Hi again,
I haven't posted in a few days as I haven't really had anything to say - I still don't but I thought I'd write something anyway!
We are sat in the office (at home) watching Chris Moyles doing his 'longest ever radio show' it is being shown online and if you press the red button on the tv...whatever - we have it on the TV...and we keep wanting to turn it off and watch something else - but its quite addictive. I love Chris Moyles...I know some people hate him - but not me!
So, I have been cycling to work and back and going to the gym in the evening and basically I think I burnt out. I sat here last night aching and hurting everywhere and decided that there was no way I was going to cycle to work today. I drove in, just about found a parking space and at the end of the day, I left work at about 5.02pm and I was home by 5.16pm!! That is sooo cool!! Don't think I have ever worked so close to home - I'm loving it!
I have tomorrow off work - then I am in for 5 long days and then I have 15 days off!! woo hoo!
Lissa came to the gym with me tonight. We did a 5 minute warm up on the cross trainer, then 20 minutes on the treadmill (2 minute comfortable run and one minute sprint (keep repeating) and it ends up just under 2 miles) Lissa did really well - slightly better than me actually...then we did 500 metres on the rower, followed by various weights and core exercises. Just over an hour and 485 calories (according to my heart rate monitor) followed by a short spell in the steam room and a lovely hot shower!
Because Lissa is not used to it - I bet she will be in agony tomorrow! Whereas I'm sat here all achy but I'll be fine tomorrow - which is a good job as I have a PT session tomorrow afternoon - and I will probably go back again in the evening with Andy!! I might give myself Friday off (although I'll be back to cycling to work!) I really should have an amazing body! (I definitely don't however).
I have drawn up a rota for the twins so that they do proper jobs in the house - as they cost me so much money and have so much more spare time than we do. I must admit it was really good coming home to swept floors, and a clean kitchen...if they keep it up it should make such a difference to us and I will be much more likely to help them out when they need money or favours and...stuff, rather than just feeling annoyed about working and slaving after everybody!
I still haven't made a decision about what I am going to do for my birthday - I keep making enquiries with different places but I'm scared to commit!! I end up full of doubts...should I do it? can I afford it? will it be okay? will people come? is the venue okay? would the food be okay?expensive? will people have somewhere to stay or be able to get home okay? would the music/disco be okay and will Andrew be okay doing it? can I get everyone there okay? However, I need to make a decision soon!! Maybe tomorrow I will make a decision!
anyway - I am gonna turn Chris Moyles off for a while and watch something before I go to bed...living life in the fast lane as usual!!
Goodnight!!
