Day 230 – Week 33 – 33 mins
33 minutes in the can today, to finish off the week in fine form.
I am starting something new, and on Sundays adding up the total number of minutes for the week, in the hope that I will see at least some kind of increase from week to week.
And by my reckoning it’s 145 minutes this week, averaging out at 20.71 minutes a day.
That’s not too bad. I’m pretty proud of that….

Day 228 – Week 33 – 33 mins
Up nice and early to get my stretching and strengthening done before 7.30am when my fella was due back from an eight day work trip on the other side of the world!
Last thing I wanted was for him to arrive and me to say ‘Hi honey – glad to see you home – I’m just off to put my trainers on – you make yourself comfortable with a cup of tea!’
Nope – exercise was all done – I was showered and back in bed with said cup of tea by the time he walked in the door.
And the best thing is – now that he’s home - he’s found the BBC again!
Thank goodness for that….

Day 216 – Week 31 – 31 mins
I am quite proud of myself this weekend.
Between my day 215 exercise session and today’s exercise session, I have taken part in no less than four social events. This is unheard of for me, who generally spends my weekends at home pottering about on the computer.
I have:
1) met some friends from Australia for a drink in a pub on their lightning quick visit to London
2) Gone on from there to a dinner party on the other side of London (then stayed the night)
3) Visited some friends for coffee in the morning
4) Attended the premiere of a short film in the afternoon
And THEN I managed to come home and do some exercise, which of course was needed after the higher than usual alcohol content and a couple of pieces of Christmas cake at the premiere.
So that’s me now exhausted and ready for bed! Got to get my energy back before moving on to 32 mins tomorrow,

Day 209 – Week 30 – 30 mins
It was looking pretty wintery when I went out for my jog this morning, and there was a bit of slipping and sliding going on, as I made my way through the mud which forms some of the more well-used paths in my park. Much more of that ahead I suspect!
But all went well – my legs are starting to feel pretty strong – and that was another 300ish calories burned for the week. It’s so fortunate I can make up any loss of calories with substantial red wine intake over the following hours. Can’t be leaving myself short….

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…
