Carrots - this kind www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2106393/Twelve-minutes-exercise-month-protect-heart-lower-risk-diabetes.html

I've just been diagnosed with glucose intolerance which is a pre-diabetic condition , hence resolution about sorting meals properly and exercising!!
I think it is the flylady version of exercise!

Three lots of 20 seconds bouncing star jumps on my mini exercise trampoline, separated by a few minutes getting my breath back sorting out washing that was on airer. Airer and trampoline are both in my spare room so bouncing prompts me to sort the washing!

I watched that programme Arti. I really hope it is successful quickly. Bouncing on a mini trampoline sounds fun

Bouncing is fun - but I get knackered a bit out of breath rather quickly!

Have done 15 mins washing up.

Feeling a little CBA now but I suppose I was up too early! The tiredness must be kicking in.

Can you move to the 15 min rest, 15 min work rota Cats to get you through to school pick up?

Ta Das:

another episode of Silent Witness worth of ironing. I now have the heebie jeebies so ds and I will make a matching pair.

I will buddy if you like Cats.

Oh and I just put a wash on too.

Shall we start again at 2.15 - 2.30? carrots

Would have loved to have dried washing outside today but the painters are still painting the outsides of the flats and it seemed like it would be an accident waiting to happen!

I am going to work for another hour now so happy to buddy up with carrots and cats! I'll be back in anhour to check up on you let you know how I'm getting on!

I'm off to dry up or something. I think I need to push myself to keep doing little bits.

! x drying up and 1 x washing up done. Yay!

Time for a now.

Yay for Cats and Zoo! Well done for your ta dahs!
One lesson half planned here!

Well done Cats.

I put lots of things away in the bedroom, filled a carrier bag with rubbish and dusted it (apart from dh's bedside cabinet which is very cluttered).

I think that was a bit more than today's mission but it will catch me up maybe if it gets busy later in the week.

I also ironed one more shirt.

Excellent list zoo. I may have to go and buy some chocolate to share out tonight. I haven't had any for ages!

Are we doing bedroom missions or ones for entry/hallways this week?

How are things going now Cats?

Quick further update on ta dahs
Taken out kitchen rubbish plus plastics and paper recycling!

Morning all,

I won't link today's babystep as it's already linked in my first post up there ^

Once you have shined your sink, you might like to think about the current zone (The Entrance, Front Porch and Dining Room) and consider doing a mission (today's is to wipe fingerprints off the walls) or if you're really in the mood for it, do a bit of detailed cleaning

I forgot to say, the above are all OPTIONAL! Don't even think about doing them if you are busy or if your focus is decluttering! We don't want anyone getting stressed out or burnt out!

My link seems to have been wrong yesterday. Sorry folks. I suspect it was last week's and hadn't been updated yet. Oh well, my bedroom is a lot nicer to be in now

Thanks for sorting it out bessie.

I failed on the first hurdle last night. My head was so sore I just wanted to lie down. I WILL do better today

I have nearly done babystep 2 - I just need to put my trainers on.

Ta Das:

Bed stripped and in wash
