Another fitness week! This is more for my own records and to put all of this together in one place, so you can feel free to just skip past this post.
Friday April 15th –
Todays workout was in two parts and was different to the normal. I did 1k treadmill, 10 mins elliptical, 1k treadmill, 10 mins elliptical, then 1k treadmill. There were also some floor exercises for abs. YAY. Above is part 1.
This is my personal best for a 1km since getting back into exercising. 8:06 – sorry my treadmill quite uncooperative, with the photography! Above you see todays first km..
And here is part 2. 552 calories burned total.

Todays 6.5km walk brought to you by the Volkswagen Polo, plus Psycho Killer by Talking Heads which was the last song that played in the car before we got out, and thus, played in my head the entire 77 or so minutes.
Plus, I took a couple of pics, for you. Cloudy day, warm-ish, excellent for walking. YAY CLOUDS!
Sunday April 17th –
Todays workout brought to you by The Village People, specifically U can’t stop the music – Queen, specifically Don’t stop me now – plus my chicken Rosie who decided this music meant she should make a run for it into an offlimits area! This was a super tough workout involving circuits between the elliptical and the treadmill.
Monday April 18th –
Todays “rest day” slow walk brought to you by episodes 18 and 19 of The Good Wife which I am hate watching now, and Skye from Tinykittens, I am watching and waiting for her kittens to arrive. I got on again for another 16 minutes later, just to get some extra steps in and watch the last of episode 19.

I don’t know why my iPhone hates me. Every time I think I will walk a little slower, it plays yet another tune of awesomeness that makes me speed up or even run. And today it made me have a personal best ever time! 7.45 for the first 1k, and then this great time for the 5k.
Wednesday April 20th –
Todays workout brought to you by umpteen annoying boy children at the pool, plus 5 annoying girls. I set a goal of burning 800 calories aqua jogging, and I very nearly did a u-turn in the carpark when I saw this busload of boy children being lectured by one of the adults. But then I thought, piffle, ain’t gonna let no noisy kids stand in the way of my exercise! :) YAY WINNING. There is two tracks – the above one for the jogging and one to follow for the cool down —
Thursday April 21st –
Todays workout brought to you by new water shoes! Yay 713 calories burned total. I’m showing you a different screen today.
Another highly active week. Weigh in at the end of this week was 83.2.
Week 1 is here.
“My” rest day, today, brought to me by aching legs, hurty feet and a complaining shoulder. no walking or running done at all. (*~*)
I have done 40 floors of beach steps today, no rest days for the wicked, lol! ;)
Keep up the great work!! Today is a “rest” day for me, but I will still go outside and walk after lunch. One lap around the outside of my work building is 1/2 mile. Even with all the working out, I’m struggling to get in 8,000 steps a day on the Fitbit. Probably because everything I do with the trainer is weight-based rather than walking or running.
7:45 and 8:06 for a km – excellent!
