Scotsmists Take on Life!!!!!! And everything else :-)

[kered]

Good luck with RC Classes Iris, its nice to be able to attend these meetings with a friend for support.

Oooh lazy Queenie huh, give her a kick up the wotsit and tell her to get her lazy little butt on the move........seriously though, hope the blow torching works and you can soon get lots of activity going on.

 

[MiniB]

Don't worry about weighing at the classes Iris, you never know, it might be what you need to get you back on track. I found when I did slimming world that knowing I had to weigh in front of someone made me stick to it more than if I just had to weigh at home.

Good luck and look forward to how you get on, on this.

 

[summergurl]

Hope you enjoy your RC class tonight sweet and hope your lip aint too fat :giggle:

 

[JanD]

Yes - hope you enjoyed the class ... let's know what it was like xx

 

[Scotsmist]

just a quickie as too much going on at work!

Brill class...boy, was the exercise really hard, but I enjoyed it so much and nothing ached either

So, I am in a very positive mind indeed. I even got up early today and did my exercises first thing and plan to go for a run/jog tonight!! I am contemplating the Couch to 5k Tanya? Have had a look at it, but I dont have an MP3, well I do, but it is knackered...I have one of those Nitendos that has an MP3 in it, where you can listen to music but it is too bulky, so I will just do the walk/jog, etc without music...

This is the plan, but the bees come tonight and WITH A HOSEPIPE BAN on the horizon Friday we need to fill up as much barrels as possible!! So, it is going to be a packed night and not sure if I will get on later!!

Will catch up again!

But, on the straight and narrow ;-)!!!

At long last, I hear you all shout

 

[kered]

Pleased for you Iris. Good luck on filling those barrels girl.

 

[MiniB]

Really glad you enjoyed the class Iris. Sounds as though you are enjoying this again.

Good luck with the water barrels!

 

[summergurl]

Welcome back aboard Iris! :giggle:

Have fun filling them barrels girl! x

 

[JanD]

It's obviously right for you Iris - you sound much more upbeat than you have for some time. I'm really pleased for you

Plenty of extra exercise filling those barrels xx

 

[Scotsmist]

Hi guys

Bee guy didnt turn up :-( No good...and I am more than annoyed! We waited till 9.20pm..Tunc was all suited up from 8.30 in anticipation....and no show. I had to force him to phone the guy and APPARENTLY he text Tunc to say he couldnt make it! MMMM...why not phone????? No text was received...so you can imagine what one is thinking!

Ah well, no point worrying as Tunc says. It is what it is and we wait till next week now. Stress wont change the situation. We walked round the allotment and cause he had his big gloves on I was feeding him! ;-) !! haha..it was quite funny, started with strawberries, then peas, then raspberries and then redcurrants!! I think he felt sick afterwards ;-)!!!

Havent filled the barrels yet, but today is D-Day!

going to Health Club today ;-)! Will start this couch to 5k! Didnt manage last night.

Enjoying being back in the right place now....

 

[MiniB]

You sound happy to be back in the right place too Iris! Very happy for you.

That bee guy sounds a nightmare, poor you. Hope you get it all sorted out soon.

Good luck starting your couch to 5k tonight, I'm sure you will be fine. Don't go overdoing it though, don't want to hurt your knee again!

Aww thats so disappointing when you are waiting for something, and it doesnt happen. He sounds like a right one, this bee guy, I think the farmer was right about him.

Good to hear you sounding so positive Iris, really pleased for you hun.

 

[summergurl]

Hmmm something fishy about that bee guy - what a prat! :giggle:

Good luck with couch to 5k Sweetie but go careful with your back and knee xxx

 

[JanD]

Yes you sound great Iris

Good move not to buy into stressing about the bee situation, it won't help a bit. If you can't change the situation, change the way you choose to react to it (not that you've heard me say that before - honest! )

Be careful with the running! I say this NOT as an exercisephobe but as someone who has suffered with their back!! .. It won't be too bad if you're doing it on a treadmill but outside the ground is very unforgiving and jars all your joints. I'll never forget when I DID run - I thought I was FAB coz I ran over a mile straight off the first time I got on the treadmill. So filled with confidence I went outside the next day and didn't get 200 yards LOL!!!
Still - I'm full of admiration for all you exercisers

Hope you've got the barrels filled and are feeling suitably good at having got through a tough patch into a much more comfortable place.

Proud of ya ***hugs*** xx

Thanks Tanya

You sound happy to be back in the right place too Iris! Very happy for you.

Thanks Bev!!!!

I know Jan; no point worrying, doesnt change how annoyed I am with him...like Tunc says, we have to just play along with him BUT will never deal with him again.

I worry about the running, oh and I wont run on the street for that reason with my leg especially. Unfortunately the right leg is going too, so I have to be very very careful.
I always know when I have had enough, I just get so frustrated as I loved running!!

Barrels filled

 

[Scotsmist]

Didnt get on last night, I was pooped!!!!
Got ALL 5 barrels filled..one is 1000 Ltrs and took a good few hours!! So a lot of weeding was being done whilst it was filling....not one for sitting around. Tunc wandered around the allotment though..haha....i

Well, we didnt actually stop till 9.30 last night so consequently didnt get to the gym so running, although with all the digging, etc I did, I know I lost a few calories....I found a 5k 8 wk program that I had forgotten about..it was set up for the Race for Life! So, I am going to try this one..for wk 1 I do 3 mins power walking, and then 5 mins walking, do this 3 times....this seems a bit better for me with my leg/back. Hope to get to the gym tonight, but beforehand got to do food shop, make fish pie.....and get to the gym by around 6pm!!! Tall order really

Doing well, Day 3.....only frustration is that I am not doing any aerobic exercise...I need to address this...the walking will be part of it, and I know I dont stop, but I need to burn the fat!!!

Suppose to be a heatwave up here this weeken!! WOOOPPPEEEE..I have got a guy from the amphibian and reptile society coming to see me tomorrow to give advice about this blooming allotment pond I have got to sort! He says the pond is a mess...so, looks like we have to start again !! I will try and post a pic and you will see what a nightmare I have on my hands, but got some experts in now, so rather pleased with myself!! Why do I get involved !! hahaha

Hope you are all having a great week! I cant believe it is Friday already and still not done all that I planned

There is always tomorrow ))))))

 

[MiniB]

I'm always amazed at how busy you are Iris! I just don't know how you do it all sometimes. All good for weight loss though.

Enjoy your heatwave weekend, I think we're going to be little dull down here over the weekend, great, but I do have weigh in tomorrow to look forward to!

 

[summergurl]

Wowser Iris, your allotment seems like a work out in itself! :giggle:

Enjoly that heatwave chick! xx

 

[kered]

Good luck with the pond Iris, hopefully you can get it sorted out.
Enjoy the heatwave, I hope we get it in Wales too.

You never cease to amaze me as to how busy you are, I am surprised you are not a size 0 with the amount of work you do in that allotment. The results must be fantastic though when you are eating all the fresh fruit and veggies.

Good luck with the exercising.

 

[JanD]

Yes - I get tired just reading about all you do Iris !

I hope you manage to get done all you want. We're supposed to be due a heatwave too though not sunshine. Showers apparently so I suppose it'll be rather muggy!

Have a great weekend xx
