Day 165 – Week 24 – 24 mins
Now today was a great example of how you can combine exercise with a far more indulgent lifestyle.
This morning our cleaning lady was coming – and because our flat is so small (I know, you’re thinking, if her flat is so small, how come she needs a cleaning lady? – but hey, I said this was about being indulgent!) we need to make ourselves scarce, so she can get on and do her thing.
So – off we trotted to the high street for an early morning cuppa, armed with laptops to keep ourselves busy for a couple of hours. And in a fit of foresight I decided to wear my jogging gear for the outing, so that after sitting around with the morning coffee set, I could leave the laptop with the boyfriend and jog myself home afterwards. It was a perfect arrangement. I got my exercise out of the way, and I came home to a gleaming flat. What can be better than that?

Day 164 – Week 24 – 24 mins
I actually enjoyed my workout this morning. I have decided to relieve my boredom by using the exercise time, as a time to rediscover all the music on my ipod I haven’t listened to properly.
So – this morning as I strengthened and stretched – I listened to Laura Marling nice and loudly, and tried to really concentrate on what I was doing instead of rushing through it.
And that seemed to do the trick….let’s see if it works as I do cardio tomorrow. I might need something a little more jazzy…

Day 163 – Week 24 – 24 mins
Today I decided to take the opportunity of a lunch break at work to go for my run today – and I was glad I did. It’s always great to get out of the office, and the nice cool weather made it a lot easier than on previous runs.
And do I feel at all embarrassed as I run past little enclaves of smokers standing around outside just where I need to run? Not at all – I feel virtuous and holy as I embrace my inner healthiness and hide my laboured breath!!
Run Lola Run….

Day 162 – Week 24 – 24 mins
I had the day at home today, so pottered around quite a bit before getting on with strength and stretching. But there is one great advantage to doing it later in the day, rather than first thing in the morning – you can have the music up nice and loud and enjoy it.
The trouble is – I am starting to get pretty bored by it all – so it is taking a bit of work to keep my enthusiasm up. I guess I’m going to have to try and start thinking of different things to do to give myself a bit of variety.
But of course with winter coming up – that’s really going to limit my options.
I’d be grateful for any ideas anyone has!!

Day 161 – Week 24 – 24 mins
Back on my beloved bosu. Seriously – I don’t think anything else is capable of giving you a better workout – well anything that allows you to operate in a circumference of about a metre that is. I have missed it.
I have just taken my fella out for his birthday dinner – lots of lovely wine and lemon tart – so it’s a good thing I managed to get a full workout in today.
