Day 202 – Week 29 – 29 mins
This morning was one of those great mornings where I woke up nice and early, fully refreshed. You can see it happens so rarely that it is worth noting!
So, in the spirit of the moment, I got myself out of bed at around 7.30 (well – that is early for a Sunday!!) and did my strengthening for 29 mins, that back into bed with a cup of tea for me and my fella. Bliss. The whole day ahead of me without thinking about the fact I had to exercise.

Day 200 – Week 29 – 29 mins (5)
It was a bit of a non event for day 200 I am afraid. I had to be out of the house at 6.00am, so it was a cursory five minutes with the medicine ball and the resistance band, and that was it. I mean, we have to be realistic here. I am not going to be getting up at 4.30am just to prove I can do this!

Day 199 – Week 29 – 29 mins
Weirdly, these days, I seem to be looking forward to my cardio days rather than my strength days. I’m not sure what’s happened. Back in the day, I much preferred that at least on strength days I got to lie on the floor for some of the time, where as jogging meant getting all sweaty and puffy…
But today, the thought of going for a little jaunt through my park was something that actually gladdened my spirit. Perhaps it is just knowing that soon it is going to be too dark, wet and miserable to get outside, and for several months it’s going to be me, the floor and the bosu – and that’s it. I should enjoy the autumn leaves while I can.
Today – 29 minutes done and dusted…

Day 198 – Week 29 – 29 mins
You know what? The Plank is really hard. Even the mini-plank that I am doing just about kills me. I think it is my nemesis.
So – that is one more challenge I will try and achieve in this lengthy experiment – by the end of my 365 days I want to have defeated the Plank, along with being able to do the splits and touch my toes!
I am not actually very confident about the splits thing. Despite daily stretching, I am not making a great deal of progress. A little – but not enough to see me making the cheerleading team anytime soon.
Still….a girl can dream…

Day 197 – Week 29 – 29 mins
I left it very late to go for my run today – it was about four o’clock before I got out the door. And shock, horror! It felt like it was getting dark!!
With the clocks going back at the weekend, and my first day of being outside at that time, I had completely forgotten that it would start getting dark so early. The weather is so nice and warm I have been in denial that winter is almost here. It really means I am going to have to start making sure I get out earlier for those jogs.
I, of course, felt all healthy and virtuous after my run, but the trouble with doing it so late in the day, is that you get fewer hours of feeling healthy and virtuous before it’s the next day and you have to do it all again!
