Crumbs it’s dull isn’t it – all this exercise posting… well interwebs sorry… but you did agree to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Well maybe not agree exactly – but you didn’t say no.

This week:

Sunday – social row in a quad
Monday – 3 x 10 min videos (arms with newly purchased weights, pilates and fatblaster)
Tuesday – Training row
Wednesday – nada
Thursday – 3 x 10 min videos (full body, butt workout, scupted arms)
According to link viagra samples a survey, sildenafil contained kamagra has been found more effective than other drugs. There are a online viagra number of impotence drugs in the stores these days that could confuse your look for the wonder pill. The cheap pill viagra works with the blood circulation in the muscles and it gets relaxed and erected. With the improvement of living standards, people’s demand for quality of life is higher and tadalafil order higher. Friday – nothing – very bad but I played bridge the night before and slept badly
Saturday – social row in an 8

So two days with nothing and no cycling although on the cycling front I did pick up a great bike rake for the car from a fellow rower who was looking to get it out of his boot! Win.

Slipping a bit on the old exercise front but next week is another week… Go me.

As far as the videos go I am finding more and more on the internet. Sometimes the person is just too thin and perky for me to cope with, but mostly I find them to be good and even though I say I’m only going to do one, I always get to the end and go… ooooh that looks good maybe I’ll just do one more.

So if you struggle with doing exercise maybe try one of the videos. You might surprise yourself.

Update on the first week

Right for those who’ve just tuned in here is my plan:

  1. Cycle to rowing 1-2 times a week
  2. Row 3 or 4 times a week
  3. Do ten minute youtube exercise video on other days

So in the interest in engaging the interweb gods… here’s this week’s exercise:

  1. Sunday – race at Mettam Head Race (5 k race and about 5 k paddling – we came 3rd)
  2. Monday – SLACKED OFF – things weren’t looking good for The Plan
  3. Tuesday – rowing training
  4. Wednesday – 2×10-minute video (arms and yoga) Partly to make up for Monday
  5. Thursday – 1×10 minute video (legs)
  6. Friday – rowing training
  7. Saturday – rowing cancelled but I cycled to Nedlands and back for bridge game.

Many buy viagra sample males think that they are best stallion during sex, but they often make mistakes. A pack of Crocin costing twenty bucks levitra 20mg canada may seem cheaper to an individual but it is foolish to overlook the negative effects of consuming that drug. One is preventive in nature and another is curative in 5mg cialis nature. You can buy these herbal pills from reputed online stores with the help of credit icks.org buy generic levitra card.
Overall – thank you.

Putting it out there working so far.

Also new bike (newer bike loaned to me by kind friends) with better gears working out well. Did I tell you I changed the inner tube by myself? Just me, an inner tube, a spoon and this video.

And tip from cyclist at work to ride down Princess Road rather than Stirling Hwy is great. No traffic lights, and fewer cars.

Still waiting for my fit and cut body.

Must stop eating chocolate peanuts.

Sorry? Is that the pizza arriving? Gotta go!

If I put it online will that mean I do it?

Sunrise from Matilda Bay

Ahhhhh see this is why I get up early in the morning on a Saturday to go rowing.

So beautiful.

And today I rode my bike. Well Evan’s bike but he’s got lots and the gears aren’t so great on this one so he doesn’t miss it (I hope).

I got up at 6am. And left the house around 6.15 with my brand new Moon lights on and the wind on my face.

Well there wasn’t much wind, it was the speed of my pedalling.

(that was a little joke)

It took me about 35 minutes to get to the UWA Boatshed and I was surprised to see so many cars in the carpark.

Damn it! I thought I’d missed rowing altogether. That everyone had showed up and gone out, locking the shed behind them.

I checked my phone and it was 6.50. Yay. So I took the shot above.

Coming back was a bit more of a struggle.
Greatest impact cialis free sample happens between 30 to 120 minutes after admission. This eventually allows the blood to flow into the penis causing a firm erection meant to enhance the sexual relationship of men levitra viagra online and women. In fact they are more prone to online sale viagra erectile dysfunction as they feel its embarrassing and incurable. You can order medications like generic cialis prescriptions from them, and they are willing to pay. 1.
Scary too. People in their big 4WDs and trucks!!! A truck beeped at me as I wobbled up the last hill and scared me into wobbling more. Yikes.

Also I was tired.

But I imagined my cut body. Fit from riding to rowing and rowing and riding from rowing. This will get easier each time I do it I said to myself as I reached the crest of the last hill.

Anyway this is my plan – and I’m hoping by declaring my hand on the interwebs Ii will be honour bound to follow true.

