That should have been 46 days.

And happy St Patrick's day ☘

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 17/03/2023 12:44

Run again this morning (all this stress may actually pay off!) and a short, 5min, sea dip afterwards. It was cold (7.7°) and very rough, waves about 8ft, so probably not the best day to get back in after a year, but it was good for my soul.

Run today. Things have managed to get even more hectic and stressful this week!

Kids are off again for the next couple of days due to the strikes, so managed a workout first thing. 35 minute 'bit of everything' workout with Trinny/Nat. Enjoyed it.

@OublietteBravo those workoutswhere you kinda cbf but jfdi, are made of pure win. Good effort.
I miss my regular schedule of gym classes so much - they really kept me going. Without any exercise anchors in my week, I'm struggling at the moment.

OublietteBravo · 14/03/2023 19:54

I’m getting better at making myself do some exercise when I’d really prefer not to. NTWICF (EEI - TIH - RIO), plus warm up/cool down (38 min)

Days exercised: 9/20
Time: 386/800 minutes

OublietteBravo · 13/03/2023 19:28

I was pathetic all weekend (although I did manage 15,000 steps on Saturday). Back to it today - exercise is necessary for my sanity when work is as busy as it currently is. 6W6P L1 and DDMix: Charleston (39 mins)

Days exercised: 48/60
Time: 348/800 minutes

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 13/03/2023 15:34

I started the weekend with a lot of enthusiasm but it failed me terribly Blush

Swim at lunchtime. It was annoyingly busy and I was too fast for the slow lane but too slow for the faster one so not as enjoyable as usual.

speaking of singalong, this week for the Pain Track I did Alanis' "You Learn" from Jagged Little Pill, and was belting out the chorus while planking. I've definitely found a new favourite for that.

🎼The fire trucks are comin' up around the bend
[Chorus]
🎤You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

@roonetta I'll post the playlists when they're good!
Here you go (you can work out easily which is which) Grin

Me this morning choosing tunes for my Sunday Special. It went very well, but I'm feeling the lack of training!

I like the look of that one Motherforkin. Might give it a go at the weekend Grin

Kids had an in-service day today so I managed a short 30 minute Pilates workout before work.

I did this this morning, Roonetta and it hurt! www.instagram.com/p/CpAdM8gr2qu/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= must check out more of this page now.

Swim at lunchtime. I finally remembered to put my fancy smellies in my swimming bag so I came out feeling and smelling better than when I went in Wink

Short run today, it's so cold!

I started following instagram.com/orlapilates?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=, Roonetta, and did some of her routines.

I’ve no idea what caused it @roonetta. I’m glad it passed quickly and really hope it doesn’t happen again!

Glad to be exercising indoors today as we have snow. Hard Body L1 (45 min)

Ouch that doesn't sound good Oubliette. Glad to see it was only temporary and you were back at it yesterday. Do you think it was something you had eaten? Flowers

How lucky are we that we can decide what we feel like doing on any given day and it is right at our fingertips. Which Pilates workout did you choose Motherforkin?

"Ministry of funny walks" had me laughing Bez Grin. I remember that feeling after doing any Jillian Michaels' workout, especially sitting on the toilet the day after Blush

Just time for a 20 minute 'Lift with Cee' chest and triceps workout today.

30/200 (feels like it has taken me forever to reach 30 workouts!)

That sounds awful, Oubliette, I hope you're OK.

Great that you're keeping going with the classes Bez, it sounds like you have a nice community there.

I have been scouring Instagram for something less boring than my usual go to, so did two pilates routines from there.
