January 31st 2012

Every strain and sprain,
Every ache and pain,
Recorded and blogged,
Every activity logged.

Janathon has a special place in my heart,
Blogging has now become a fine art,
Excuses are now second nature,
As I lounge around at my leisure.

So what to to with the rest of the year,
I could sit on my ever increasing rear,
But no I hear you scream and shout,
As Junathon would be a complete blow out.

Bye bye for Janathon 2012.
Hope to speak to you again soon.

Oh yeah and exercise completed: 15 mins on cross trainer, distance covered: 6.1km

January 30th 2012

Today's the day the kitchen got ripped out.
You have to laugh at the guy who fitted it originally.
There were some peculiar finds I can tell you. Mainly with wiring which is worrying!
Never-the-less the kitchen is no more.

I have also dismantelled the cooker hood and I am half way through spraying the railing and light fixtures chrome to match the cooker. Should look good against the black if it works. Alas not much time to exercise today and needed to be in the house for the kitchen stripper (would be good if they were fit blokes but were a very nice husband and wife team instead who stripped the kitchen I hasten to add not themselves). So I resorted to 100 x length of the hall. This was completed in 7mins and 7 secs.

Now I'm off to pick up Catriona from her new dance class. Not a true dance class but a fun class with some dance thrown in. See if she enjoyed herself today as exercise should always be about having fun at the same time. Your more likely to do it then.

Right one more day of Janathon.
Bye for now folks.

Today is gut the kitchen day.

The units are getting ripped out tommorrow so I need to empty everything before hand. I tell you, I never knew the Kitchen could hold so much! Box after box getting carted either to the spare bedroom or to the make shift kitchen on the dining room table.

After a couple of hours of shifting over filled boxed and only loosing the bottom out of one, it was time to dance with Catriona. This is the official exercise of the day. 30 minutes of making a prat of myself. Its quite fun really and I sweated so exercise completed with a smile on my face (got great pain killers for the ear which I think is actually getting better slowly. Either that or I just cannot feel it lol).

January 28th 2012

My poor wee girl spent most of last night coughing so she's very tired this morning. Decided dance class is a bad idea for her. I'm not complaining as my ear is still throbbing too. Husband must nag too much lol xxx

I've done a small amount of running around today, tell me a mother with a small child who doesn't, but nothing to count as exercise. As I was full of pain killers then jogging up and down the corridor seemed like a good idea. So 100 x up and down I went to gt my 1km. This time in 7 mins and 10 secs. Nothing grand but better than nothing.

Speak tommorrow. xxx

January 27th 2012

I was hoping that when I woke this morning the ear ache (the medical term not the husband) would have gone. But alas no. Really sore still. No time to try and get to the doctors as fully booked today. Never mind, thats what pain killers are for.

Kitchen has been delivered as has my groceries. Just need to get the paper work finished and the wall paper removed from the kitchen before 12.30pm as the school is having a Scottish Afternoon starting at 1pm and Catriona expects me to be there. I managed to complete everything but couldn't face exercise that involved bounce or cold. So I walked the length of my corridor 100 times (1km). What scares me is that it dodn't take much longer than me jogging it! Either I'm a darn fast walker or a very slow runner. Probably both lol. Time taken 8 1/2 mins.

Right off to see Gran, then tea, then I'm a taxi for Catriona, then more paper work, taxi again, bed!

I'm not too sort this morning after start jump hell for pelvic floor class yesterday. Bonus.
Off to the stretch beyond recognition and hold the pose in pain class today.....also known as body balance. I usually do a warm up run or something first but due to the cold and now a re-occurance of an ear infection from only a couple of weeks back..... I can't be bothered. Oops shouldn't really say that but its true.

Completed the hour torture stretching class then back home to clean the house and move the fridge and freezer ready for the kitchen being ripped out next week. Nothing like a bit of weight training.

After slaving away all afternoon at home, back to the swimming pool for Catriona's swimming lesson. Ear is now agony and I really don't want to go into the pool. But in I go. I only managed 20 lengths. Excuse.... pool was busy and if you take into account the mobile round abouts I probably did 30 lengths....real reason....sore ear, feeling sorry for self and well couldn't be bothered. Went into the sauna instead. I sweated....does that could as exercise? lol xxx

Heavy cold + star jumps = bad pelvic floor!

Why do we do this to ourselves. I know I can exercise but star jumps are a jump too far for the weakened pelvic floor and the new body attack class has lots of star jumps. But silly me.... I still go! But I'm not the only one. Oh no..... I dash to the loo between tracks and so do 5 other women. You have to laugh. No wonder there are numerous toilets outside the main dance studio.

So.... 45 minutes later I am reduced to a puddle. (thats a puddle of sweat by the way...I did make it to the toilet in time). Slightly worse than usual sweating today as I am loaded with the cold. However, I think I have succeded in sweating most of the cold out. Score! Definately going to work on those pelvic floor exercises some more though. xxx
