Keeping motivated

IzzyBee

I’m with you on that one I will have a good walk on a morning as soon as it’s lighter not safe just wandering about in the dark but like you I walked to work in the dark and when I get back to work I’ll have no problem with my steps have done some exercise in the house that doesn’t really count as steps but it’s about getting fitter as well and of course hubby thinks I’m only here to run around after him sick of hearing while you’re on your feet 😡

All steps count now matter how gained, even pottering around the house. Mr SA also thinks my sole purpose is to look after him 🙄

I’ve got 10000 steps in been for my walk heavy snowfalls here overnight and more forcast for this afternoon so went out this morning get it over and done with snow on top of ice does not make for good walking it was hard going but I’ve stuck with it for 12 days now and it is supposed to be a bit better this weekend don’t feel any thinner but I have a long way to go and am determined not to get weighed until the end of January going to clean bedrooms and do a tray of roast veg to go with chops I’ve got for tea picked up a packet of cauli and broccoli rice in Aldi just to see what it’s like it’s one of those pouches you microwave for 2mins I am having that with salmon tomorrow night never had it before just thought it was something for a change hubby won’t eat it far to different for him I will eat anything except jelly nothing exciting happening here just keeping on looking forward to better weather and hopefully things in general been better was talking to another dog walker today who works at the local hospital she has had Covid and she wasn’t ill at all with it but she said she feels extremely lucky as she has seen some terrible things in hospital and she said it is very busy and getting busier and she said there is some families that have lost 3or 4 people within days of each other very frightening have good day whatever you are doing and stay safe

I like cauliflower rice but didn't like the broccoli rice even though I love broccoli. It tasted too green, a bit like seaweed. I hope you enjoy it anyway. Mr SA wouldn't touch it either. I think you're doing really well with the steps despite the snow and ice. We had a frost this morning which has stayed around but the pavements are ok for walking on. I think snow is forecast for us tomorrow. It is very frightening how this strain of Covid is taking hold. I was talking to someone at work yesterday who lost 2 elderly members of her family to it over Christmas.

We have had heavy snow overnight and it is forecast to me minus 8 tonight so I don’t know what walking will be like tomorrow then on Sunday it has to reach the dizzy heights of 5 I hope so done my 10000 steps walking wasn’t to bad it’s definitely easier to walk in snow than ice hate the stuff came back and had a couple of soft boiled eggs for lunch salmon and veg for dinner going to do some exercise in the house later cleaned upstairs before I went out so won’t be doing much else today little dogs having a snooze now she’s got a great life just been asked when I was out why I wasn’t at work told them I was furloughed said she thought it was shocking all these people who were sitting on there backsides getting paid for doing nothing this came from somebody who’s never worked she won’t be asking me again she got it both barrels can somebody just put me on a desert island away from idiots well must get my lazy backside moving have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

What a terrible thing to say, it’s not your fault you’re furloughed, some people are so rude. You’re being paid to be kept in a job ready to get the economy back up and running when called back. No wonder you were angry. 

We don’t have any snow here but have black ice which is making the pavements lethal in sheltered spots where it hasn’t thawed. Give me snow any day.

I should have ignored her really she is the same person who years ago said to me no wonder nobody can get a job you’ve got them all top and bottom of it is she was wanting to know my business and I fell in to the trap I just don’t know why people have to be so rude 

beanielou

Bah. How rude.

How rude indeed....some people haven’t got a clue how to behave.
You've done so well with the walking. I’m afraid I’ve not ventured out in the ice other than to the supermarket yesterday and the car park was gritted  so wasn’t slippery. I had intentions of getting the wii fit out but that hasn’t happened yet.

If you want to get some steps in without leaving the house, there’s a You Tube channel called Walk at Home by Lesley Sansome. She does walking workouts but incorporates other bits in so it’s not as boring as it sounds.
