A good old workout of the jaw

Bonjour ma petit bloggerrrrrrrrrrssssssssss
Ok thats enough of that I might have took french at school but I cant remember it and its no good pretending I can. I was just trying to think of a  more interesting way to say hello.
Hope everyone is well and happy out there in blog land, I'm not too bad today. I seem to have spent quite a lot of today talking,  a favourite pastime of mine as you might have guessed. First off I chatted with Eily online at lunchtime before I went into town to the shop which stocks some of my jewellery where I spent a happy couple of hours chatting to Jan who owns it. She's moving shops next week so I went to pack up my jewellery and drop off some new stock ready for her reopening  next week so although I was there on business it gave us a good excuse to have a chat while I was there.
Hubby picked me up from there when he'd finished work and brought me home where I rang mum for a chat while our dinner was cooking. Then after dinner hubby and I went to visit his sister and brother in law for a couple of hours and yes you guessed it , talked some more. Phew my jaw has had a workout today. I think chas & dave must have wrote that song about me you know which one I mean don't you.....
Cos you won't stop talking    

Why wont you give it a rest.

..............

with your excessive talking

your becoming a pest

Talking of workouts I started a new 30day workout challenge on the wii today. I finished my last one on tuesday and then had yesterday as a rest day as suggested by the wii, I like to do as I'm told especially where resting is concerned lol. I'm quite proud of myself for finishing my first 30 days as I'm not one for sticking to fitness things normally (Yay well done to me lol)

This time I've moved up a level on the intensity from low to medium. I wasn't sure I was ready to move up a gear to be honest but I managed todays workout without too much more huffing and puffing than usual. Could I possibly be getting a little fitter do you think???? Its is a bit harder on medium than low, you have to do more of each excercise but don't be too impressed I'm not talking marathon training levels here, its quite tame for anyone with a bit of fitness about them, but for people like me, well its enough for now.

Come on Andie keep it going

Right well theres enough rabbiting from me now its time to say au revoir et bonne nuit

More excercise and a bit of sewing

I was up quite early and excercising again this morning, I think I'm getting into the groove now with it. I was supposed to be having a rest day today but I was feeling a bit fed up and off it when I got up and thought a workout would wake me up a bit and it did.
The workout still keeps changing and new excercises keep being added to try too which I think is good. Today I did volleyball which I've never played you have to mimic the moves you would make to hit the ball over the net at a target, I din't always hit the target as my aim is a bit off but at least I was still burning calories. I'm quite enjoying doing my workouts now which is something I didn't think I'd ever say.

After my excercises I had a phone chat with a friend and an online chat with my sister from another mister Eily and then this afternoon I did some more sewing. I made another two shoppers for the fruit and veg shop using some of the new material I bought yesterday.

I had a lovely day at mum's, I bought some new material from Dunelm and a few new books from tesco while we were out and we also a look around B&M which is on the same row of shops I didn't buy anything in there but mum got some wrapping paper for christmas. A couple of the materials I bought were on sale so I got a bit of a bargain too which is always nice isn't it.
I'm planning a bit of a lazy Sunday morning with a nice read in my jimjams with a few cups of tea and one of my new books. I got a couple of chick lit books and a mills & boon, yes I do read mills & boon!!!!!! I like my reading easy and slushy lol.

My new material & chick lit

Now Im off to catch up on the blogs I follow and then do a bit of knitting while I watch tv.




