Good luck for wi :0)

Thanks Daisy.

 

[bulldogdaisy]

Yes, I did today! I also slowed down a bit as I reckon that fewer repeats done properly is a lot better than throwing my legs around fast! Can feel it in my legs and bum today though! I'm OK on the punches - just need more work on the kicks!

You will get there,I still have the odd moment myself,lol that's good that you can feel it :0)

Weigh in today and I'm a pound down. Would have liked two to get rid of that blip from a couple of weeks ago but at least it is going in the right direction again, so I don't think I'll change anything yet - will just keep on as I am and see what happens next week.

Thanks Daisy - yes I'm OK with a pound off - of course I'd like more, but wouldn't we all most weeks? I do a bit of Yoga as part of my Wii Fit stuff, but haven't done a full routine for years and I really enjoyed it - it's so good for stretching everything, especially the spine. Think I will try and include some two or three times a week.

I've had a fairly lazy day,like you I've been curled up on the net and watching tv but yup pup walking as well but I like that as it means I always have to do a least a small bit of exercise per day,remind me of that when it snows lol.So what plans do you have for exercise over the next three days?

Hi Daisy, sorry for not replying sooner - not been on here for rest of weekend. Awful Sat night and Sunday - still loads of fallout from this thing that kicked off in April. Why does life have to be so complicated hey? *Sigh* Feeling totally drained today - hoping a bit of exercise when I have updated my tracker/diary etc will help to make me feel more lively. Yes. when we had our dog I used to walk so much more - and they don't care about the snow etc do they? Mind you he used to walk round puddles!

Need to change tea as the day didn't go according to plan and so didn't have a proper meal. Tea is just half of the Turkey Wedges, no Sweet Potato etc., so that's 3PP and 1PP for the Yogurt on my fruit. Plus a packet of French Fries (2PP) - so that's 6PP instead of 12, which makes my totals for the day...

30PP, 29 dailies, 1 weekly
Weeklies remaining 18

LOL about the towel rub - big softies! Yes Buster didn't mind the rain on his coat but he hated getting his paws wet! I was pushed into the puddles by him sometimes if he was on the lead 'cos he'd be so determined not to get his feet in the puddle! The first time we took him to the beach he ran down to the sea - 'cos all the other dogs were doing it and it obviously looked like the thing to do! Then he was so funny when he realised that the sea was actually *water* - he looked like a cartoon dog, back pedalling madly!

Ah bless 'em! Buster was a rescue dog, so we're not sure quite what mix he was! For a long time we thought he was a bearded collie crossed with something because of his long coat and size, but then we met a lady on a walk one day who bred tibetan terriers and she said he was def a tibetan terrier cross because of the type of hair his coat was, and his muzzle shape. He's been gone 9 years now - still miss him!
