The details of our non-gym workout you can see on Tracey's blog. She has the most adorable little boy who despite having a fever was absolutely amazing and so very adorable. A mini-Tracey. I got quite a few cuddles and distracting him whilst doing the bicycles made it the most pleasant bicycles that I have ever done. Looking at a little baby climbing up the stairs waving a piece of cloth whilst you do your reps makes it all the more easy as you forget that you are doing reps--sort of. Tricep dips felled me long before Tracey. It was amazing to see Tracey in action. Very, very admiring fan you have here.
Thank you so much for a lovely lunch, a fabulous chat, wonderful company and a workout that really was a lot easier for being shared.
Because of the rain, our change in schedule and therefore no chance to use the outside pool, I am not sure that a marathon run through a home centre, IKEA and Costco suffices as extra cardio. It felt like it thugh. Only just completed my skips followed swiftly by 8MA. Could just as easily have not done the skipping but felt it crucial that I stick to my plan of really rocking for the rest of the programme. Am visualising sleek abs. Am beginning to believe that with time I can achieve this.
Do however need a lot more practice at emptying my mind whilst skipping had to keep correcting tendency to think about things, look at the ground, not look in the distance, wish I wasn't there etc., etc. However as I just realised, I feel SOOOOOO much better for having skipped, for having tripped just a little less, for increasing marginally my number of rotations. It does of course help that the temperature in Tokyo has dropped by between 10-15 degrees since yesterday. In fact it dropped 10 degrees between leaving home and meeting Tracey (and no, she does not live on a high mountain).