Up early again, it's so not me..or maybe it is

Morning all I thought Id write my blog in the morning for a change, I mostly write them at night but I haven't been going online as much of an evening lately so consequently I haven't done my blog as much. I'm just sitting waiting for my brekkie to settle a bit before I do my wii workout for today. Im still doing it although I must admit to missing out on Sundays workout, oh the shame :-( 
I didnt go to bed while 3am on saturday night as I got caught up reading a book so I didn't get up very early on sunday and felt a little rough when I did so I didn't do them then thinking I would do them later. Unfortunately I didn't though as mum came over for lunch and Matt and his girfriend were here too so after lunch we were all together in the living room, well theres no way I was going to huff and puff and lunge and jog in front of everyone besides which space would have been a bit tight (too many peoples legs for me to trip over during my workout). I thought I'd get them done after tea when mum had gone home but mum and me were helping Matts girlfriend remember how to knit and before we knew it it was 7 o'clock.
Mum wanted to be home and settle ready to watch something on tv that evening so we took her home without any tea (what terrible hosts we are) and by the time we got back and got our teas it was 8 o'clock and so we sat and watched x factor with Matt and Abi and then it was after 9pm and well I thought ooh bugger it its too late to be excercising now.
I know thats naughty and I should be ashamed of myself and to be honest I was a bit. I kept thinking about it when I was in bed that night, I was scared that the wiii would tell me off when I went on it on Monday and maybe make me start the 30 day challenge again but it didn't . I got up yesterday and after brekkie I put it on and all it had done was make sunday another rest day!!!!!!!! It didn't even tell me off! I felt a bit cheated to be honest lol.
Well I best sign off now and do todays workout, Im on a tight schedule today as after Ive done my workout its straight up in the shower and get ready cos I'm off to mums. We're going to Dunelm mill store today which is a short walk from mums. The fruit and veg shop I have been making shopping bags for wants four more this week and I'm getting quite low in material so I made two with my exisiting stock yesterday but decided I'd make the other two in some different material. Hopefully I'll find something nice today and then I can make the other two tomorrow.
Right I'm off to workout now hope you all have a good day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

getting active

Whew am I hot and bothered tonight, I've been excercising for the first time in months and boy I'm unfit. At the weekend hubby and I bought wii active to try and do some excercises and hopefully get fit, well fitter anyway.

It looks quite good and comes with a resistance band and a leg strap to hold the nunchuck while you workout to register your leg movements. You can set up your own profile with your sex, age, weight and height and then design an avatar like yourself (mines a wee porker poor little love ) Then you either pick workouts from a list, customise your own, or take part in a 30 day challenge which is what hubby and I have plumped for (hehe very apt choice of words there andie).
When you take part in the 30 day challenge it sets you a workout of excercises which you can accept as they are or delete any you know you wont be able to do. Which I did today as my workout included lunges which I just can not do as my knees wont bend that low quickly, so I had 14 excercise to do today. Then you choose whether you want your trainer to be female or male and then off you go.
Our workouts started with  a run which I was puffed and sweaty at from the off, then it would have been the squats, which I didn't do but hubby did, he's very good at them too (squat swat) then more running which was hard for me as I hadn't recovered from the first one yet lol. Some more excercises including bicep curls, sideways lunges,target boxing, bend over rows, a bit of inline skating and then the squats,curls, lunges, target boxing bend over rows, and inline skating again, plus some shoulder raises and then onto another run to finish. 
The wii times your workouts and shows the calories you're burning too and then records it. Each day it mixes up your workouts a bit so you don't get bored or so it says, I hope not as we're not very good at sticking to excercises. Hopefully we'll stick to it and I'll tone up and lose a bit of weight and then me and my wii avatar can both go down a size. The poor thing does look abit of a sight, especially when shes running which means obviously so must I lol.
Before excercising this evening I made another shoulder bag this afternoon for the daughter of the lady who bought two last week and then I wrote and sent out the newsletter for my jewellery website. Hubby has wrote me a list of instructions for producing my newsletter which I write and add pictures with links back to my website using html code. I didn't know thats what I was doing until hubby told me today as I'm not big on computer jargon but given simple instructions I can usually manage to do things.

I feel really lucky to have my computer savvy hubby who not only wrote and designed my website for me but also set it up in such a way I can do things myself quite easily. I can add new items, link matching pieces together, write my newsletter and lots of other things I need to do all without having to bother hubby all the time.  There are still a few things I need him to do for me on it though but then again I like to make him feel needed lol
