Well what a hectic day that was!

Up and out by 7.20am to drop the small people at the childminders – it was their last day there as things are changing!

Then on to work finishing there at 5pm – meant to finish at 3.30pm, but it’s my last two days there and then I’m taking on the worst paid job in the world, terrible hours and no sick pay or pension scheme – I’m going to be a stay at home mum for a while!!! Hehee!!! Best job in the world!!! Also going to be doing an Open University degrees in Computing & IT which I’m hoping will keep me employable when I return to work, anyway I’ve got sidetracked!

Straight from work to collect the kiddies again, home with them – put a programme on they like whilst I grab a quick shower! Hubby gets in – I head out round 7pm to attend choir! Finish choir at 9pm – head home with a quick pit stop at my mum and dads to pick some bits up I’d left there.

Got in and baked some goodies to take in for my last day at work – made chocolate brownies and oat cookies! The oats cookies are wheat free, contain no egg and can be dairy free – though I was a bit naughty and swapped the raisins for chocolate chips!!! They’re rather tasty I have to say and no additionally added sugar! The sweetness comes from the apple sauce and the banana! Highly recommend!

While the cookies cooked I managed to fit in 25 mins on the Wii Fit! Yay! I was scared I’d have to say I’d slacked off but fortunately this isn’t the case! Got it in just before midnight so counts for day 21!!!

Now for some sleep….

A little more Wii time

Just short and to the point blog on day 11 of Janathon!

I’ve had an amazing day celebrating my cousin’s 30th wedding anniversary with lots of extended family – really was lovely, even though daddy had to stay home with the Blue One as his Chicken Pox are still at the contagious stage, the Pink One and I got to go but came home quite late for a night before school and so the Wii came to the rescue again and for the 11th consecutive day I’ve managed to do some exercise!!! A whole 35 minutes – mainly thanks to Super Advanced Rhythmic Boxing!!!

Aerobic Exercise
Super Hula Hoop
Rhythmic Boxing Advanced
Rhythmic Boxing Super Advanced

Balance Games
Skiing

Training Plus
Rhythmic Kung Fu

I’m thinking of finding my skipping rope – but my hope for Janathon day 12 is a longer run in preparation for my first timed 10km on Saturday and not trigger my Runner’s tum…

I’m also thinking of writing some non Janathon based blogs, shocking I know, whilst I have this amazing increased traffic to my blog – but need to get organised, so will see if this transpires!!!

Day 10 and a Wii bit more exercise!

jogonmum2 Comments

After a rather trying night with chicken pox boy (he didn’t go to sleep until about 3am – after a lot of wailing) I wasn’t very motivated to do much exercise, so I timed my manic walk up and down Bexleyheath High Steet.

I finished an appointment I had at 11am and had 56 minutes of time left to visit all the shops I needed – The Card Factory, Boots and H&M!

I was quite surprised with the distance that I covered!

Walking up and down Bexleyheath High Street!

I also recorded the amount of distance I covered walking around the supermarket – in this case Morrisons, doing ‘the Big Shop’ – but I unfortunately forgot to stop MapMyWalk running when I finished, and so it includes my drive home! Doh!!!

It's not call 'The Big Shop' for nothing!

Needs to be less 3.22km and 10 minutes off the time – so again, I covered 1.43km just doing the weekly shop, so not at a great pace, but still further than you’d think! (Well further than I was expecting)

Who knew
Who knew

 

Then for good measure I did some exercise on the Wii! So Wii Fit Plus !

Aerobic Exercise
Super Hula Hoop
Advance Step Aerobics (I’m not very good at that! My timing is appalling!)
Rhythmic Boxing Advanced

Balance Games
Ski Jump
Penguin Jump

Training Plus
Rhythmic Kung Fu

Feeling rather tired now, can’t imagine why!?! Haha!!!

Until Day 11 – cheerio!!!

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...
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!!!

Janathon Day 7 contribution in no particular order…

Muscle Workout
Single leg extension – 6 reps per leg
Torso & Waist Twists – 3 reps
Lunge – 10 reps per leg

Yoga
Warrior Pose
Sun Salutation

Aerobic Exercise
Hula Hoop – 3 plays

So dignified!!!

Nearly lost my Hula Hoops

Super Hula Hoop – 2 plays (8 minutes total)

Super Hula Hoop
Super Hula Hoop

The Basics – 1 play
Jogging – 1 play

Balance Games
Ski Jump – 2 plays
Heading (football) – 1 play

Total Time

Found some of it quite a challenge but strangely enjoyable – got a run lined up for tomorrow but think I might be able to sneak a bit of Wii Fit in as well, don’t want that layer of dust building up again!!!
