Keeping fit, staying strong

[droverjess]

Well I don't mind losing a pound or two of flesh in the process.... Another pound or two per hour would make the puppy lark more bearable. But that won't happen.

[Amy :-)]

Wow DJ, a puppy as well as kids! You must be superwoman

I went for a walk with mum last night. We saw a frog on the footpath so mum gave it a little nudge so it would hop away from the road. It was very cute

I hope you  are having more luck with your puppy than I am with mine DJ - he's driving me insane, he just doesn't stop wanting to be with us every minute and throwing something for him to catch or play tug of war. I've lost track of the work calls where I've had to apologise for the barking dog!!

Went to the gym last night and might fit in a walk with the dogs tonight, early work call tomorrow and dinner for DD tomorrow night so don't think I'll get there again until Saturday.

Did a bit of walking today, but nothing really out of the ordinary - walk to school, walk to cafe, walk around shopping centre etc. I guess it all adds up!

Bumping this up with an update to see how everyone is doing?

Managed some half hour brisk walks this week before work. Very active at work too so am probably getting more exercise than when started this thread.

Need to get going now too.

How are you all getting on?

[Amy :-)]

Great idea bumping this DJ. Sounds like you're well on track

I walked 6km yesterday morning and the flies were so bad I swear I'm not doing it again. I'm going to start swimming again instead

Good idea Amy cause flys cant swim

I've managed to walk 4 out of 5 mornings this week. Somehow I managed to miss my neighbour this morning, we usually end up doing a few laps of the oval at the end of the walk. Apparently, she arrived at the oval just after I left I had been chatting to someone walking his dog, and he told her that she'd just missed me!

I'm managing exercise 5 or 5 times a week, feeling good in the lead up to Christmas just need to keep it up.

LOL That was my thought as well Mandi

[droverjess]

Eugh flies! Horrid.

A fair walk yesterday with DH. Booked dog walk with neighbour on weds am.

[Amy :-)]

So how is everyone going over the silly season? Finding time for exercise?
I've been swimming most nights, and trying to be generally more active during the day

Good luck to everyone over Christmas and New Year

[droverjess]

Apart from my driving duties I am on my feet all day long 10 hour shifts in a huge house, plus puppy runs so no time or energy for other exercise. It must count!

See what scales say on Friday before the fudge season starts. LOL

[obbie]

No time here.

swimming next week though

[Amy :-)]

I heard someone say something the other day which is very true....

"So many people worry about what they eat between Christmas and New Year, when they should really worry about what they eat between New Year and Christmas."

I thought it was really good
