Playing With Pegs Gives You Better Legs!

On Friday I had my 14 year old and my 11 year old off sick so they kept each other company and I was able to make the 9-10am session. There were three of us and we played games and laughed a lot. After warming up, Bianca gave us 4 pegs and told us to clip them onto the back of our t-shirts. She then explained that we had to run about and grab the pegs off your opponants back whilst trying to protect our own. Boy it was funny. We did it a few times and it brought back more memories of playing centre in netball (when I was 12!) as you had to be quick on your feet and defend as well as attack. So who would have thought that pegs were good for your legs!!

We played chasey too. Bianca gave us an advantage by hopping and trying to catch us as we ran, but boy can she hop fast! Our hearts were pumping and we did press ups on the bar, pulls ups on the goal posts and jumping squats until we were out off puff! We then focussed on muscles just in from the hip bone, which tend to go after having kids and no normal form of our daily life and exercise ever uses them. As I was lying on my towel, trying to contract these muscles I was looking up at the huge blue sky and I thought "This is the way to exercise".

Water intake has been better too. It seems easier to drink on days when I exercise. So I should make sure I exercise everyday!!

I am having a fat day today. I feel fat and my tummy feels bloated. I had 5 girlfriends round last night for a meal and enjoyed a thai curry and a several glasses of wine. I struggled this morning as normally after a night like that (we were doing singstar on the playstation until 2.30am!) I would have heaps of toast to make me feel better, but I resisted! Back on track with the meal plan and I have even fought the desire to go and polish off the chocolates one of the girls brought and had some tuna and salad instead.

Hopefully after topping myself up with water and a good nights sleep, I will feel better tomorrow and I will make the effort to exercise so I don't feel so sluggish.
