I'm back down to 19.4 today. As you can probably imagine i'm really pleased about this but also feeling really guilty. Mainly because I only managed to get back on the slimfast for breakfast... The rest of the day really didn't go that well. I did eat healthier options rather than the old fatty, high calorie stuff I would have snacked on, but still I ate far too much and the worst thing is that I know it. Today I feel sluggish and bloated and rather ill. Which i'm hoping will pass soon because I really wanted to get out and get some exercise done.
It's half term here, I know it varies across the country, which unfortunately means that all the classes are messed up at my local gym. So no aquafit for Maris! It also means that the adult swim times are all changed around. Great for the kids i'm sure, but a bit pants for the adults. Especially those of us who only decided to have an exercise regime last week! :)
To make matters even worse on the exercise front my wii fit has decided to play up. I think it's just the battery pack but unfortunately all my rechargables, that I could have used instead, seem to have been packed somewhere clever in the move! In case you hadn't guessed i'm not even close to having finished unpacking yet.
I suspect the thing to do is go spend an hour unpacking and see if I can find batteries. I also suspect that it is highly unlikely that I will...
I spent quite a bit of yesterday re-organising and editing audio-books to put on my iPod. I read in an interview with Stephen Fry that he listens to audio-books as he walks (about 5 miles a day, crazy man) because it makes the miles go by very quickly. So, as he's my hero, I thought i'd give it a try. Although he was listening to Crime & Punishment and i'm going for Harry Potter........
Now I just need it to be a nice enough day for me to want to go outside! Oh the joys of the British summer!
Hope you're all having a lovely day!

Thank you! Your exercise chat made me get out the 'Angela Griffiths' dvd and prance around happily until worn out half way through the salsa section. How did you get on? Better than me I suspect - go gal!!
ReplyDeleteOH myGod!!!I've got the Angela Griffith's cd!! Are Pam and I the only people in the world!!? Found it really good as I like Dancing and that is def. more dancing than exercise. Borrow or steal it Maris-it's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAnother thing which was good... walking along sewerby cliff top listening to 'pride and prejudice' It enhanced both the book and the scenery. Def, recommend it. Relieves the boredom of walking and avoids talking to people who are taking their shit-zu's for a walk. Best of British luck!! x
And-by the way - you don't want a particularly nice day to go outside. You get hot and sweaty, so if it's a moderate day, you will soon get warm by walking.Makes you feel all self-righteous!!. x
ReplyDeleteLol scotty... Pam stole the Angela Griffiths dvd from me!!! I had to get myself a new one... Sadly though I only just made it to the end of "pop"!
ReplyDeleteI'll get on the hunt for P&P. xxx
