Afternoon ladies,

I went for drive to outlet village & didnt buy anything! Not sure whats wrong with me i love shopping! Off to fab the house. Eh xx

ww, maybe you and sparkles could enter a triathlon between you?;) You seem to hae two events each sorted. never mind, you have four years to train!!

:eek::eek::eek: Not the way I feel at the moment! Just back from the "walk" which was more like mountaineering! So hard that quite a few people dropped out! 4.5 hours of steep hills, walking down streams and general hard work with only a 20 min break to scoff some sandwiches. Some people were complaining that it wasn't the walk advertised - no mention of such hard climbs. I will definitely feel it tomorrow,in fact my legs have already seized up and I still have to walk the dog again.:o
The good news is that myfitnesspal calculates the cals burnt as 1350! Thats more than a days food for me! May well treat myself tonight now.

Just like to say that not all Welsh people are as bad as those experienced on nights out - although I have had my moments in my youth!:rotfl:

Off to hobble round the streets with the dog before my legs completely stop working......

The Welsh are lovely, I came to uni here and stayed here

Thanks EH! Welsh people ARE lovely:D

Just planning the coming week and thought I'd write a list to remind me of things to do . Last week's really helped me to get things done so I hope nobody minds?




Exercise

• 2 swims, minimum 50 lengths each
• 3 runs, will try to match yesterday's run and then add a minute or two on in subsequent ones
• 45 min - 1 hour long main dog walk every day plus 20 mins in the morning and evening

Schoolwork

• Write a new yr 11 scheme of work for Sept (will take ages)
• Finish off a yr 12 BTEC assignment

Holiday planning

• Decide on clothes I'm taking and wash and iron anything that needs doing
• Buy a few toiletries and sunscreen/aftersun
• Get some Euros
• Meet mum halfway to Wales on Sat to drop off the dog for the week

Social

• Walk with ladies group on Weds if dry
• Meal next Sunday with 3 school friends
• Go to see the new Batman film

Extra little jobs

• Touch up paintwork in hall
• Weeding and mowing
• Clean microwave
• Hoover car

That should keep me out of trouble, I am on holidays!

Go Andy Murray - well done on winning the gold. Yeah!

My list for next week is;

Bike rides x 2 x 50mins
Shred L3 x 5 days

Ironing, spread cleaning across the week, loaf onto bake on Thurs, usual fab routine daily morning and evening and plan a nice long Sunday bike ride

Also do those few jobs I always put off - take trousers in for alteration, cancel mobile contract and other membership cancellation

Hah, we're like a cultural exchange - I'm Welsh, but came to England for uni and stayed! (well, went back to Wales for a couple years then returned to Bristol)

I wouldn't want the Welsh to be maligned either. I'm Welsh though and through and proud of it. Met DH on university course and moved to England but... far away a voice is calling...

Maman - that was written especially for us exiles! Always brings a tear to my eye and makes me all patriotic and nostalgic. Will probably be singing it all day now! I have a CD of a Welsh Male Voice Choir in the car and almost always play it when I'm on the way home to the Motherland - most people would think I'm bonkers! When I go past the "Welcome to Wales" sign near Monmouth I always have a little sing of the national anthem - exOH used to think I was slightly unhinged!:rotfl: You can take a girl out of the valleys.....


Well, today I feel like I've been run over by a bus - everything aches:( I'm hoping that it will all loosen up a bit when I walk the dog, will be a very slow plod today. Think its a day off strenuous exercise for me.
I need to do a good few hours schoolwork, the weather isn't great and I'm not much use for anything else!
Will do a bit of dog fabbing later - he's desperately in need of a bath, blow dry and brush (the dreaded 3 B's in my house!).

Hope everyone has a good Monday.

maman

I don't think you're unhinged ww. I always flash my lights and wave at the dragon as we come off the Severn Bridge!:) My DH is used to it but it was odd earlier in the year when we were around the Chester/Wrexham area as we kept going back and forth over the border and I had to wave every time!! Good luck with the dog fabbing, I'm sure he'll look great and all ready for his holidays! Sorry to hear you're in a bad way from yesterday, try to keep moving without overdoing it.

I've done a basic fabbing routine today. Shower, slather, hair etc. I'm going to make myself do some reading but the Olympics are so compulsive. Maybe I'll finish my ironing with 5 Live in the background. I'm really enjoying it but getting frustrated with the time consumed. I tried taking myself off to a huge M&S on Saturday, was prepared to treat myself but didn't fancy anything that wasn't in the food hall!:rotfl:

Have a good day all.

Hi All. Not much fabbing going on with me at the moment. Still working through this infection I have - It is making me totally exhausted. Went back to bed after breakfast today again and only got up at 12noon.

I haven't really thought about goals but last night I started working through a new book I bought a while ago called 9 Days to feel fantastic. I have skimmed the first 3 chapters and he is looking at excercise, 'me time' and sleep. I am going to try and work through this and start with some light exercise in the form of Yoga. I have been meaning to restart my Yoga programme from ages but the following link really motivated me to go for it

Will have a wee think about my goals this afternoon, also bearing in mind that my late start with this challenge leaves me about 7 weeks to go.

PS: I have never posted a link before. If it doesn't work please could someone tell me what I should be doing? Thanks
