Crikey
Crikey, I just realised Wednesday was my last post. I have been so busy that I am unaware of time. I am also tired and exhausted and to catch up would bore you all I am sure. I will try and cover life quickly.
Thursday was my day off from exercise and I liked the idea but thought about it constantly. I listen to the radio at 8.10am every morning as that is the Fit & Fab time-slot and love hearing the interviews and progress. I ran errands mainly with Dayna so the day wasn’t that exciting. I did however have to take her to the Dr. as she has another ear infection. She wasn’t well so didn’t even go to Kindy.
Friday I dropped the kids off at their place of play and headed to the gym. I had a one on one session with the Personal Trainer (Andrew). It was great he showed me the weight machines again and personalised the weights for me. We then hit the treadmill and put me on interval training where every 3minutes I change the speed up and then down and then up even more etc. I pushed myself and got to 2km and got my 2nd wind so got to 2.35 and went I won’t get to 3km as had hit the wall and was pushing really hard to get through/over it, I did manage 2.5kms yipee yi yay. I was so pleased I nearly hugged Andrew. He then took me to do the warm down stretches and some Ab exercises. I was so pleased with the session.
I picked Isaiah and Connor up from Kindy and came home before picking Dayna up and meeting Connor’s Dad at the school to drop Connor off. As soon as we were there the hail came. Boy was it thick it was a true hail storm. It was loud and lasted 20+ minutes. I had to carry the kids to the car in the storm. We picked up Martin and got the groceries.
I went out to a Kindy thank you evening and they had all sorts of beverages and canapes but I stuck to water. There was then a comedy show for us which was great I enjoyed it and learnt a thing or three. They then put on dessert. Chocolate and luckily fresh fruit. I had some watermelon and strawberries. yum.
Saturday I was at the gym at 10am for a weigh in. I lost 200g weight but get this put on .3% fat. Crazy. Anyway we were there as a team and all did a workout before leaving to go our separate ways. I have to tell you I got to 2.8kms today, but boy did I work for it. I get a ride in the weekends so got dropped at Mitre 10 Mega.
We bought our first lawnmower. We had a push mower then were given a 2nd hand one but it has been dying for some time, so it was time. It is lovely we even got a photo. So of course we mowed the lawns yesterday and they look good. Also did a spot of gardening and weed trimming, so all is good outside.
We finished wrapping the last of the Christmas presents and the Chchones are in a box ready to go. Plans have been made for some kind of Christmas gathering with Martin’s family on the Eve. So another step closer. BTW I have not started my cards as I would have usually done andwill have to find time to squeeze them in.
Before we knew it it was 11 something pm. We like many others watched the elections. All I will say is my favourite colour is Blue. lol. I knew Helen would step down as it would be hard running a country for 9years and then go to being a leader of the opposition.
Sunday – I woke at 6am for some reason and decided I better get on to doing the final marking for the year. I only just got the workbooks back to do this. It took 3hours to finalise 3 classes and they are officially in the post. So a huge relief.
I was at the gym again at 10am and worked out with my team. After we all did the weight machines we headed for the cardio machines. I started running on the treadmill. There is a muscle in my leg that was burning from quite early on. I was tempted to stop but seeing my team there I just couldn’t. I got to 2.5km as didn’t want to do damage. After that Jo and I got on the bikes and then stretched and headed home. And this is where I am now.
The website for the competition I will post for you to see but there is an admin error so once that is sorted I will give you the address.
Dayna and Martin are at a birthday day for a kindy friend and Isaiah at Connor’s as he wasn’t invited. I will go and join some of the family and hopefully have a nice quiet family afternoon.
I will be back at the gym at 5.30am tomorrow and Tuesday, so will aim for an early night.
