Walking with the Pink One

A very short post tonight about my ‘exercise’ for Juneathon Day 7, need to crack on with some more OU studies, so today I did some short walks to take my daughter to a birthday party and back.  All in all, covering almost 4.5km, but adding all the time up, it over an hour – it’s quite funny comparing the speed of my walk back to collect her (average pace of 9:21mins/km) to length of time it took to walk back home again with the small Pink One in tow (average pace of 17.30mins/km) – but walking is walking and it was a beautiful day and lovely to be going along chatting and holding hands with my Pink One! I probably don’t do it often enough!

It's a beautiful day...

In between walking to and fro for my daughter, I baked some Gluten and Dairy free banana loaves, which are now in the freezer, ready for my daughter’s school fete on Saturday! I did make three – but one of them was a complete disaster for no apparent reason so didn’t make the cut!!!  This did involve a considerable amount of standing up and mixing – so must contribute to my exercise somehow!?!

I also did seven toe touches, seven sit and reaches and seven sit ups/tummy crunches!

Hope everyone else had a good Juneathon Day 7 and a lovely weekend!

I’ve aged 3 years!!!

Well today I dusted off the Wii Balance Board, no seriously I did, the layer of dust on it was gross – but once cleaned and new batteries installed we were ready to go!

I registered on Wii Fit – height, weight, date of birth etc and then I did the Wii Fit Age test and it had me at 3 years older than my current again, which in the grand scheme of things isn’t so bad and I can live with that (for now)!!!

I forgot how much fun the Wii is and how addictive – did quite a workout this evening – totally 32 minutes – and don’t worry embarrassing evidential videos of some of the Hula Hooping are below for your viewing pleasure!!!
