I didn't want to do it, but I did

Oooh I really wasn't in the mood for my wiii workout today, but I did it in the end and I'm glad I did. I got up this morning late and feeling not in the mood for excercising or ironing which is how I planned to spend my day. I procrastinated for ages messing about on the internet before finally deciding to get on with my ironing and see if I felt like doing my workout later.
I did an hours ironing while watching gossip girl then had my lunch chatting to eily on busymitts and then it was back to ironing with desperate housewives. Well they weren't ironing with me, shame that I could have done with the help lol, I was just watching it while I ironed. I finished about four and then decided I really should do my workout..
I'm glad I did as I was feeling very guilty for not doing it and so I felt a lot better afterwards. I did have to skip the jump lunges though as they make my knees hurt at the best of times and after a few hours ironing it wasn't the best of times kneewise, but I managed the rest ok. 
I didn't do any workout yesterday as it was a rest day but I did give my purse a workout instead as I had a day in town with my mum. I bought a couple of little christmas presents for my niece and nephew,a couple of tshirts and a tunic top for me along with a few other bits including some more glucosamine tablets while they were on buy one get one half price in holland & barrett.
Town was really busy with it being half term, it was full of noisy kids with fairground rides and stalls running up the centre of the shopping area. The shops were quite busy especially boots where everyone seemed to have baskets of gift sets, taking advantage of the 3 for 2 offer they had on, unfortunately they only had two cashiers at the till so the queue was extra long and extra slow, shame they didn't have 3 for 2 on staff lol.
Right enough rambling its time I was off hubby and I need to pop up in the loft to put some christmas bits up and get a trolley case down for nephew so I'll say bye. Not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of my evening as there isn't anything on tv on a thursday so it might be a dvd or something we've recorded  and maybe a bit of knitting. I'm having a go at knitting somemens slippers at the moment after finishing a pair of flip top mitts for my niece Gemma on tuesday. I'm quite pleased with how they turned out as I had to alter the pattern a little by going a needle size smaller as Gem has small hands like me and the proper size would have made them too big.

If you see the workout police don't tell them where I am

Well its a wet and dull day today and it's making me feel very wintery. I was supposed to be going shopping today with my mum but we were put off by the bad weather and have decided to try tomorrow instead which hopefuly will be drier. I'm not a fan of the wet weather and trying to shop with an umberella is such a pain, so a day at home was called for instead. I've just finished a couple of hours sewing, I've been making some more shopping bags for the fruit & veg shop as they are running low. I've only made two today as time got away from me this morning and I didnt  get started till after lunch so I'll have to make a couple more another day.

Now I'm blogging while I wait for hubby to come home from work and munching away on cinder toffee which is sticking in my teeth terribly. I'm sure it's a really unhealthy thing to be muching on but it is nice and it does say on the bag it has no artifical colours or preservatives so thats something at least eh. I think I've probably undone all the good my wii workout did this morning with just a few pieces of this stuff though lol.
Yes I'm still at it with my wii workout, hard to believe for me but I'm still sticking to it, just like this cinder toffee is to my teeth lol. I must confess I did miss out on doing any this weekend though so I'm a bit worried the workout police will have a warrant out for my arrest. In my defence though saturday was a rest day and sunday I woke up with a really bad sinus headache, just moving my head made me feel sick so I didn't fancy a workout.  By the time the tablets kicked in and I started to feel better it was lunchtime and we were off out to pick mum up for a visit. Hubby, mum and me did go out for a walk for an hour on sunday afternoon though so I did do some excercise and I was back at it on Monday so please Mr Workout Policeman let me off with a caution.

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
......
rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit



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
