Just thought I would share that quote with you! I won't, however, tell you that it was said by Mr Motivator in his latest exercise DVD 'cos then you might think that I was a sad person and had said DVD which >blushes<>starts to burn up<.
Another good one is:
“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal;nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.”
Thomas Jefferson
Now that is a quality quote and SOOOooo true isn't it!
Anyway last week. Thank you for the kind comments!
Now as a follow up I can update you on my week (well 6days):
Walked : 12.5m
Stepper: 2118 steps
Exercise bike: 6.4m
Not bad if I say so myself! This is a lot more exercise than I have been doing and I am working at a low level so hopefully this is not only burning calories but building base fitness too.
So as a follow on to this I have some targets for me!
By the end of April I want to have:
"Walked" the Grand Union Canal - 175m
"Stepped" my way to V-Rap's Cavern in Brum - 28m or 92,400 steps
"Cycled" the Trailwalker - 62m
Oh and lost some weight!
So this means each week on average ...14.m walked, 5m cycled and 7700 steps on the stepper oh and ideally a swim with Gnome too! So that's at least 5 walks (5 lunchtimes?), 2-3 lots of stepping and 1 cycle a week and a shed load of calories being used!
On a couple of days this week I could have easily have done nothing or I've been busy doing other stuff and considered using that as my 30mins but I haven't. I've been very focused on doing this 30mins. After all it is only 30mins so hardly taking up a huge amount of time. At present my bike is in the garage but I am considering moving this upstairs too (don't worry Duck I will leave room for the spare bed!!) as more incentive to use it.
Given the above targets I have to keep to my 30mins even when (in 2 weeks time) I go on a course and stay at mum's for a few days. This is important to me and therefore I need to push the excuses aside and (as the Nike ad says) Just Do IT! Having said that as I only had about 3hrs sleep last night thanks to hubby and had to do a panic/rush shop today (Gnome only has 1 pair of school trouser he declared last night!) so today's exercise was 40mins of trotting round the shops! I'm now too tired to do anything and just want to sleep! Sorry!

i especially like the Grand Union Canal one
Amazing how much little and often adds up isnt it
If you want to cycle the TW route, you can be the official support bike for "Feed Me" - duties include chasing Vrap with a cinnamon coated Scotch egg ;o)
