Hello, peeps, are you feeling festive? Are your fitness goals still on track?
Mine are a little meh at the moment- I’ve been over indulging a little, and feeling very festive, but I’m heading out to Clubbercise to help keep on top of things.
Here’s something I came across on Pinterest which I thought was pretty useful: I hope it helps!
Hi, guys! How was your weekend? If you saw my post yesterday, you’ll know that my weekend was one of two distinct halves: a stormy Saturday and a glorious Sunday. We had a rare quiet weekend at home with no plans, and it was bliss.
I rounded up week three of my training plan nicely with a gorgeous walk, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I’m pleased to say that my training is firmly back on track, with three solid and consistent weeks of sticking to the plan 😀 Happy, happy!
Here’s how last week went, with the scheduled sessions on the left compared to my actual training on the right:
This week is the midway point of my ‘get back to it’ plan, and the mileage ramps up a little this week. We’ll see how it goes 😉
To get me started, here’s something I”ll be focussing on this week:
Have a brilliant week, lovelies!
I’ve been clearing out my phone of the hundreds of pics I’ve had on there since Christmas, and thought I’d share some belated Christmas crackers with you.
I hope you like!
Is it nearly Christmas yet? 😉
Happy Hogmanay!
And a Happy New Year too!
Portavadie Marina is a fantastic hidden gem nestled on the west coast of the Cowal peninsula in Argyll. Conveniently for us, it is also a very short ferry ride away from Tarbert!
It features a wide range of accommodation: bed and lockers: bunk rooms for cyclists and walkers, lodge rooms (which are like good hotel rooms) , secluded cottage for honeymooners and couples and luxury apartments for friends and families who want a little more space and luxe while away.
The marina has excellent facilities, and there is a top notch restaurant, while the lodge has a more relaxed restaurant and family area. There’s a spa, and a shop which sells everything from milk and newspapers to high end clothing and chandlery supplies.
I love it!
We’ve visited many times, often for lunch and a few drinks; sometimes ourselves, other times with friends and family. We celebrated @TheWelshWookie’s 40th Birthday here, too.
And now we’re back; gatecrashing the honeymoon, and welcoming in the New Year at the Hogmanay Gala Dinner.
Lucky us! 🙂
WiFi and mobile signal is patchy, so I’ll check in when I can!
Well, we have had a FAB-U-LOUS weekend at Joe and Stacey’s wedding. The bride was stunning, the groom was dapper; the best man impressed with his organisation and speech, and the bridesmaids were gorgeous.
I didn’t run, but I danced the night away!
Would you like to see a couple of pics?
This morning, @TheWelshWookie and I were up early, and spent a couple of hours in the pool, which was great! 🙂
Next, we’re off to gatecrash the honeymoon at Portavadie this week. We are going for the Hogmanay dinner dance, and for a few days to celebrate the new year: trainers are packed for this trip!
Do you have any Hogmanay and New Year festivities planned?
Have you had a relaxing Boxing Day, or was yours filled with sales shopping?
Mine was lovely and quiet: we went for a lovely walk this morning, and have spent the day pottering and packing for my brother and soon-to-be-sister-in-law’s wedding on Saturday. I can’t wait!
We’ve had another day of eating well: @TheWelshWookie made soup and chilli bread, which was just what we needed after our walk!
Tonight, we may have another lil’ refreshment, maybe these beauties:
Do you have plans today? Anyone having to work tomorrow?
Merry Christmas!
This morning, @TheWelshWookie and I have been for a run around the harbour. Santa brought me a new Ron Hill Vizion top and my brother in law and sister in law gave us new Ron Hill gloves and beanies, so I had lots of new gear to try out!
We had a good run: it was cold, and very quiet. There were hailstones as we walked home, too!
We’re now home, opening presents and feeling very lucky and spoiled while tucking into our scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and champagne.
For dinner, we’re having rib eye and proper chips instead of turkey. Yum!
My plan for the rest of the day is to watch Doctor Who, Downton Abbey and other festive treats, wearing my onesie, my new jammies and my new slippers 🙂
I hope you all have a lovely day planned: was Santa good to you? Did you run today?
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, and all through the house…..
…..the excitement is building!
I’ve been munching on sprouts: my fave! 🙂
I wish you all a peaceful, fun and relaxing Christmas: unless you are running, then I wish you good weather and loads of good food!
I hope Santa brings you what you need this year 😀
