Day 25 - "Tracey, have you lost some weight?"

"Why yes I have and thank you for asking." I replied to my sister-in-law at lunch today.

Hadn't seen her for about a month and she didn't know about PCP.  So needless to say, it was amazing validation from a totally neutral source.

So how have I been over the last day or so?  Well my feet have been pretty crappy with some really deep and big weals on the balls and arches of my feet causing me to hobble along. Took some antihistamine that has helped some and at the time of writing this, they are almost gone. For this flare up at least.

I left my workout until really late last night. I did the exercises first and then planned to do as many skips as possible as I didn't want to crash and burn on the skips and not do anything else. So got through the exercises and slowly but surely I got through all the skips. I took it really slow and they were basically in lots of 20 or so with no break between these.

Today was a bit crazy as I had my brother's birthday BBQ then to Akachan Honpo that eats me every time I go in there. So was out for most of the day and workout was late tonight after dinner and putting the baby to bed. New exercises are tough but I got through them. I was a quivering pile o' jelly on the floor after the jumps but I recovered quickly and got on with the rest of them.

Am not sure if with push-ups that the movement starts at the top lowering yourself down or start at the bottom and push up.  If I start at the top then I only get half way down with good form so I then push back up from there keeping straight to my toes. If I start at the bottom I can't push up without bending in the middle a bit. I will ask the question for the video.

V-sits remind me of my many many years in gymnastics when I was at school.  Great burn and I really enjoyed them as I felt like I knew what I was doing for a change.

So all good and I am about to hang out a load of washing, steam some vegies for my stash and do the dishes and then get to bed.

  1. I am in awe that you like the V sit-ups. They nearly killed me and suffering for it today.

    You don' like Akachanhonpo? Certainly not on a weekend. Did my head in. I will venture there once a year now buy ONLY on a weekday.
