polite. The other kids started to splash him instead. He asked them (again, politely) to stop.This kid who was probably 10 responded with "suck my d*ck you a**hole!" At which point the lady next to me shot up and told said hooligan off. The other kids started to be rude to her, so I went and stood beside her. They all stopped apart from a delightful 9 year old girl who called us "tw*ts". (Gosh, her parents must be so proud!). The lady then approached the parents of the boy with the foul mouth and who were close by who must have heard their child screaming obscenities. The kid was screaming "she's f*cking lying! I didn't say that! F*ck off out of my life! " this last piece of abuse was addressed to the poor lady who had dared to object to his shocking behaviour towards her sons. The woman responded with "well, he says he didn't". At which point I just had to say something so I walked over and said that I had also heard her son swearing and repeated what I'd hear. Her response. I'll deal with it. But he needs to calm down first. To be fair, he has got a disability! " I was so tempted to point out that his "disability" was his parents! Absolutely shocking! It was overwhelmingly obvious that there were no boundaries whatsoever in place, that nobody had ever said no to this young man and that he was allowed to rule the roost. The delightful 9 year old sat in the paddling pool sticking her middle finger up at us and calling us pedos. Repeatedly. Am I the only one whose children would not dream of behaving like this?Morning Scandi....morning walking is so good isn't it?!!!! You are very brave looking after an extra one - I rarely did that!
