Day 73: K-n-a-c-k-e-r-e-d

I was knackered when I woke up this morning and now even more knackered having finished my workout. I think the bicycle is going to kill me. Elevated tricep dips are hurting my previously dislocated shoulder which has been giving me a dull ache for weeks now.

Back to virtual skipping too. Didn't start working out (& skipping) until 5pm yesterday and the skipping was great, as Bruce said it would be. This morning, in extreme state of tiredness, I just couldn't get my feet over the rope, so old Rocky moves back in play. Very funny to watch mind you.

One of the reasons for the tiredness is lack of sleep. My husband is back in Tokyo and the open living in Bali makes me nervous as the kids are in one room and I didn't want to lock them in in case they needed the bathroom or had a nightmare in the middle of the night. So I startled at every single noise and hardly slept. The frogs jumping around the living room must have thought "who is this mad woman?" every time I opened my door to check a noise. I think I may sleep on the floor of their room tonight for my own sanity.

Off to the Bali Safari & Marine Park today. Will take my rope to see if I can actually do any jumps and maybe get in my extra 30 min of cardio whilst the kids frolic in the pool.

  1. You have frogs in your living room?

    I have this image of your virtual skipping Rocky moves and they make me giggle.

  2. Yes, I share the toilet with frogs which hop into the living room via the "open" garden and thence into bathroom too. We had a wee Mickey Mouse running around too but luckily I never saw that. Fraser managed to swipe it into the pond in the garden (more like courtyard).

    Rocky moves are pretty spectacular as I also have to talk to myself during the entire process in order to keep moving. So keep giggling.

    Walking around the Safari Park was more cardio than I bargained for and there was no opportunity to get out my rope.

  3. I totally put the rope down and just hop around sometimes. I think I actually might get a better workout because I jump from side to side and do scissor kicks and stuff. I say keep up with the Rocky moves if they make you giggle because then you're getting an ab work out too!
