EXERCISE IS EXHAUSTING
Hi everyone,
Had a wonderful but exhausting weekend. On Sat after completing my time trial E had tennis. (which she won)We then went shopping for scrap book supplies. Home to lots of housework and helping E with schoolwork. Then off to dinner. The restaurant had lost power so the cooks were cooking by candle light on gas stoves. No air con working and just dim lights. The meal was delicious and they gave me half my main to take home in a doggy bag! Had to leave room for the incredible banana caramel crepes. Note the dessert was a fruit option so very few points.(I wish)
On Sunday got up at 6am to start cleaning out the garage as we have hard rubbish collection next week. Then when Dh got up at 8am we started the tip runs. 2 weeks ago we had severe storms and as a result had many trees down. These needed to be chopped and dragged to the tip. One of them was 30 ft high!! This one has been chopped partly down now so it cannot fall on the neighbours fence but we will have to finish it another day. We squeezed in a session at the gym. I really didn't want to go but needed to encourage Dh so off we went. After more tip runs, more helping E with school work and then tried to get an early night.
This morning up at 5am to go to kickboxing where I discovered I have a sore hamstring and a very sore back. Shouldn't lift logs that are bigger than me!!! AT least it meant the trainer let me do less running! Grabbed some groceries on the way home then spoilt my kids with a cooked breakfast. After the school run went and had a tennis lesson..My hammy is not as sore now so hope I did some good and not damage to it. The back on the other hand is not great. Tonight I have promised to go with the men in the family to boxing. I have to go because I am trying to get them into exercise. If I don't they will pike out as well.
So here I go again madly committing to over exercising.. I am very motivated at the moment. Firstly because next Sat I am going to Sydney for the bloggers meet. I need to lose a bit to be able to wear sz 12 pants. Such vanity!!! Secondly I am determined to complete the fun run in April and so need to get as fit as possible. Also I always seem to be an all or nothing person with exercise and have had my "nothing " periods over the past two months so now is my "all" period. Lets hope it lasts a long while.
