Day 172 – Week 25 – 25 mins
Today was a complete contrast to yesterday. After a sleep in this morning, all I had to think about what was what I needed to pack before my fella whisked me away for a surprise weekend away. So, it was actually relatively easy to get up and do my full 25 minutes of Stretching and Strengthening, listening to Cowboy Junkies.
Today was one of those days where I felt a sudden leap forward – but just in relation to my abs. Today, it wasn’t hard to do my one minute of crunches. Every other day it has been. I don’t know if it is a once off – but it is something to be celebrated. Abs have never been my forte.
I write this, sitting in a little old cottage in Suffolk, in front of an open fire, with a glass of wine by my side. A perfect weekend away. Tomorrow’s cardio will mean some kind of jog along country lanes….

Day 171 – Week 25 – 25 mins (5)
Have to say – today was the kind of day that in the days pre-onegoaloneminute, I would never have done any exercise. I had to be out of the house at 6.30 in the morning, I go home at 8.30pm, and I hardly had a minute to breath during the working day. I got home completely knackered with a raging headache, and after some Nurofen, dinner and a glass of wine – I collapsed in a a heap and fell asleep.
So – it was fortunate I managed to do my five minutes of jigging about at all, before going to work, and I’m immensely proud of it. What good does it do? Well – it keeps me on track. It doesn’t burn a lot of calories, it doesn’t lose me any weight, it doesn’t make me any stronger – but it stops me falling off the wagon. And that’s good enough.
