[roonetta]

Hope this works!

Vinyasa yoga session with Cassandra. Had totally forgotten about her and absolutely loved the yoga today.

2 mile WWL done ☑️

41/200

I managed to miss my lunchtime swim yesterday and forgot there wasn't an evening one. The weather was so awful I took to the couch (with my doms) instead. Up early for a class this morning.

Days exercised 56

Did a HIIT workout today (epic 2 day 6).

Do you swim as part of a group motherforkin?

Oh no, Sophie, it was a swim at the local pool I missed yesterday. I go there just to get my lengths in and it's good rehab for my shoulder (plus under the flab I'm starting to build some muscle again!) I sea swim with a friend but we haven't been able to get time in the last few months then it got too cold. Once the work mayhem is over I'm going to make it a a priority to get down to the sea a couple of times a week.

40 minute "Lift with Cee" full body workout. She's a bit gentler than Girvan

Off to Devon/Dorset for a few days. Hopefully will be doing lots of walking, weather permitting 🌦️🌦️

42/200

I did my open day yesterday, and had 24 in my free demo class. My instructor brought her 10wo babby in, great to see her and meet the wean.
This morning was day 1, had 5 in my first for reals class.
26 days. Soo good to be back

Swim today. I managed to coordinate it so the kids' friends were there meaning I could do my lengths in peace while they mucked about with their mates. Win win!

Days exercised 57

Enjoy your holiday Roonetta! I love Dorset - not really been to Devon. The walking sounds wonderful.

Glad you had such a good turn out for your class bezmills.

Good tactic for a quiet swim motherforkin! I have to make sure the dog is sleeping when I exercise. He's nothing like the quiet, lying down dogs I see on you tube with the instructors! But then he's still a puppy (albeit a very large puppy)

Iron day 3 today - glutes. They feel sore already.

20 min yin yoga. I'm very not flexible

Short run this morning although I was trying to go a bit faster so it nearly did me in. Doms aren't bad yesterday/today after Saturday's class but my legs felt heavy when I was running.

Hope you have a nice, relaxing break, Roonetta. I got a message earlier about a possible weekend away in Oct and I'm already very excited! My dog is utterly uninterested in me exercising until he thinks he's getting out for a walk, Sophie! I couldn't even use him as an excuse not to work out at home 😀

Days exercised 58

I did actually exercise on Friday. (Hard Body L2: 48 min). So I ended March on 18/20 days exercise and 726/800 minutes.

This week is going to be patchy given I’m traveling for work. So far 45 mins of NTWICF.

Days exercised: 59/80
Time: 45/750 minutes

(NC)
10 min barre
20 min lower body mobility
20 min recovery spin

Sounds like the complete opposite of my huge puppy motherforkin Ooo where might you go in October ? Good to have things to look forward to.

Just managed a 30 min Cassandra vinyasa flow for flexibility (dog asleep!) and the 3 min bowflex plank challenge.
Feeling a bit under the weather - horrible sore throat so hope I feel better tomorrow.

Some friends in Edinburgh Sophie. Haven't seen them in forever so it should be really fun. I hope it works out.

Another class this morning. I like the structure of having to go and be there at a set time and having someone telling me what the plan is. I'm massively stress eating which is completely counteracting any good it's doing though

Days exercised 59

Like the new name Maple, makes me want pancakes and crispy bacon.

I went for a short swim today. Short because I got whacked in the face and ended up with a cut and swollen lip and sore teeth. Because some jackass doesn't know how to politely share a swimming lane. I wouldn't normally count a short swim but I feel my injury deserves its recognition.

Days exercised 60

Aoutsch @MotherForkinShirtBalls !

10 min barre
20 mins spin

Got to an early class this morning. My shoulder is holding up well which is a very pleasant surprise.

Days exercised 61

How's your mouth @MotherForkinShirtBalls ?

It's OK thanks, Bez. The swelling had gone down by last night and the cut has almost healed. I'm back to looking like I don't look like I have botched fillers 😆

Morning! Yesterday I ran my evening BodyCombat class. What was super exciting is that my instructor turned up to train, with her 11wo (!) in tow. Her DP teaches the class after me, so he came down just before my class to take the tiny while she trained. Went pretty well, although we did start 6 minutes late due to everybody cooing at the (admittedly v adorbs) babby. Then I had to stop just a bit early because she needed to go and swap in so that DP could get his class going. ( He's veh organised and would have been a bit put-out if I'd squeezed too much into his setup time.)

I had two late cancellations, due to JGS (January Gym Syndrome) - they attempted a bit much in the first week back and needed a rest day.

Overall went pretty well, I kept an eye on my instructor but she's an absolute machine and just smashed it out. I always knew this day would come, and came it did. Cool.

Hope your throat is better Sophie

Ouch Motherforkin! I hope they apologised. Glad to hear the swelling has gone down

Great consistent exercise Maple. Like the name change

Wow your instructor sounds badass bez, back at it after 11 weeks! It sounds like you are doing great - you should be really proud

Back after a lovely break. Not much walking done but there is nothing quite like sitting and watching the waves and taking it all in while eating lots of ice cream . Our cottage was in the middle of nowhere so we were surrounded by countryside. So peaceful and relaxing - just what the doctor ordered.

50 minute strength workout with Trinny/Nat. Felt great

43/200

Well done on the class Bez, it sounds great.

Nope Roonetta, not an apology. I got a bumbling "oh, beg your pardon" as he swam off but no actual apology. Your break sounds lovely.

Are you feeling better again Sophie?

Too much sugar and too little sleep caught up to me and I didn't have the energy to run the hill this morning, so I walked it.
