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…
Dear Isolation #16
Anyone else got that Friday feeling? Nah, me neither. This week has actually seemed to go quite fast compared to last week (which felt never-ending). I can’t say this all feels ‘normal’ yet but I think we are starting to get into the flow of it. Amy chose the workout for the morning, it was one we had done previously…
Dear Isolation #15
A new day, another workout we instantly regret. We chose a cardio workout designed for ‘mums’, naively believing that this would be within our capability. Little did we know it was designed for mums with rock hard abs and perfect bubble butts. We sweated and panted our way through the gruelling half an hour of squats and the cursed plank…
Dear Isolation #14
We made it to two weeks! Gotta begin with some sad news.. unfortunately, Jack has somehow managed to strain/pull/do something painful to his back. He’s having to rest up at the moment and for the foreseeable, therefore Jack antics will be kept to a minimum in the coming blogs. He’s putting on a brave face and is very grateful for…
Dear Isolation #13
Jack joined us again for the morning workout and we chose to do an abs and arms one, to alleviate our aching butts. Mum and Amy have been using 1kg dumbbells, myself on 2kg which meant that Jack was left with the 6kg pair. He’s far from weak but it is was not a workout designed for heavy weights and…
Dear Isolation #12
The start of a new week and back to the grind.. at least we can do it in our pyjamas. Jack joined us for a morning yoga session (Not ran by Reiki master Megan this time, we left it to the professionals). It was 100% needed, both for the stretch and to get ourselves in a better headspace for the…
Dear Isolation #11
Another uneventful but still pretty wholesome day was had yesterday. We are trying our best to still seperate weekend from weekday in order to retain a bit of structure and sanity. We peaked in the morning by attempting a 30-minute cardio workout. Cardio is not a word that brings me much joy (does it anyone??). We were following three women;…
Dear Isolation #10
Some self-isolation (from each other) was required today, meaning our Saturday was pretty chill and uneventful. I decided to treat myself to a lie-in (I know, shock horror) so sat out on the morning workout. Mum and Amy did a routine that focused on form and stretching aka much less intense than the ones they make me do! (But more…
