It's been a while!

Hello blog readers.
Its me again!

So Two weeks worth of exercising and running shoved into one!  Lets see if I can do it!

Well, I have been prancing around in my sitting room doing my exercises in my sitting room! Mainly it's been Team Body Project!  I just love those guys!  I have joined the facebook group and actually joined on the members portal on the web too!  I've not done too much with the web page as yet, but I will get around to it soon.  I'm just having fun(?) doing the workouts from youtube and going live with it!  Janice is still with me and now Tracy is working out with me too!  My sisters both seem to be working now! Darn it!  

I have also been working out on the green with the neighbours and friends too!  That's been a lot of fun, dodging the rain, I think I have only canceled twice because of the the rain. So I am really pleased about that.  Fiona from the close is loving it, and Dawn opposite me is enjoying it too! There has been a couple of friends that are not neighbours that have come along too! I am loving it!  We are all just working out together trying to keep as fit and as active as we can. I think if we just keep on working and moving then we can get through this COVID and come out the other side not as thick around the middle as we thought we would!

I did Adele Murrell class as well!  I am sure I am doing better at her classes, it seems like I am getting up and down from the mat a bit quicker than the first time I did her class!  I shall have to go and have a look at my videos (a great suggestion from Janice)  which is a blimmin great idea actually!  After all, the proof is actually seeing the difference.  My weight hasn't blimmin shifted at all! Not one flaming ounce!  But my clothes still fit!  Well, my black trousers don't or my black dress that I needed!  By my stretchy jeans all fit!   Also someone said that I have a waist again!  Which is good!  I knew it was in there some where,  so I took these pictures from my workout videos, what do you think, is there a slightly less thickening around the middle? Let me know in a postcard! Oh my goodness, I am showing my age now!

Jordan Burns workout was another one I did.  I have sent him my email address and I am going to try and do one of his HIIT classes via zoom!  I am not sure how I will do with that!  It'll be interesting!  But I think I am looking forward to it!  We shall see!

My running clubs fitness in the Rec is still going strong.  Although we have had a couple of wet offerings, we still kept going!  Groups of 6 doing running exercises and core exercises.  There four groups in Willet Rec and there are a few more groups in Eynsford Park.  It looks like it's all working well.  I have been taking my.....ooops my hubbys speaker along, we do our core exercises to music.  It seems to hurt less and feels like we are on a night out!

Oh, yes, of course.  I went running too!  I went running just this Saturday gone.  I am doing 'Jeffing' to get me around, staying focused on the whole timed running bits.  I am running 1 minute, walking 1 minute, Jeff Galloways style of running.  Anything to look for that darn mojo of mine that seems to have gone into total isolation!  The discipline of counting the seconds on each minute, making sure that I run every second of the minute, and making sure that I don't blend my walking seconds into my running seconds is doing me good I think.  I am going to up my running to 90 seconds running 60 seconds walking. probably after I come back from my holiday!  I am totally aching after my running, which means that I must be working all sorts of other muscles while running than I am when I am doing the workouts!  Strange.  

Not too bad a blog, a short one considering I have been working out 6 days a week, for the last 2 weeks, sometimes two or three times a day!  I'm impressed with me! Just for the sheer staying power, sticking with the whole of the workouts every day!  That's only because I'm working out with my mates on line!  Thanks ladies!  You don't know how much you help me to stay focused! 

I just got to get myself back on that bike and I shall be all hunky dory again!

Some comparison photos.  Hmm, is there a difference?
