Best laid plans of mice and mummys!

Well the plan for Janathon Day 8 was to go on a nice evening run with my lovely friends Deputy Helen and Kay – but this was thwarted by the blue one having chicken pox!

His sister had it two weeks ago and this Tuesday – exactly 14 days after the Pink One came out in the spots the Blue One did. The Pink One was rather lucky and didn’t suffer too badly, she had enough spots to know she’d had chicken pox but she wasn’t covered – the Blue One is another story entirely!

He’s being very good with it, but I was at work today and so he was with his nanny and grandad all day (who he adores) and when he came home was rather forlorn and crying, and telling me he doesn’t feel well – so I knew going out for a run was out of the window! We will attempt to try again tomorrow!

So grateful for the Wii – least I was still able to do some exercise (and on Wii Fit Plus my Wii age was 25 – rather chuffed with that)! Though since using it, parts of me are aching that I didn’t know could ache! Cuddling my hot water bottle this evening to sooth my poor body – I need to get back to running, never ached like this after a good run and my first 10km race is rapidly looming!!! Argh!!!

Want to be wearing these again...

Tonight I did the following…
Wii Fit & Wii Fit Plus

Yoga
Half-moon pose
Tree pose

Muscle workout
Single leg twist

Aerobic
Super Hula Hoop
Rhythmic Boxing

Balance Games
Ski Jump
Heading (football)

Total time – 32 mins

No videos to amuse you this evening I’m afraid! I’m currently typing this in bed with my pox covered little boy next to me watching Peppa Pig – it’s 11pm, this doesn’t bode well – this is a little boy who is normally asleep by 7.30pm! Oh well – this is just one of those things you have to deal with when you have the absolute honour of being someone’s mummy!

I bid you all goodnight – hopefully mine will feature some sleep…

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!!!
