Spent the day with the extended family which was lovely, but we are now coming up to our dinner appointment and I thought I could at least squeeze in my skipping. No chance. Since it takes me 20-25 minutes won't make it, so it will all have to come after dinner.
However, having read Patrick's Day 39 missive a bit worried about getting maximum fat burn as I have lots of fat, so tomorrow morning before I do anything I will be skipping away. I have to get my head around separating the skipping from the workout as I have been very adamant in my own mind that they must go together. But if that is how I will burn fat, then that is what I will do. I do find however that I am very, very stiff in the morning, but that may have a lot to do with the fact that I am doing all the skipping and workout in the evening or maybe I just need to get going and JFD. If I jig it around I might also get in some 8MA.
So the bad news... not yet done any of the Day 39 exercises yet and it will weigh over me whilst eating dinner out at a lovely country house hotel...... think I should just relax and enjoy it and then make this my last late night workout.
But the good news is that it is liberating skipping down Scottish country roads. Only met one tractor and 2 cars yesterday. Beautiful smell of the woods and the ferns and the honeysuckle growing wild. Bad thing is the midges.... little mosquito like things with a very painful bite. But we are at the foot of the Highlands, so it is light until 11pm and I will still get some of the same tonight. This was the first time the skipping wasn't mentally painful. Lots of stop starts, but the enjoyment of looking at the view made it all worth it. Not good at skipping with a camera Tracey, but will try to take some photos. Sad thing is we are only here 4 days before we go back to urban life in Scotland, but there are still lots of benefits.... the temperature being the main thing.
Today I was all over the place with my time management today as well. I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI too really want to do my skipping in the morning. I am going to try this week but I always find it really hard to find the time as well as the motivation early in the morning. But I might take your idea of changing locations - this might work well for my mental attitude toward the skipping.
Ask hubby to take some photos of you skipping in the highlands.
Mmmmmm will need to get him up off the sofa. He is traumatised by "crap" weather. But, does tell me "good job" when I've been out in it skipping. Emotional coercion tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAt least he is supportive. My Hubbilicious is brilliant. He looks after the baby when he is around so I can focus on the workout. He takes my photos and gives me lots of encouragement.
ReplyDeleteBTW he is super fit with a hot body as he rides his bike to work every day.
