Lets get physical .. or I need to make soup!

Blooming

Fitness .. where do I begin … at the beginning (a very good place to start so Maria Von Trapp sings) .. I am a member of my local gym, one that has just had a massive revamp, one that is now really very modern and has ALL the equipment.  I’ve been a member for over a year now .. believe me I have been and I do enjoy it once i’m there .. but its the getting there and motivating myself to go that i’m having difficultly with, I can always come up with a reason as to why I can’t go .. “I need to iron, clean the bath, make soup” (& to be honest I never make soup .. but its a good reason to not go isn’t it?  And soup is good for you) ..

I have a whole heap of fitness DVDs, which go back years .. to fair I have used them a few times .. but then something happens and I get out the of routine, it can also be off putting when you have an audience sat on the sofa moaning about not being able to watch TV or play the PS4, and laughing at you huffing and puffing!

But here’s the thing I really to need to start back again (is “need” the correct statement .. I usually only need clothes, shoes, candles, throws, wicker baskets .. you get my drift) .. I want to be fit, healthy .. have that glow and feel good about myself.  Also, and I hate to be the one to mention it, but its going to be that festive season soon and I love dressing up for those sort of occasions .. so that is even more motivation surely .. ?

I want to eat healthier too, don’t get me wrong I don’t do too badly at the moment, but I definitely think I could do better, sometimes its just too easy to put those chips and pie in the oven and have a beige meal.

So, am I now feeling more motivated having written this post?  Yes I am, I want to be the fit healthy person I see in my head.  Will I start going back to the gym & do those dvds when time is lacking even if I have an audience? .. YES YES YES

Wish me luck .. i’ll need it .. those first few sessions when all you ever feel after is stiff and aching .. but I know that it will be worth it … and to keep my mind focused I think i’ll start shopping for those lovely outfits I want to be wearing when the festive season is here .. oh and yes .. of course i’ll update you on my progress.

Niki xx

Thing(s) I am learning in lockdown 3.0 .... the Thing(s)  I am learning  in lockdown 3.0 .... 
the art of the mirror selfie (there so many different poses to be achieved) 😃😉 ... & of course how to unfurl after them (some of the poses are probably yoga moves 🤣🧘🏻‍♀️)

Don’t you just love that feeling when you’re i Don’t you just love that feeling when you’re in that dozzy sleeping kinda mode 😴 ... you & your bed are ONE ... you’re so comfy you’ve almost melted into the mattress .. the duvet is giving you just the right amount of weight to keep you Super (with a capital S) snugly & there’s a quiet calmness all around ✨ ... that is until the shrill of the alarm clock goes off .. it’s not what I call a gentle wake up call ... not like when we were children and our mums would softly call our names & gently shake us from our slumber .. I wonder if my mum would start doing that again 🤔😉 #mumsarethebest

I made these oat & raisin biscuits on Sunday morni I made these oat & raisin biscuits on Sunday morning 😋😋 ... they were all gone by Sunday evening 😳 ... I think that’s what you call a success 🏆 & very hungry teens (honestly I do feed them 😂) ... although they’re never as keen when it comes to a plate full of veg 🙄😂

AD • there are somedays when you most definitely AD • there are somedays when you most definitely require a “mug of motivation” ... now I can neither confirm nor deny the contents of this mug ... coffeee / red / fizz ... maybe even a sneaky G&T ... or all four together 😳🥴🤢 ... they all get my vote ☕️🍷🥂🍹🍸🧉
