Keeping fit, staying strong

[droverjess]

Am ok thanks. Few bruises, mainly softish landing with one fairly large rock that made the biggest bruise.
I will be still next time JD don't worry. Next time I need my iPad to tell me which is which. They were very bright.

Almost 10k steps today and lots of vacuuming of sawdust, 2 hours in fact!

[obbie]

How are you going Jess.

[droverjess]

Thanks for asking.last few days 1200 to 1300 steps and that's just around the house mainly with dog walks added in, but not long ones as couldn't leave the crew.
Am very tired, a cumulative tiredness.

 Be ok

Jess, you are one awesome lady.

I so admire all the work you are doing, renovating the house, looking after DH, and dogs.

trying to renovate, keep it all together. Cant wait for photos of the finished project.

DJ, Hope the bruises are fading,  please take it easy.   

[droverjess]

Thanks Emme and Obbie! am not awesome at all, just trying to settle and make a home, isn't that what most women do?

Am resting on my bed just now with a heater on to add a little comfort. Room is better with new window, warmer less draughts.

DD just leaving for the week at Uni?
 DH gone to test some equipment.

Have no tv and have not sorted living room as new window goes in there Monday. Not worth effort to do it twice. DH away tomorrow overnight for work so I don't need do any food and can have boiled eggs for me.
Going to try a new dog trainer on 22 nd. Need a varied approach I think.
Cheers

Last few days well over 10k steps.
13800 today!

[Wonder]

Well done DJ, you are keeping everything together amazingly well.

[obbie]

Great DJ

[droverjess]

Still lots of steps, almost 12k today.
Have started using polyfilla, in preparation for painting.

Once the painting starts DJ, the place will come to life - it's amazing how your dream is taking shape.

Thanks Judy, we still have no heating, and have been very lucky with the mild weather.

Didn't manage so well with my steps the last two weeks with the kids on Holidays. Particularly as I've started a German course (3 hours a day, 5 days a week), I'm aiming to get back up to 10k a day. Weight has been largely stable (not really up or down) these last few weeks.

[droverjess]

Good luck with the German ......
All my steps have had no effect on weight, I just feel fitter.

Well, I joined the gym last week!! 

DH decided to give up his membership as summer is coming and the upgraded pool around the corner from us is due to open next month.  So I've taken it on instead. 

Not helpful that now DS has come out with chicken pox so I am stuck at home!!  But in the longer term it should be good.  It's right by our office (literally 3 doors down the road) so not out of my way.  I've been a couple of times already, and mainly used the cardio machines - haven't had my official "orientation" yet where they show me all the weights machines etc - I was a gym member elsewhere back before having kids, so not totally unfamiliar, but could use a run-through on using them.

I haven't found I've lost weight either.  I think I need to improve the diet side more if I want to see much happen there.  Very glad summer is coming as I enjoy salads and BBQ meats.
