I'd forgotten how good it is to do an old fashioned aerobics class! I stayed for about 3/4 of it cos common sense prevailed in the form of 'don't injure yourself anymore!!' . It was fun while it lasted and no lasting after effects either!

I've decided this has been one of the best school holidays that I've had! Working in that office has meant that I haven't had two weeks in which to do all the school work I need to do. Friday and saturday I put head down and bum up and really got stuck into it and lo and behold!!! I've just about done everything! So......now I can enjoy the next couple of days finishing off the filing stuff and then we ( husband and I) are heading northward a bit ( 3 nights worth) and having a bit of luxury staying somewhere and just getting away from everything. Then it's back for a 12 week stint and then I'm FINISHED!! for good!!! How great does that feel??

Ran again today (6kms) and ooooohhh a bit sore afterwards but still walking and talking so I must be ok. Had a bit of a 'shop' after that. Working in an office is an expensive business! Track pants or jeans just don't cut it with the office environment! Bought a couple of tops to go with my half decent black pants. I wore high heeled boots on Wed and Thurs and oh the joy of getting out of them and putting on the runners!! Such joy! Such bliss!!!

I went to gym Wednesday evening with my daughter and did a walk and some weights. It's been a while since I've done that! It was great to be back but I took it carefully. Went to a yoga class after that with Catherine ( daughter) and Mel (daughter in law) that was lovely and relaxing. I'm paying for it today though- quite stiff and sore. It doesn;t take long to get creaky bits it seems!
I'm really enjoying the filing but a day off today was extra great! It also gave me a chance to do some school prep. With last term looming the work load increases. All that stuff I should have done in term 1 won't wait anymore!

Right!! back on track now- ran this morning - without having to hold my side or lean frantically to one side. The lungs did lurch about a bit though- I think they are out of practice. Anyway I now can exercise a bit more normally so that is good. Now- although it's holidays for me I am actually going to work as a filing girl tomorrow and the next day etc etc etc. Can't wait- I love doing different things.

well I'm on holidays now and it's a time of reckoning I reckon! I'm going to plan my meals and exercise a week at a time. I think I need to find some low fat sweet snacks cos that is my downfall. I don't like eating big meals but rather snack throughout the day. That's fine but not if what I'm snacking on is chocolate and biscuits!. I've made a 'diary' for the school fitness people for next term so I'm planning on trying it out on myself over the next two weeks. it just is a record of what is eaten and exercise done.

Went to dr today and got results back- fractured rib and chest infection. Guess I have to be a bit careful here. On the good side- he did say that mild exercise was good as it would make me take deeper breaths. At least that's what I think he said or wanted him to say perhaps! Went to gym last night and walked on treadmill for 25mins but not at usual speed. Guess something is better than nothing. One more sleep till the holidays- yipeeeee!!

I seem to be having problems with this blog tonight- so not sure if this will get published or not. Found that I have a fractured rib which accounts for the pain. Looks like my exercise will have to take a rest for a while:(((

Well at least I know what is going on! Had the x-rays and bone scan and it looks like a fractured rib! The x-rays came back clear but the dr said the bone scan showed a fracture. I guess I'm glad it's something like that cos that at least will heal. I have to be careful for a number of weeks so I think I'll be restricted to just slowish walking. I think I'd better make a supreme effort with my diet. The school holidays are a week away so that is good- at least I get the chance to rest a bit. damn!!!!

well- it's Friday and I've done NOTHING except sit on my fat backside all week and eat!! Well not literally but I haven;t done any exercise to speak of. The pain in my rib has been really awful and even normal breathing is an effort and painful. My mother in law is in hospital with pneumonia so that has meant we haven't got home til about 8.30 each night. On Thursday I was called up for jury selection- had a wonderful day! Sat and waited- did the cross word, read, drank tea and finished off some jigsaw puzzles. I think I might offer myself as a professional jury selectee!!! However all that doesn't help me get any fitter or flatter! Tomorrow I'm walking so maybe this will be a new more successful and disciplined week for me.

I seem to spend more of my time trying to fix up all these body parts than I do in making them fit and healthy! Went to physio on Friday and again today. Feeling quite a lot better but then I did hit the neurofen too and that appears to be a bit of a wonder drug! One of the main problems with taking it is that I safe guard my stomach by eating chocolate. This does seem to help the stomach ache factor but also seems to help the fat factor too! I've got lots of stretches and stuff to do. I guess I need to concentrate on getting all my bits fixed before I put them under pressure.
Had a good/bad day yesterday. In the morning went to my mum and dads unit with my sisters to sort more things out. That was rather sad. Then baby sat our two lovely granddaughters for a couple of hours. That was the good part.
