Tut Tut

Well it was the works party last night, hardly anyone came, and I got pissed and made a fool of myself, so i have matched Angies little hickup a few weeks ago, except I dont have any body damage !
We have managed to pay for our holiday, so 8 weeks today we will be in Lansarote ;-)
I have just done a 3 mile walk, to try and undo the bad night !

Didn't Last Long

Well after careful consideration I cancelled my gym membership , as I cant always make the very early starts that I would want to do, as it becomes very busy after 9 am.
I also was a bit dissapointed in the fact I burnt nearly 400 calories in my last workout, but I can do that on a decent walk or bike ride, which is more fun , and free !

Elsewhere it looks like we can make the final payment for our holiday this November,so we are going to be taking a well earned break ! We neither have been to Lanzarote before, but it has to be better than here, and the more or less constant rain we have had for the last 3 months here !
My weight has not changed latley, im still 15-5, so thats not bad !

Getting better all the time ...

Well i attended the gym at 7 Am prompt again this morning, logged in and got on my bike, 10 minutes later, shattered but happy. I hit a wall around 4 minutes in, plodded on, then it became easier and I started enjoying it, this was also the case for my 10 Min row, and 10 Min cross trainer, ending with a 10 Min high speed walk, with a bit of jogging in-between ! then it was onto the weights, and I did various arm and leg exercises. I spent over an hour and a half in there today, and I am well pleased with myself ! The Computer informed me I had been on ten machines , lifted just short of ten metric tonnes, and burnt 400 Calories ! Not so hectic day ahead now, unfortunately my friend has had to cancel our meal tonight, as she is very unwell at the moment. But - I have a second wind in my ongoing family tree project, so we might be off to Glossop soon to meet a very old Auntie of mine, to try and find out more about my Dads side of the family. It will kill 2 birds with one stone actually, as she lives on Shirebrook Park in Glossop, which I don't know, but our Glossop buses are re routed around it from this Monday !

The Day After !

And I feel fine ! My arms are a little achy, but pain is good ! I finish today for my long weekend, so I will be back at the gym early in the morning. I now have a program to follow on my smart card, and it tells me where to go, and sets every machine up for me as i drag myself around ! A few social events on the horizon too, we are meeting another old friend of mine, when we go round to hers for a curry tomorrow night, then a trip to Buxton Saturday to see another old friend, my son and the grand kids, then a 25th anniversary party in the evening. hectic, but hey ho , party on !!
