Davina my old faithful, Mystery solved

when I find it hard to do any other exercise, I shove the patronising bint in my dvd player, turn the sound down and workout really hard. That was the plan today as I felt a bit better, but not well enough to venture outside.

Stupid woman is not in her case, where she belongs by the way. I have looked everywhere, even in the lazy ass teenage daughters bedrooms, whose idea of exercise is to turn the music up louder(not to dance or anything energetic,just so its louder).

Now I am feeling quite upset about this, which makes me think maybe I actually enjoy seeing her smug face on my tv, in fact maybe I actually like her!!

NAH, just find her easier than Nell Mcandrew.

So Nell it was, bloody hell what a workout, 1hr of pure torture, but do you know what? I feel great now, I sometimes forget that I used to be really fit and loved pushing myself.

Lesson learnt today is that it is up to me to get my fitness levels back, I can pussy foot about with lots of small efforts, but if I really want to be fit and strong again I need to push myself to do the tougher workouts.


I felt that great, that after lunch I did two ten minute challenges on my biggest loser X-box connect thingy, and I won. I am not too happy that my avatar is the fattest in all the challenges though, it better start changing shape soon. Cant say that having an outline shape like Barney the bloody dinosaur is good for my self esteem !!!


Cannot believe that I am that dense, was just checking my list of posts throughout january, when I spotted one with the exact same title as todays.
After reading it, I know exactly where mrs smug is hiding. She is at placement, I took her in last week to use on a group activity, must have left her in the dvd player, DOH !!!

Will change my title to Davina my old faithful, mystery solved.

deli belly

gut rot, the trots, how ever you want to call it, I have it and have been running to the loo all night. so for janathon today I have used hand weight every time that I have been loo bound. My biceps are bulging as are other parts that I wont mention !!

Stupid Orange

(mobiles) that is not the lovely juicy round oranges that make your mouth water!

I have been patiently waiting for my new blackberry phone that hubby bought me for my birthday and recieved an email on monday saying it would be with me tomorrow. Sorted time off work to wait in for it, gets home tonight to another email telling me how sorry they are but my phone is out of stock.

Well thats just bloody great, I have time booked off with no reason now and I am pissed off, why leave it until this late to tell me its not coming ? Do they think people just sit around all day as a matter of course, incompetent twits!!!

Back to Janathon, I have done my wednesday hour rebound session with clients, my 5 mile walk to and from placement and my 30min zest circuit session.

The amount of pacing and ranting I have done over this bloody phone for the last hour should be counted too, because I have worked myself into a right sweat!!! Someone will be feeling my wrath over the phone tomorrow morning, that is a fact

no walk today

My foot is so paiful and swollen, that I decided to stay on my buses today to try and give my foot chance to rest. It felt really bad sitting on the bus all the way, I was itching to get off, so janathon had already set a good routine for me.

We took a couple of clients to the hydropool again today and as there were more than enough support workers, I got to go in the big pool and have a proper swim. Swimming is not one of my favourite exercises, but I really enjoyed it today i managed half an hour continous swimming with a couple of minute breaks every couple of laps.

As it it Burns night coming up, scottish dancing is the theme for group activities. So Scottish highland fling it was, though if I am honest it looked more like I was having a seizure than flinging. To be fair I only have one good foot to dance on at the moment, the dance may look better if I can get this foot to stop bloody throbbing.

Got home a little earlier (another advantage to sitting on the bus I suspose) which left me time to do 20 minutes of torture biggest loser x-box thingy.

Quite an constructive day all in all, my mood is much better than yesterday, so thanks for all the nice comments, it is nice just to know that someone has listened and not judged :)

boring post.com

Have had a stressful day, feeling quite emotional and want to cry. So here it is ,Janathon stats for today:

I walked 5 miles on a bloody sore foot (plantar fasciitis playing up)

OUCH

Really was not expecting to feel this achey after half an hour playing on the x-box yesterday. I got up this morning and I hurt in places that I have not hurt since I went to the gym last year. Oh well, it works then.

Today I decided that even though it hurts I would add an extra 10 minutes on to my biggest loser session, partly because its weekend and I have the time. But mainly because when I dragged myself kicking and screaming popped on to the scales this morning I had gained two of the pounds that I lost last week :( . Not that I am surprised, the amount of food and wine that I have stuffed down my throat this week I am lucky I did not put the whole four pounds back on. So anyway thats a 40 minute circuit session on the X-box.

I also took my doggies around Skipwith common whilst wearing leg weights and carrying my bag full of spuds, which by the way have sprouted extra spuds since sweating in my bag for a week. (pretty sure that we wont be having them with our sunday lunch)



When I got back from my walk I was complaining to my hubby about how tired just a little walk made me feel, and that I felt so unfit and tired all the time. When he reminded me that less than 4 weeks ago I was in hospital on a ventilator hooked up to drips etc, due to swine flue. This made me feel a bit happier because if you take those 3 weeks of being really poorly into account, I am doing bloody well keeping up with all the Janathon antics, so Yay for me .

X-BOX360-Kinect the biggest loser

well it finally arrived, the x-box that was meant to be a xmas pressie for me the whole family, so after half an hour faffing it was ready to go.

As I have been persuaded to try and keep at Janathon, I bagged first go and put the biggest loser bootcamp on, half an hour later dripping in sweat and looking like an oompa loompa my workout was done. The kids had great fun laughing at me trying to keep up with the trainer, and the trainer had great fun telling me I must do better!!!

I have taken both the dogs out separetely, as I am not sure about this new greyhound we have adopted, and did not think I could handle them both on my own, (hubby on a training course today). so two short walks of a bout a mile each. Was going to get my bike out but it is too windy, kinda wish this january weather would piss off now.

So thats me Janathoned for another day, now its time to get my essay tidied up, a couple of reflections typed and my presentation planned, bye for now and thanks to my encouragers:)
