Day 211 – Week 31 – 31 mins (5)
Ohhhh! Was really rubbish this morning.
I should have gone for a 31 minute run nice and early, but just couldn’t get myself out of bed. This of course meant I only had five minute to jump on the bosu before heading off to work.
Not good at all!!!
Have given myself a good talking to (and a bit of a whipping!) and promise to do better tomorrow.

Day 210 – Week 31 – 31 mins
I did my full 31 minutes this morning – but boy it was tough. From the very first lift of the medicine ball above my head, it was hard work. It was if my muscles were united in opposition to the cause! It was as if I was asking my body to do something it had never done before.
But – I persevered – in a somewhat lacklustre way and got the job done. Not sure how much good it did me, but can only hope things will get better. This happens every now and again, I just go all weak and delicate.
Can’t explain it….

Day 208 – Week 30 – 30 mins (22)
Oh I started out with the best of intentions to do my full 30 minutes of stretching and strengthening today. But at 22 mins I just suddenly decided I was too hot and sweaty and I had a brain and body shutdown.
That was it. I just decided I had had enough. Lucky I got through the 22 minutes really.
I’ve noticed this tends to happen when I have had a short workout the day before. And given that I only did one minute the day before – well – you can’t get much shorter than that.
It’s as if having had a short workout the day before, I have to kind of ‘build up’ again back to the level I should be at. My brain just won’t accept leaping up to 30 minutes straight away, it has to do it in a couple of stages. It is saying to me, “Don’t worry, I know what you are playing at, you’re trying to get me to do that exercise business again. Oh well, I’ll do it, but I’m doing it on MY terms. I’m just going to take my time and mosey on in there.”
I guess that’s not really a problem, as long as I get there!
So – perhaps that’s a pattern. I go along merrily as I should. Then I have to have a short day for some reason (usually because of a very early start at work), and then it takes a couple of big steps to get back to where I should be.
I’m not too worries by any of that, given the whole idea of this is just to keep going, and not stop completely for any length of time….if that’s how it has to be, then so be it! Don’t you worry brain…I’ve got you sussed…

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 196 – Week 29 – 29 mins
Phew – managed a full quota of stretching and strengthening today. It’s good to know I still have the capacity to do it.
And we’re set for some glorious autumn weather here for the next few days, so there’s no excuse to not get out and enjoy the sunshine for those jogs in the park.
Whatever you are up to – I hope you are managing to fit a few minutes of exercise into your day….
