Day 260 – Week 38 – 38 mins
I appear to be very fickle when it comes to exercise.
For a while I much preferred the cardio to the strength work – so was managing my full amount of minutes when I got to run about, but couldn’t bring myself to do so when it came to a strength day.
But now, it is the opposite.
Today I was quite happy to do my full quota of strength and stretching, but am dreading getting out and going for a run tomorrow. It’s probably something to do with the rubbish weather, but still, I am surprised at this strange turn of events.
Let’s hope the rain stops and I DO get a chance to run around the park for New Year’s Eve…

Day 259 – Week 38 – 38 mins (1)
I wasn’t feeling well today – and no, before you ask, it wasn’t a hangover!
But it was enough to keep me from doing the jigging about I would have liked to have done. So, I just did the one minute and cut my losses.
A new day tomorrow,

Day 258 – Week 38 – 38 mins
Yep. That’s a full 38 minutes of strengthening and stretching today, new headphones on, listening to webinars. I LOVE being able to combine my exercise with other pursuits.
I realised it’s been a good while since I’ve done the full quota of this, and so I was pretty surprised that I felt quite a bit stronger than last time I did some of these exercises – like the dreaded Plank. I certainly wouldn’t say it was easy, but it wasn’t quite the struggle it normally is.
Maybe the little rest did me some good.

Day 257 – Week 37 – 37 mins (25)
Doing the usual Christmas thing, we travelled a couple of hours away from home yesterday to spend the day and night with family, just getting back home around 7.30 tonight.
And despite many hours of eating, drinking and keeping children entertained I managed to get myself on the bosu for a 25 minute session – again, with the help of the magnificent headphones.
Total for the week is 116 minutes (16.57 mins a day). It’s the worst for some time, but I figure it’s a turning point. Christmas week was inevitably going to be the toughest – and the guilt of overindulgence alone should be enough to make an improvement next week.

Day 256 – Week 37 – 37 mins (25)
Ok – getting back into the groove after the Christmas thing.
And so much more enthusiastic with my new Christmas present – a pair of wireless headphones!
Now you know, I’m the kind of person who feels I should be doing something ‘useful’ at the same time as exercising, so what I usually do if I’m jigging about in the living room, is try and listen to/watch some kind of webinar on my laptop as I do it. And as I don’t have particularly good speakers on my laptop, I need to wear headphones.
As you can imagine – this gets a bit tricky when you are wearing headphones that are plugged into the laptop, especially if you make any sudden moves!
But all my problems are solved with my new wireless headphones. I can jig about to my heart’s content, and even wander off into the bathroom afterwards, without missing a word of the webinar. Love it. A new piece of kit and I am full of enthusiasm! Not enough to do a full 37 minutes, but at least I go two thirds of the way…
