I'll have the house to myself for a bit of it, I have planned some exercise but I don't know what else to do...

Any suggestions?

Absolutely no idea but there’s bound to be a homes in the sun under a hammer somewhere!

in reply to Oldgirlruns

They can't still be showing that lot can they 🙄

Anyway I work in auctions and I want a break from them, I'll def think of something to do.

in reply to

Have you seen Free Solo, the Alex Honnold documentary about El Capitan? It’s amazing to watch (serious recommendation!) ⛰

in reply to

I know what you are talking about, I'd like to see it. Thanks. 😊

See, you can be sensible when you make the effort 😋😂

in reply to

Bbc2 is good right now.

in reply to

Yes! Wowzers!

in reply to

It looks like an amazing place.

Read some good nutritional books. I've just bought 10% Human and The Phychobiotic Revolution, both books are about the Gut Biome and the effect on our health.

Think I'd better start reading them myself!😉

in reply to

Not a bad idea 😊

in reply to

I'm a great believer in the Gut Biome's capability of healing.😀

in reply to

I am too 😀

in reply to

Like minded. As they say 'you are what you eat'. 👍 Enjoy not being at work. 😀

in reply to

I'll try 😃

in reply to

Sounds like you're like me, hard to relax.

in reply to

I can't sit around it drives me nuts.

in reply to

I can't in the day time but I can in the evening, particularly if I've done plenty of exercise like today.😀

in reply to

I'm usually working during the day, then walking the dog and exercising in the evenings, I used to draw a lot to but I haven't the patience for it anymore. The next two days will not be easy for me but I'll think of something to do.

in reply to

Fortunately I no longer work and it's afforded me the time to get my fitness levels back on track, after being poorly for many months it feels so good to be fit.😀

You'll have to do lots of running.😉

in reply to

I'm not as fit as I was but I'm getting there.

Lots of running and a bit of weight training should keep me in shape 😉

in reply to

Sounds like you're doing well with a big step in the right direction.👍

in reply to

I used to be super fit, I even qualified as a fitness instructor etc etc so I shouldn't be slacking with it really.

in reply to

Don't be too hard on yourself, life can get in the way as well as health.

in reply to

That's true, in truth I'm actually very happy.

in reply to

That's so good to hear😀

in reply to

It sure is 😀

Have you exercised yet today?

in reply to

Not yet and not sure if I will today as weather is shocking where I live also I have done something to my groin so am going to look online for some physio exercises.

Failing unmentionables...how about a few days of self indulgence...spa, massage, manicure, etc.

in reply to backintime

A massage would be nice.

So, what’s on today’s agenda?!

I’m heading out to boot camp. It’s on the beach so is a great start to the week 🤸🏽‍♀️

Then-I’m spending the afternoon being an Indian Head massage model 💆🏻‍♀️😆 I help to teach Indian Head massage, as well as doing it, and I’m helping one of the students out! Perks of the job 🤣

in reply to

Got hair cut, next up is a lot of exercise, then who knows after that.

Lucky you on the beach, although it's shouldn't really be nice if you are pushing yourself 😈 have fun anyway!

Indian head massage, I don't even know what that is, but it does sound interesting, perks n all 😁

in reply to

in reply to

A few stretches needed then?

in reply to

You gonna do some or not? 😉

in reply to

I’m on it!!! 🤣 Some yoga later will help too 🧘🏻‍♀️

in reply to

What exercises did you do to get pec pain?

in reply to

Push ups 🙈😂

in reply to

Don't laugh 😅

If you are still sore from them in another day or two do some more..

in reply to

😳

in reply to

What?

in reply to

Sounds like torture but I’ll give it a go 👍🏻💪🏻

in reply to

If you let your body get used to doing an exercise then you won't hurt as much afterwords.

💪👍
