My kind of morning Urmstongran.

I am so lazy. I’ve been sat here on the sofa since 8am, on the iPad and reading. The only time I stood up was to make fried bacon barms and coffee at 10am. Oh dear.

Our local leisure centre is offering 10 days unlimited membership for £10 this weekend so I went and signed up. Got in the pool and did 20 lengths. It'll be a while before I'm back to knocking off a couple of k but at least it's a start. And the very sweet girl on reception asked me if I wanted to book a free gym induction - bless her, I declined grin

I haven’t put on weight , ?

Yep! Back on my feet after a back injury. Today walked dogs for about 30 minutes. It’s amazing how easy it is to put weight on when you are incapacitated....2lbs in a month.

That’s coming off now no arguement.

I really need to get two cans of soup out of the cupboard. I use them because I haven't got any dumbbells! My left shoulder is stiff and sore when performing certain movements e.g. opening the upper window in the utility room to put the dryer hose through. Lots of strengthening exercises needed I think.
I walk regularly, so am okay on that front.

Tanith I usually walk with my best friend but she's away so I just plan a route and get going.

To prevent boredom I just make a note of the surroundings and convince myself that with every stride am getting even more gorgeous and taut! grin

Every little bit helps Annie - I know you don't have to worry about weight but it's doing your joints a favour!

I was up and out grocery shopping at 8am, I have to run my daughter to Dunelm then I intend on having a walk I wish I could do 90 mins but I get so bored walking alone. It will probably be 45 mins better than nothing ?

I am, 4 ft down the front garden path and 4 ft back, 8 ft walk ?

It's an overcast but mild day in London and earlier I virtuously took my wobbly bits on a 90 minute brisk walk.

I'm hoping not to be too slobby for the rest of the day!

Anyone else planning to get their bum in gear?
