What to do instead of blogging

1.  Work Out.

As I think I said before I have actually put on about a stone from being on our travels.  And there comes a time in everyone's life when they need to admit they're getting older. I'm 36 this year, it's quite old, and the older you get the more muscle you lose so I've decide to work on that. Which leads me to my second thing you do when you're not blogging.

2. Buy cheap sports gear from amazon.

Besides the expense I have no intention of going to the gym in January. Ever. In fact it's not something I would recommend to anyone. It's not a good gym experience. I'm not opposed to joining the gym myself and I have actually missed going to the gym seeing people work out.  But don't go in January,  go in February since that's when anybody it's been a fad for has jacked it in.

3. Buy cheap sports clothing from Primark!

£3.50 for a sports bra thank you very much! 8 quid for running tights yes please! The same for a purple fleecy and  cosy hoodie don't mind if i do!  OK, the sports bra is it going to hold you secure but for something to wear under your proper sports bar that you paid 50 quid for, so doesn't get quite as sweaty, so you don't need to wash it quite so often - or perhaps that's just me -  saves on wear and tear of your over the shoulder boulder holder.

The general plan is I'm going to do some basic weight training until the end of January, and we've got the Etape Caledonia and the Etap Loch Ness coming up but I really haven't sorted out any dates for that as well as some idea of a program.  I'm not going to plan out anything too stringent as anything i do plan out will be fairly loose and changeable, since I can't stick to any sort of regimen at the moment.

I'm also doing this on the blogger app on my android phone using the microphone speech thing.  I hope it makes it easier to get pictures from my phone onto my blog pages as that's where I normally keep my photos for the Blog.  I am actually doing this in the house and it would be a lot easier on my computer but maybe good for out and about.  Though I do think my sentences are a little stifled. What do you guys think? Can you tell?

I have Of Course Signed up For Etape Caledonia 2015...

again.

The gids shall be venturing out with me, but my lack of exercise fits in with my lack of posts and any discussion about that massive trip I had.  I have also (shocker) put on a STONE.  I'm 11 stone people,  (5ft) and the weird thing is I don't 'look' any fatter.  I've only done a little running and hardly any cycling so I'm fairly sure it's not muscle.

The good news is I've found my chest strap for my garmin.  The bad news is I don't even know if that works anymore.  More good news is that I started a body weight programe, (much like insanity, but also nothing like insanity), the bad news is after starting it yesterday I'm struggling to raise my hands over my head.

In more bad news I'm supposed to do a bit today.  The good news is I'm really not going to.

Anyway. I think I have to have a go at another challenge.  I'm going to get my ducks in a row today then start tomorrow I think.

1.  Do some form of exercise every day.  I'm going to be fairly light on this one.  I'll aim to do the programme but it's a weights based programme and I've not done any weights since ever.

2. Post about it.

3.  I've not done a turbo session in quite a while so I'll get that set up.  Garry Garmin and all, and do my warm up on that.

I'll wear the garmin and post my results.
