Day 217 – Week 32 – 32 mins (27)
I managed a slightly better effort on the bosu this morning than last time, though am not quite up to my full quota yet. I really need to investigate what other exercises I can do on there – as I get a bit bored with the few I have come up with.
Really I just try to get my heart rate up to the required level, and just jig about once I’m there…trying to keep myself interested….
Tomorrow looks like it may be the only day of the week with clear skies, so I may try and get out for a run, even though it is supposed to be a strength and stretch day.

Day 207 – Week 30 – 30 mins (1)
OK – had to go for the bare minimum this morning I’m afraid – just the one minute.
It was through no lack of will on my part, just a complete lack of time. It was the last day of a big project at work, and I knew I had to get in there as early as humanly possible otherwise I’d still be stuck there at midnight.
But never let it be said that I haven’t done my 1 minute. It was a fast and furious jumping about on the bosu, then into the shower and off to work.
You know how it is – when a girl’s gotta work, she’s gotta work. I tried to make up for it by walking up the escalators in the underground. Not quite the same I guess….

Day 187 – Week 27 – 27 mins (2)
Just a quick two minutes today on the bosu. It’s far too early in the morning to be doing anything more than that….

Day 177 – Week 26 – 26 mins
You do feel a bit silly, dragging out the bosu at half past five in the morning.
It’s almost as if you are doing something naughty – I have no idea why. I guess it’s the sneaking around, trying not to wake the other half up. But I did stand there, all dressed up in my exercise gear, thinking that people would think I was mad.
But it’s not that crazy is it? Surely – thousands of people across the world are joining me in such healthy and uplifting activity, in the deep dark of the early morning….
And 26 minutes later…I felt damn good about it. If not a little sweaty….

Day 175 – Week 26 – 26 mins
I was at home today – and it was a grey old day. I kept putting off my workout in the hope that it would stop raining and I could actually go for a run outside. I know that I am going to jigging about indoors for most of the next six months, so I am trying to get outside whenever I can. But no such luck – that rain was here to stay. So out came the old bosu – I suspect I’ll be seeing a lot more of that in the weeks ahead.
And while I know I said the whole idea of this experiment was to make it about the exercise and not the diet – I feel as if I have been overindulging a little too much in the alcohol department in recent months, and it really is time to give my liver a little bit of a rest. So – and I hate to actually have to say it, because then I am committed – but I am going on a 30 day alcohol free spree. Starting yesterday.
Now this isn’t easy – we have just ordered in two cases of lovely red wine, and I am going to have to politely decline when the open bottle is put on the table in front of me – but (she says through gritted teeth) – it is good for me. And a bit of self-discipline never hurt anyway….
Now where’s that Ribena? Can you put it in a wine glass for me…
