We had to rely on our alarms to wake us up yesterday as the cows stayed firmly in their field (I’m sure they’re just hatching their next escape plan). Cow chasing was replaced by a cardio HITT workout, much less a-moo-sing (ey). We did get to meet the new addition to the farm, six gorgeous black and white lambs. Next…

She’s slacking again with these daily blogs… Tuesday started off with all the drama with ‘The Great Cow Escape’. Our next door neighbour knocked on the door at about 8 am to say that a local farmer had spotted the cows wandering through some near by fields.Their gate was flung open and they had managed to escape out of the…

We were a bit too lucky with the weather weren’t we? Couldn’t last forever… Decided to start the week off right and kick our butts and abs into gear. It’s funny the comparison between the impeccably flawless and toned women on the videos in their matching pastel workout gear and us – just rolled out of bed, toothpaste on our…

Another weekend round up… I blame my food coma for the lack of blog yesterday. The factor 30 was officially out this weekend, us pasty folk can’t hack above 20 degrees. The gorgeous weather was definitely appreciated though and we spent a lot of the weekend chilling outside; reading, crafting, hairdressing… Jack decided that he couldn’t hack the length of…

I have a bullet journal that I have used for a couple of years, one of the pages I use to colour code my days (blue being a good day, green being average, red being sad etc). I find it a good way to track my days and spot any patterns, comparing from year to year. I use yellow as…

When I think the workouts can’t get any more horrific, I am surprised. We chose a dance cardio one. Fun they promised. Energy Boosting they promised. Uplifting they promised. They didn’t promise that my arms would feel they were actually going to fall off within the first 5 minutes. The ‘cool down’ was equally as agonising as the actual workout,…
Dear Isolation #21
We got through hump day, the sunshine definitely helps. We begrudgingly settled on a 10-minute standing ab workout – basically as an attempt to avoid planks and/or crunches. It was relatively bearable but I can tell it worked today. We followed a 10 minute stretch video afterwards which was intended as a calming, gentle round up to the exercise but…
Dear Isolation #20
Day 20! Not sure if that’s the longest 20 days of my life or the shortest… Amy and I chickened out on the exercise and left mum to it – she felt bad that she hadn’t done it the day before, so powered on through. She followed a workout put up on Facebook by the gym that she attends which…
Dear Isolation #19
Bit of a late one today… have been doing some online socialising (ooh get us!), you can hear about the hilarity of that tomorrow. As Monday’s go, it started a bit ‘meh’. I didn’t feel ready and raring to go so I decided to cut myself a bit of slack rather than trying to power on with being productive and…
Dear Isolation #17 & #18
She missed a day!! I’m sorry if I ruined anyone’s Sunday with the void of Raynor antics and average banter. To cut a long story short, my laptop went poof including my Harddrive (not the ideal situation) so with the stress of that, I obviously got waylaid from bloggity blogging. Amy has kindly offered up her laptop for me to…
