Day 16

A big thank you for all of you who congratulated me on my 450 skips...BUT it was a fluke! I havent got back that form at all. Had a cracking headache all day and kids got me up at 5.30am so completely knackered. Doing the exercises was definitely more of a mental thing today but I did do it. Boring blog day, sorry.

Day 15

So yesterday I managed 450 skips all in one go before I tripped. Get me!! Today, I tripped at 51, 85, etc etc and it took me twice as long. I did however do the exercises in the right order without a coffee break in between each one :)
Food much the same as last week for me, I shall definitely be growing feathers or gills before long. What I really want is a nice fat greasy bacon sarnie dripping with butter and loaded with ketchup and a sugary latte. mmmmmmmmm. What was that Pete?? Glass of water and some fruit...oh okay then....

Day 14

Just as well we dont have a canary or Pete would have killed it last night...the fruit & veggies have a LOT to answer for....

Day 13

No internet for 2 days!!!!!! Sadly we had already downloaded the exercises so no excuses for getting out of them. Was SO relieved to see only skipping tomorrow. Dont know if its the weather or PCP but we have been knackered the last few days. I could do with a snooze on the sofa after my mammoth lunch but sadly kids activities are putting paid to that. Am really starting to go off chicken, must go and buy steaks for dinner. Mini ones of course :(  Am surprised at how much flatter my stomach is already when I seem to be eating copious amounts of food. Here's hoping Patrick doesn't halve the portions for next week as we all seem to be moaning about the amounts of food!

Day 11

Another boring blog. Exercises done for the day. Got myself a skipping rope with a counter - what a relief not to tax my brain with the counting. Now I can mindlessly watch crap tv while doing my exercises.  Even though I have weighed out the cooked chicken, washed and chopped the salad and put it all in tupperware, Pete still asked me to do his lunch???!!! Am feeling a bit short tempered. The kids are climbing the walls and I'm about to explode. This will not be helped at the supermarket as my local one is shitetastic. You may see me on the front page of the South China - Crazed woman goes mad in veg department...

Day 10

Nothing exciting to write but todays exercises done and out of the way. Calves and shoulders were tight from yesterday but thankfully todays exercises didnt seem as bad as yesterdays. Apart from the chin up bar...pathetic. Managed 200 skips in a row without tripping and could have done more if I could actually breathe so had to have a break. The next 450 were not as fluent. Think my legs had had enough by then. Tried pureed roasted veg on toast for breakfast - it was actually tasty and thats from a cinnamon bun kinda gal! Date night tonight - usually involves copious amounts of food and alcohol. Tonight is cinema and a tupperware of fruit. Is it worth going????

Day 9

Who would have thought that chopping and preparing veg would take so long??? I seem to have lost my last 2 evenings preparing stuff for the next couple of days. Fingers crossed I'm ahead enough to sit on my arse watching tv tonight. Its about all I'm fit for. My shoulders were sore from yesterday before I even got started on todays exercises. For once I didnt skip at the same time - I'm saving it for later....meaning all I wanted was my breakfast, a cup of coffee and a rest. I'm gonna regret it I'm sure. A boring blog but I'm too tired to think of anything today.
