Hello, here we are at the start of a brand new week, and I can’t quite believe that we are in August already, with schools going back next week. How on earth did that happen?
I had a pretty good week last week, keeping my eating on track and my activity levels up. Now I need to be consistent and keep that going throughout this week.
Most of my activity was walking, but I also did a TPP class on Tuesday and squeezed in a very wet run on Wednesday.
This weekend we’ve been busy cleaning and organising which definitely torched a stack load of calories!
Here’s a little motivation for us all today, if we need it:
Have a great week!
This has been a very quick summer, and August is now almost upon us. How has that happened? I’ve had such a great summer so far and the weather continues to be better than usual so I’ll be making the most of it with a walk along the harbour later.
We’ve had another busy weekend with excellent company, fantastic meals out, family parties and gin, of course!
But what it means is my waistline is paying the price! And with more events planned, I have some dresses that I now need to shrink into! So, it back to the routine as much as possible over the next few weeks.
I’ve had a cheeky day off today, and I have spent it cleaning, washing and weeding – so it hasn’t been spent in the sofa for once!
Here’s to a new week: 
Oops- almost forgot to post today. Here you are!
Have a great week!
I’ve not blogged for a couple of weeks, as we’ve been on holiday. It was good to step back and change up my routine with no pressure to keep anything up. We had a bit of a staycation: we visited places in North Wales before going to the Midlands and the coming back up via York. We had a great time!
During the first week, we kept our eating more or less on track, but we’re much more relaxed during the second week. And though we didn’t have any formal fitness plans, we did an awful lot of walking almost every day, often getting around 15,000 – 20,000 steps in. So all in all, not bad!
We are getting back into a routine this week. No circuits tonight, but we got a lovely long walk in after work instead.
Have a good week, whether you are in holiday, working or getting back, and don’t forget: 
How was your weekend? Mine was great- and it has been fab to see the sunshine and warm weather make a welcome return. Love it!
I had a full on week again last week, and I stayed pretty close to my goals for health and fitness. Hear is how my activity measured up:
Monday- body blitz circuits. Jacqui mixed in some new challenges and we used the short resistance loop bands which are my new favourite- I had DOMs for most of the week afterwards. We have bought some bands for ourselves so they’ll be coming in holiday with us!
Tuesday- I wasn’t back from Glasgow in time for Trigger Point Pilates, but I did squeeze in a walk
Wednesday- JogScotland. We ran out and back along the Glen Road which is uphill on the way out and joyously downhill on the way back. It was great, even if my new hair cut was destroyed by the rain!
Thursday- it was the final week of round 56. We ran through the whole thing non-stop. It was tough, but I really enjoyed this round!
Friday- a sunny walk around the harbour
Saturday- another sunny walk around the harbour
Sunday- gardening. Lots of squats when weeding!
Jacqui is away on holiday for a week, then @TheWelshWookie and I are on holiday for two weeks so there will be no classes for a while. We have picked our resistance loop bands and running gear, so I plan to get some activity in. But, more than anything, I’m looking forward to some down time. It’s been six months since my last break so I’m definitely going to have some R and R.
In the meantime, here’s something to keep me focused this week:
