June 8th….It’s gym day

I seem to have problems responding to comments so here they are:

Abradypus: Yes I’m mad

Shazruns: toilets can be just as tricky….not much space and yes a goods night sleep was needed; however, apparently walking in trees is calming….some report in some magazine so bring it on….(don’t believe it for a second. How can 19 kids be calming!)

Runorgocrazy: Wasn’t planning on having a pink, yellow and purple dining room but could get used to it. LOTS of newspaper put down. Didn’t get much painting done so lots more to go aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Today is the day the 3 girlies, including me of course, hit the gym once dropping the wee ones into nursery. Not much time to do a lot but its amazing what we manage to squeeze in. It takes 25 minutes to get to the gym, so once there it’s a dash to the treadmill. Today I attempted Martin Yellings 43 minute 3 step interval training. 6 km completed in 38 minutes (skipped the cool down). Next I went onto the weights and also did some floor exercises. The gym has a new monthly challenge which I cannot miss up on. You have to lift as much as you can over a period of 10 minutes using either a dead lift, bench press or squat. The weight lifted at each rep gets totalled up for the ten minutes to give you an over all sum. You can mix and match what techniques you use. Next Wednesday my gym buddy and I will have a trial run then we’ll have a shot the week after. There is no way we’ll be near the top of the gym challenge as its men against women, no preference given for sex, size or age but it’s a challenge and something different to aim for.

After the gym, the nursery were providing a buffet lunch for all children (and their parents) who are moving onto school this year. How bliss is that. Hard workout followed by a healthy free lunch. Couldn’t be better. Feel spoilt today.
