Day 191 – Week 28 – 28 mins (5)
I’m back on the very long days at work today – just for today and tomorrow. But as you know – that’s when I take the minimal exercise option.
Did five minutes on the bosu this morning – but was pretty enthusiastic about it, and was quite hot and puffy at the end of it, with just that small amount.

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 186 – Week 27 – 27 mins (10)
Yep – just managed the ten minutes today, doing my speedy strength and stretching routine, where I fly through it all at three times the speed.
I’m sure I don’t see any progress on the days I do this, but as long as I’m not going backwards, that’s fine with me.
There are always going to be days when you really cannot logistically fit in a full exercise routine. The most important thing is not to let that be an excuse to give up.
For me, the answer is to get myself into my exercise gear and do even just one minute of the routine I usually do. That is sending a message to my body that I still care, I’m still making the effort, I’m not going to abandon it completely to the ravages of red wine and chocolate. For this 24-hour period I care about you, my body, enough to spend a few minutes invested in moving you about.
That is why I do my mini-routines on the days where I just can’t manage a full one. In a couple of days time I will be able to return to the programme, and I won’t have slipped back.

Day 182 – Week 27 – 27 mins (5)
It was never going to happen today. I had to be out the house at 6.00am, and go out straight after work, getting home around 11.30pm.
So – just a brief five minutes of stretching/strengthening in the morning, after tumbling out of bed at 5.00am.
I went through a speeded up version of my usual routine – doing 10-15 seconds of the things I usually do for one minute. It was quite fun really – and I figure it reminds the muscles I’m there…

Day 181 – Week 26 – 26 mins
Oh – very virtuous this morning. Got out for a run at around half past eight, despite it being a Sunday morning. Then crawled back into bed with my cup of tea after a shower. What heaven that is.
It was a beautiful, fresh morning after some overnight rain – with just me and the dogwalkers in the park. Delightful.
Have now completed one week of my 30-day alcohol free spree. It hasn’t been too bad really – though we are flying through the Ribena – it does a very good job as a red wine substitute when you put it in the right glass.
Though I have work drinks tomorrow night. I’m not sure they serve Ribena at the pub….
