Fit Fridays 19/02/10

**Not sure what happened here.  I had a freak out Friday night when I realised I hadn't posted this, the driving home at midnight I remembered I set it up  as an 'auto' post...and it's taken me till NOW to realise it never auto posted**

This week's exercise hasn't been as full on as last weeks but I still believe it was a pretty good effort.

Last weeks exercise ended with a 'mystery' class at the gym as part of my weight loss challenge, well as it turned out it was a circuit clas and O M G was it tough but it was also heaps of fun.  The ladies from the challenge are great all of them are lovely and great fun to work out with.  This week we're doing aqua or dance fit so I'll fill you in on them later.

So this is what I got up to this week

Saturday -mowed the lawn (ran it to try to avoid the rain) still took me over 1hour!

Sunday - 30min treadmill interval training

Monday - EA Sports Active 29 mins, plus another 15mins sports workout (heaps fun!!) Ab work out (i'll be adding more to my abs soon)

Tuesday - 20min treadmill interval training, abs

Wednesday - Red arrow with the added weight of a 10.5kg 9month old baby on my back! I went for a second lap around but wasn't going to make it.  For those that don't know the red arrow, it's a bush walk up hill and it's mostly stairs. It's only 1.3klm round trip butit's 1.3klm of torture!

Thursday - EA Sports 30mins

Friday - BOXING class YAY this is my most favourite, anticipated and best work out of the week.  I work harder in boxing than any other exercise I do.

So looking forward to next week....

Challenge work out on Sunday (dance fit or aqua) (**edited as this is posted late, we did aqua!)

Mums and Bubs Aqua starts again on Monday

I'm keen for the red arrow on Wednesday (and possibly looking to add it in as a regular weekend exercise also)

And another mystery challenge class on Friday arvo, if I can make it all depends on concrete_man and work.

So there you go, all in all not too bad. Well that is if you don't count the fact my legs were that sore from the red arrow on Wednesday I could hardly walk for 2 days!

What did you get up to this week???

**Sorry about the confusion, I'll make sure the next post works!! **

Fit Friday 05/02/10

Welcome to the first Fit Friday...this is what I've been up to this week.

I have to admit it's not as much as I had hoped for the first week, but every little bit counts.

Monday - Mum and Bubs water workout with both kids for resistance!!! Plus (my newest workout addition) Ab King Pro (lol) 2 x 10reps each of Crunches and Oblique Crunches

Tuesday - 40min Wii workout, Ab King workout

Wednesday - 30min Wii workout all cardio,

Thursday - Ab King Workout and played Wii with Rat_girl for about an hour

Fri- Well I haven't planned that yet but I'll included what I do today in next weeks wrap.

How do I feel about what I've done this week, pretty slack actually.  In comparison to the last few weeks I think I could have done more.

Today I'm going to have a real think of what I can achieve exercise wise in a week and try to set an exercise schedule and stick to it!

So, what have you been up to this week?

Some people are so rude!

I attract all the wrong people!

On Wednesday our Mums & Bubs group was meeting at the carpark of a popular walking track, the Red Arrow, we were to meet at 8am...which really for a mother is a hard ask. But I got there, I was pretty much all prepared the night, but I was about 5 mins late when I drove in. I couldn't see the group anywhere so I drove slowly through the carpark looking to see if I could see the trainers car or the other mums. I found the trainers car pulled up next to it, unpacked the kids as quick as possible and started searching by foot.


When 15min had passed and I couldn't find them, I ask a man who had come off the red arrow if he had seen them on his travels to which he responded "Yes, when I first got here, that was ages ago you are obviously very late" I replied "well no I was about 5 mins late I've been searching for them" he replied again "People in the avenue are very punctual you know, and can't be expected to wait around for rude people like you that turn up late" I turned to him and said "well F**K you mate" and walked off almost in tears! I left a not on the trainers car and she phoned me when she finished to say that from now on when we meet there she will leave a note on her car so people know where they are.

Funny though, I already felt like a little bit of an outcast in the group as it's been running awhile and I'm new and all the girls are just skinny and gorgeous and all know eachother quite well....I feel even more of an outcast now as someone being last has obviously never been and issue until I showed up.  Doesn't matter I'm not there to make friends I'm there for the exercise!
