In that case, 'Move your lazy ar$e!'Thanks Pipp I need you to make me feel guilty if I don't do it . Xxx

Been to the tip already. Loft is empty. Been shopping. Intend to have a short walk, 10 mins max, then go to aquafit before dinner tonight. Tired, but working out while I can.Lol! I moved my lazy ar$e this morning. I tried running for the first time in over three weeks - it was more of a 'shuffle', but my knees held up and now I feel great! (Mind you I won't get ahead of myself as I only managed a few hundred yards before I began to creak, but it's a start right?!)
More sorting today @Pipp?
But yes, there will be a lot more sorting for several weeks yet. Incentive is that we do not have a break away from home until some of the major jobs are done. Ned new roof, rewire, bathroom refit, and full refurbishment of all rooms.
Short hol after each job is done.
Ouch! lots to do and lots of spending - we've done our roof but I think our rewiring will have to wait until we buy a winning lottery ticket!
If we can get the really messy stuff out of the way soon, by the time the weather improves, and the daylight lasts longer we can enjoy the great outdoors.
Hopefully this year!
So keeping motivated, and determined, no sloping off for a skive / break away until roof is done.
Well I've been on the bike everyday. It does seem to have been easier the last 2 days, although I have noticed that my stomach aches a bit afterwards. Maybe this means I'm toning my stomach? I'm still not managing long on there but building it up slowly.
Not very well today. Dragged myself out for short walk to collect prescription, visit to son's dog (bless that little dog, for needing me today as I wouldn't have gone out in the cold for just anyone). That only took me a total of 28 mins with a few sit downs inbetween walks, so I still have to push myself to do a bit more. Not going to beat myself up about it, as the cold weather really affects me, and it is bitterly cold today. Will do some strength exercises instead to make up the time. Pilates moves lying down suits me today.
Not all activity / exercise needs to be cardio workout.
That's my excuse and I am sticking with it. Anyone want to argue?
Did a 60 minute walk this morning while the sun was out and before the forecast storms arrive later. Went on one of the 'alternative' walks across the river this time.

Lol!, nobody could accuse you of not being motivated @Pipp! I think you've got more get up and go than all of us put together!
I was pleased today I managed another run - this time I managed about a mile. (I say a run, really more of a shuffle combined with the odd hoppety walk!)
Stunning @sanguine! The colours pop and I think it must be because the quality of the light is so good. Crisp, clear and bright!