(even though this has never worked in the past… you never know)

So I row 3 or 4 times a week.

I will ride to rowing 1 or 2 times a week.

And on the days inbetween I’m going to make sure I at least do one ten-minute video from PopSugar.

Now how hard can that be?

*Famous last words*

Club Half As Small As You

A group half as small as me

13 Comments

One of my new bloggy finds is a blog called Half As Good As You by Casey.

She was moaning about how hard it was to lose weight and somehow in comments a bunch of us decided that maybe online motivation would work. Well why not? Nothing else seems to… for me anyway.

So Club Half As Small As You was born and it’s free – bar a little commitment.

It’s about finding a group of peers who will encourage you to get fit and maybe in the process lose a little of that excess weight… you know, the saddle bags, the love handles, the bingo wings… etc.

To start with – like any old fashioned 12-step program – an acknowledgement of the problem is in order:

My name is Cellobella and I need to get fit and lose weight.

Next – the answer’s to the Club Half As Small As You questionnaire:

1. What motivates you and why do you want to do this challenge? It may be that you’re training to run a 10K or merely just to be able to walk to the mailbox and not break a sweat (don’t worry, I fall on this end of the spectrum).

What motivates me?  Plainly not much. 🙂  However the only success I’ve had is peer pressure.  That is exercising with a group.  I’m doing this challenge because I’ve tried other stuff and it hasn’t worked and who knows… it might even be fun.

2. What is your long term goal? Do you want to lose weight or just tone your body. Are you trying to fit into your old prom dress for your upcoming reunion? Do you want to want to “pump yourself up” like Hans and Frans? Spill it.

I want to want to exercise – and I’m hoping that feeling those endorphins rush around my body from physical activity will become addictive.  In the process losing some weight would be a good thing.

Men develop ED due to aging and wrong frankkrauseautomotive.com buy cialis lifestyle. So, you can order free levitra it from anywhere. Also, you may experience daytime-dizziness, lack of concentration, headache etc. generic viagra browse description Premature ejaculation affect the younger population equally and if you are not satisfied in your sexual relationship then sex act becomes boredom which impacts negatively on the mental and psychological health to preserve erectile functions. prescription levitra 3. What is your long term weight loss goal? You don’t need to tell us your current weight, just how much you’d like to eventually lose. This can be in weight or inches. Jamie and I have a sewing tape measure that we use for our weekly measurements. We got ours in the sewing section at Wal-Mart, if you look at Target, you won’t find it.

10 kilograms would be nice.

4. What tools are available to you? Treadmill, elliptical, jogging stroller, ThighMaster, Trampoline. Maybe a rabid dog to chase the weight off?

Sandshoes.  Bathers.  Goggles. Running shorts.  And I could go to the gym.

5. How often can you exercise? Be realistic here but try to make as much time as possible. This might include stepping AWAY from the blog for a couple of nights a week. I know, *gasp*. I’m crying on the inside too but it needs to be done. Fatty. Ok, that was mean and it won’t happen again. I promise.

3-4 times a week is probably realistic.  I theoretically could exercise every day if I got up early enough.  I find that it has to be in the morning or I don’t.

6. What do you plan on doing? Beer curls, switch the remote to the other hand for a few days, start smoking more. Maybe you want to actually exercise and start eating better? I hear that never works but go ahead and try if you want.

Reduce alcohol intake.  Take salads to work for lunch.  Get up at 6am and go jogging (gasp!).

7. What has worked for you in the past? Let us in on your secrets, what has worked for you before and how you went about it. We won’t tell.

The last time I lost a LOT of weight I was breastfeeding and had managed to contract Giardia… I was also following the “Fit for Life” food combining principals.   Given the first two are out I guess I’ll try healthy eating and exercise.

There. That wasn’t so hard. Want to join us? Head over to Casey’s to find out more.

Here’s mine:

  1. Get up and join group for Jacob’s Ladder experience – do JL 4 times and run up and down Mount St Hill twice.  Completed.
  2. Stand in pool for 20 minutes to help my aching legs (apparently it’s what you do).  Done.
  3. Eat breakfast, fruit salad.  Done.
  4. Blog.  Nearly complete.
  5. Get hair dyed, temporary rinse.  9.45
  6. Exercise my democratic right.  Vote!  I just LOVE elections.
  7. Take sewing machine to repair shop.
  8. Iron black trousers for tonight.
  9. See if I can fit in a massage or tomorrow will be hell… depends on Mum.

  10. Go to work.

How much fun is election night eh?  And tonight’s looks to be a doozy.  

