Day 46: Rain and shine, out there puffing my puffs

No crying today, which is good. Despite hopping out of bed (a major improvement to having to stretch first before I even got out of bed yesterday) and going right at it, it did go a lot more smoothly today.

Too scared to watch Kevin's skipping video in case it demoralises me. Skipping still pants, and slow. Alternate legs 3x each to a tune of doodeedoodeedoo in my head. Got my iPod but no holder and my exercise shorts are too big to stick them into as they are starting to fall off. I can live with that though so tuneless singing will continue until I find m holder. Thigh muscles very sore in both pistol squats and squats, but at least I can do them (with some help for balance on the ps). Chest dips a joke. Have gone back to mm dips. As we all know though, these are not for mere women and I think I must prove that one. Dropped my whole body on the patio during one. For the first time ever I got through all the bicycle moves without having to wave my legs in the air to release the tension. But it hurts. Oh man it hurts, and that is good. On my way to achieving what I set out to do.

Trying to envisage what size I will be in 45 days yesterday was hard. Bikinis on sale for about 12 pounds sounded like a deal too good to miss. Especially when there is no way that I will ever find a bikini to fit in Tokyo. Will just have to see how it all pans out. They may never see the light of day. It was fun shopping though, and hoping.

BBQ today may be OK. It is spitting then sun. Glasgow can't make up its mind. May have to go to the chippy and get some fried Mars bars if it rains.

  1. The thought of a deep fried Mars bar has never appealed to me UNTIL PCP!! I'm starvin' today yet again. I have done some speculative shopping too - sale time would have been better in a months time!

  2. Fried Mars Bars? Crikey they sound like an instant artery clogging.

    But great work on the workout shorts. Mine are falling off too.

    For the ipod, try wearing a hat and putting the iPod inside it or fitted into the band. That might work. Or you can try putting it in your bra strap. That is what we do for hooping to keep the cords away from our arms.

    £12 for bikinis - at that price get 2 pair. One for Bali and then a smaller size for later.

    Watch Kevin's vid - he is good and it inspired me to give some other moves a go today and I am a dreadful skipper.

  3. Yummy, Deep fried Mars bars as I recall fried in lard they are! And washed down with a spot of deep fried Pizza. No wonder the Glasgegians are amongst the healthiest in the developed world....er...not

    Agree with Tracey on the video- I did the side to side today, not sure what I was actually doing but it felt good to jump and move my hips!
