I ended my day 5 points in debit - I can cope with that, and with a bit of effort tomorrow and monday before the children return from their Dads, I will have caught up I hope

Well done you - Davina is a toughie!

benbenandme

Morning all, Davina is done :j :j Trying to persuade myself to get out for my walk but not really feeling like it today

Nothing much else planned for today other than collecting ds at 3, so no excuses for not going really is there

benbenandme

Okay, feeling really smug now, have been and done my walk, measured 10,350 steps today (no jogging this time) ... off now for a warm bath and then some breakfast, I'm starving

hypno06

Hello all, we went round to mums for a bit earlier then went up the forest with a picnic and met my sister and her family up there. The kids all had a kickabout with the football and then we went for a walk and they were on their bikes. Ds did really well and has definitely got the hang of it now

My thighs and bum are in agony today, clearly Davinas doing her stuff, I was planning on doing the dvd again today but don't think I would be able to, I can hardly bend them lol

Spends today = £3.84 on milk, croissants and mixed veg.

Has the Davina DVD got lots of jumping about in it :j- only I live in a first floor flat and I don't want downstairs to think their ceiling is coming through!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I was thinking of getting it as most people say it's really good?

Hi DFF, it does have some jumping bits but I live above another flat too but just try to make sure I do it when they're out etc, basically its split into sections; warmup, legs/bum, upper body, abs and then cool down. Each of the 3 main sections are things like lunges, crunches etc, but there are 4 x 1 minute fat burning intervals in them to keep the heart rate up. These are things like running on the spot, boxing, star jumps etc. Its all easy stuff to do from a co-ordination point of view, but it is hard work, although there are 2 personal trainers doing it with her and one shows you how to do it all at a beginners level You can do it all in one go or each section as and when you feel like it. A girl at work has done it for 6 months and looks amazing. She does eat really healthily too but never goes to a normal gym, just does this dvd, so that was good enough for me

Of all the dvd reviews I looked at the Davina ones always seem to come out on top too, hth

So, today was planned as an indoor day and the weather forecasters were right, it is peeing it down Last night I did a Tescos order so that will be delivered this afternoon between 3-5 saving me from having to go there today with the rest of the world after the bank holiday

Todays plan involves;

• ironing
• change the beds
• washing
• hoovering
• cleaning
• tidying everywhere yet again
• banking
• davina dvd
• 50 x comps
• possibly getting some bits on ebay

Ds has some homework for the holidays, to go onto bbc bitesize ks1 maths and play some of the games on there. Last night when I was in the bath he said he'd do his homework :eek: :T, anyway, I forgot about it while I was in the bath and when I came out he'd been on there for nearly an hour, and had got bored with the ks1 level so had moved on to the ks2 level :j :j He's already said he'd like to do some more later today too:D He is also going to knock for a neighbour and see if he wants to come round to play later on. Am sure that will involve lots more mess/housework but thats okay, its nice for him to have someone to play with

Enjoy half term, and hurrah for homework being enjoyable :j