Centrebet last night had brought down the price of the Libs to $3.10 and the latest poll looks like the Libs by a landslide.  I tend to believe the punters though – they are after all putting their money where their mouth’s at and with Labor at a dollar something… well? 

At any rate with all the changed boundaries and new seats and new independents it will be a fun night… and I get to work in the Tally Room!  W00t!  

In other news, standing on top of Jacob’s Ladder today – pictured – I looked down at those white trees I was telling you about earlier – and you can really see where the birds have been – if you know what I mean.  I was heartened by another in our group saying that she went past them all the time too and thought they had died because of all the building dust.  

Jacob’s Ladder meanwhile, I’ve learned refers to to a ladder to heaven, described in the Book of Genesis, which the biblical patriarch Jacob envisions during his flight from his brother Esau.  

I think it’s more of a ladder to HELL!

OMG my legs are sore.

Anyhoo gotta go – hair appointment!

Hope you get your to do list done. 🙂

Groins, groans and complete bollocks

So an update on my groin.

I know you’re fascinated. Yes you are – don’t be coy…

It’s not my groin.

It’s my hip flexor.

Basically I can’t lift my leg up – this makes stairs tricky and in fact walking is a bit frankensteiny – you know what I mean – stiff.

I went to the physio today who gave me ultrasound and electrical stimulation… kind of a buzzy sensation, last felt by me when in labour using a TENS machine. Made absolutely NO difference to my labour pains but felt quite good on my upper thigh.

Direction for Usage discount generic viagra Kamagra Oral Jelly is no exception. It offers viagra best price effective weight loss results. It is because the internet based suppliers india online cialis offer different exclusive purchase benefits. Another important factor is viagra doctor free the penile area which is also responsible for erectile dysfunction. So I’m feeling less sore but not really able to attempt the DNA tower at 6am tomorrow morning.

It’s 101 steps people!

Also, I saw this on Wikipedia:

Perth is considering a bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics. Perth hosted the 1962 Commonwealth Games, and the FINA World Championships in 1991 and 1998. Holding the America’s Cup in 1987, the Red Bull Air Race from 2006, the Hopman Cup and many international matches from rugby and cricket, Perth has developed high experience in holding a memorable performance through their international sports. From their experience Perth can deliver the 2028 Olympic Games with high expectations.

That smells like rubbish to me.

By the way, I had a fellow complain to me today about the word bollocks. Said it was outrageous and rude and shouldn’t be allowed to be said publicly… is bollocks that bad? Does it offend you?

5.40 am: I wake up, struggle into my gym gear and running shoes left out in a neat pile the night before. Make myself a hot water with a squeeze of lemon. Fill up my water bottle. It’s dark, but not as cold as it has been.

6.00 am: I’m at the beach carpark standing in the dark with a group of similarly clad people… I think. It’s a bit hard to tell in the murky pre-dawn. The instructor has a miners’ light on her head.

6.05 am: Warm up. We do knees up runs to the road and back, kicking our feet to our bums. Then stretches. I sit on the ground. As I put my feet together and draw them towards me, I feel a twang. Ouch! I can’t seem to get my knee to fall out towards the ground. And it hurts.

6.12 am: 3 kilometre run to test our fitness. Hmmm my right foot feels odd. Flat footed. And my groin is a bit sore… must be that thing that happened before… still… I jog on. Get back in 21 minutes 27 seconds… not last, nowhere near first.

6.35 am: Pushups and Situps. I manage one proper mens pushup and 19 knees down pushups in a minute and 20 full situps in another minute.

6.45 am: Stretches

6.50 am: Get up. Ouch! That groin thing is hurting.

So I go back to the club for measurements (OMG lets NOT go there) and then the instructor does a bit of massage. It still really hurts.

I go home, shower, get ready for work and go to the office. By the time I get out of the car and start walking up the stairs I’m hobbling. Ooohwee it hurts to lift my leg up to the next stair.

I get some ice.

It gets worse during the morning.

At lunchtime I pop (stagger, hobble) to the physio across the road and am advised to strap, ice and rest… and take some nurofen… I’ll get to see the physio himself tomorrow.

The picture is of me looking down at my lap at work with ice pack over strapped thigh.

The nurofen helps.

I feel like such an idiot. Day one of a ten day intensive program and within five minutes I’m injured. At least footy players you know… are fit before they get a groin injury.

Pathetically I drag myself home. I’m sticking to the diet and I’ll do upper body work at the gym tomorrow and miss the beach circuit. Sigh.

I never got injured when I lazed about at home on the computer, or was prone on the couch watching telly, or slept in! And the muscle ache from that run hasn’t even kicked in yet.

Bloody Olympics!
