Exercise roll call

30 minute walk around the   neighborhood..

been difficult being back from holiday so it's been a struggle to get back to clean eating and water intake, but exercise  is  coming together  sooner  than the rest...  today  1 hour of cardio/ floor exercises  combo.. 

Holidays over and the training begins ...signed up to the gym and assigned Jess to be my personal nagger ...nothing like a 5 year old to get you to go out "to play"

Did two hours of walking/hiking in our area botanical gardens, lots of uphill walking, ect. Looking into gym memberships right now to start.

Well I un-earthed the treadmill today. Does that count as exercise?

I've been given the "go fetch this , go fetch that you lowley student nurse" workout for the  past few weeks does that count.. I've been walking but I'm starting my swiming ..I need to be tone for that bloody sequin thingy I'm wearing in june..

Now that I am going to be in the public eye on a regular basis (singing lead for The Comfy Chairs Band), I am feeling more stressed about looking a certain way again.  I've had a bit of a reprieve from my prior obsession with weight and such because Jamie truly loves me and doesn't demand I look a certain way like I have had to deal with in precious relationships - I used to live on less than 600 calories and exercise 6 hours a day...yeah.  Pathetic...  anywho, I don't have time to exercise like a mad woman any more - and I need to keep my voice in shape more than anything else now that constant demand is being put on it (a good thing, a thing I've waited for for 30 years)...but, that still leaves me battling the bits of unsightly fat, that Jamie isn't bothered in the least about, and still wants me in spite of, but I wish weren't there!  I suppose I am keeping things from getting out of hand by all the walking I do to and from the bus stop (which isn't really close to the day job - it's about a 10 minute walk one way).  So, yeah...there you go...  brisk walk to and from the bus stop, then brisk walk from the bus stop to the flat... I'm counting that.

one hour workout using one of those celeb dvds I actually can see myself doing that one on a regular basis.

so far I've done the DVD every day and the rower every other day and I've managed to stick with it...although the music is now ingrained in my brain 

Not having a  family car has made for  A LOT of walking lately.. in this weather.. that can feel like more  of  a workout... 

Sign me up!

I've lost all the baby weight, but I do NOT like my thighs or middle.  Deffo need some toning up. 

I suffered a pretty severe abdominal muscle split during pregnancy/childbirth, so I can't go back full throttle, yet, but I'll be back to walking to and from work in April - a 5 mile trekk, so I need to get back in shape.

Today:  pushed the double buggy into the wind for half an hour w/o stopping. 

Am now shattered, but planning some lunges and brief spurts on the ball to get my core back.

I've decided my commute is not enough  so  easing back into  a system hopefully.. My Bum is going south lately and swimsuit season is closer than I'd like to  know..so today did 35 minutes of salsacise.. have to  dig up my old  exercise  tapes.. too cold  for a  brisk walk..

1/2 hour butt and thigh  exercises.. 

hula hoop for 20minutes and Jumping rope for 25 minutes just before lunch. Taking the dog out for his walk in the morning before my breakfast.
