Getting my body back

[Mokey]

Arrgghh. Trapped at my sister's house since Sunday babysitting a 7 mth old with a cold, a 2 year old (say no more) and dealing with mice who are sneaking in from the farm. Woke up this morning to see one sitting in my bag and scratching at a book. Havent been to the gym for 4 days and there isnt so much as a chocolate in the house. Could this be my personal hell? Quite possibly.

Every mouse's a critic aye!! at least the chronic lack of chocolate removes temptation... although that does sounds like a torturous situation! You could bench press the 2 year old... if the little bugger would stay still for longer that 7.5 seconds!

I find lying on my back and throwing my kids in the air is great for power development. Catching them also builds co-ordination and helps alleviate tears.

Lol, thanks for the primo advice guys!! Only trouble is, the two year old really likes that sort of thing and would then want to do it over and over and over. Luckily my mind is being exercised by multiple episodes of Dora the Explorer and Diego (Spanish), Ni hao Kai-lan (Brushing up on my Mandarin) and the musical genius of Wonderpets.

I find not offering myself into these situations helps no end too...

Have decided to just write off this week. Got some utterly brilliant news this morning so have been in full celebration mode today, and of course full celebration mode means champers and chocolate and all things bad. Back into it when the world calms down again.

[BartMan]

nothing is bad in moderation, and celebration is celebration, rip into it!!

[Mokey]

Oh sweet gym, how my ass has missed you. Cross trainer, leg raises, swiss ball, sit ups, plank, lunges, camping squats, quads, weights, triceps, rowing machine and bike. That feels so much better.

[Paekakboyz]

at least till tomorrow!! lol<br />
<br />
What on earth are camping squats!?

When you go camping and there is no toilet...

[Mokey]

Yeah, they look completely classy but are good for bum and upper thighs.

3 hours nannying + gym workout + 4km walk = very tired me. And very hungry me. Must refrain from stuffing my face and negating all the good work! One kg to go. ONE LOUSY STUBBORN KILO.

[BartMan]

mmm, face stuffing. Double down please.

You drinking lots of water? You could cheat a kilo off if you aren't drinking enough per day.

[Mokey]

To be honest I could do better in the water department!

[Mokey]

Gah, nothing screws up a routine like a head cold. Day 2 of feeling like crap. Managed a 6km walk today, but not attempting the gym until I can breathe through my nose again.

[BartMan]

WATER is good for this too - drown the germs and wash them away...

[MN5]

Whiskey's good too

[BartMan]

lol - but yes, whiskey, honey hot water and panadol. That'll learn those pesky bugs.

[Mokey]

After a week of near incapacitation thanks to a head cold, stomach bug and stuff you guys will never have to worry about, (lucky bastards) I did a workout today, focused mainly on upper legs and lower abs/glutes. May well now be out for another week, ye gods my muscles hate me right now.
