Intense Zumba!!!

Last nights Zumba session was hard work...  The instructor made sure that that I would wake up this morning and remember that I have triceps and Abdominal muscles..

So far my leg seems to be coping with all I have been putting it through, last thing I need now is a relapse and being told not to exercise!! Don't even want to entertain the thought, so I have been making sure that I stretch out sufficiently after each running and Zumba session. 

At the end of our sweaty session, yes you heard me  "sweaty" session,  we were told that next week would be an intense Zumba class... Interesting, was this not intense enough???

Oh no..... an intense Zumba session means NO air con and HEAT on... WHAT???  Well it will help burn off some more fat I guess.. but will I be up for it next week.  I mean, I will be out late on Monday night with work, will I have the stamina to keep up???  Oh what the hell.... I'll give it a go and hope  come out the other side intact albeit soaked from head to toe.  So next week will mean as little clothing as possible (although I am not one for showing off too much flesh... I don't have the confidence to be doing that anymore...), and lots of water... watch this space..

All this back to exercise is doing me a world of good though.  I'm more conscious of not eating junk anymore, although next Friday the girls want to go for a breakfast before work which may mean a slight indulgence in something other than oats, granola and fruit..  I baked a chocolate cake on Saturday and as much as I would love to have a slice or two I haven't had any!!!

All this extra energy I have now leaves me wondering what I can do to help use it up.... I am playing with the idea of taking up some dancing again.. I think my ballet days are long gone, but maybe some Jazz and Tap... hmmmm....  decisions, decisions...

Till next time..... Ciao X

Another night on the Town.... Can i handle it !!!!

Yes it seems my younger counterparts have surfaced and are keen to go out again this Saturday night.. So am I up for it again???  Why not.  I don't get to do this very often and I'm sure I can handle one more night out on the Town... and besides its a long weekend ahead so I will have more time to recover... Of course now  I will need to find something to wear.... Any suggestions??? Thankfully I wont have any snow to deal with this weekend - well so far there is none forecast which means I wont freeze half as much..  and of course it will be safer walking around in heels.. Well some shopping is on the cards the next few days I think.. Question is can these young ones keep up with me???  I hope so - but they don't seem to make them like they used too...

Run Run Run!!!

Sunday 9 June - my Race for Life.. I was ready, even after my little holiday, even though I didn't get much running in during the holiday I did a fair amount of walking and I managed to be good and not over indulge in anything other than Thrill Rides :-) Got to Abington ready to hit the ground running so to speak... It was a cool morning overcast with a slight breeze blowing.  Everyone around me had coats and jumpers on... I didn't need one I was so excited for this run... Run started and it was going well,  however, I don't know why so many women decide to start with the runners in the front of the race only to end up walking the rest of the way... due to this I had to overtake large groups of walkers along the way who tend to walk on the flat even path.  This means I need to overtake them on uneven surfaces, half way round I managed to twist my ankle. This wasn't going to stop me finishing the race though, so I carried on through the pain and completed it in 7

The day after the night before...

Well I survived the night out and had a great time... Even though I literally froze my butt off while walking from one place to the next... I stuck to the plan and wore my chosen outfit, and was glad I took the black leather jacket with to keep me warm during our walk from one place to the next.. Started off with a few drinks (a couple of glasses of wine and about 3 Raspberry sours shooters before we went out), meant that i didn't feel the cold too much - I'd hate to think how it would have been if I was completely sober. The only downside to the evening was when, at one of the venues, I went to the little girls room to look for my friend who's birthday it was, and after making a wee* (excuse the pun)  pit stop myself, when I returned to the bar I noticed that the group of 8 or so had left... No way.... They have left me behind... I was not happy..  although I had an idea as to what the next stop would be, I had no idea on how to get there and in which direction I s
