I'll have a weekend of drinking beautiful smoothies and I'll decide that it's my new way of life and I'm going to be a religiously healthy smoothie-making queen, until I run out of fruit and have to go back to drinking orange squash again.

They last about a week, then I run out of healthy food and am too lazy to to go to Tesco and deal with PEOPLE, so I order a pizza in, because I've been good and healthy and deserve a treat.

I've been trying to train my body to do the splits for over a year now and I'll do the stretchy exercises for a week religiously, then I'll forget. Same with situps, I'll be all "I'm going to get up early and do 50 situps before work", I'll manage it maybe twice.

'..and get up early and do 20 minutes before work!'
Pfft. I think I managed it ONCE.

but then I had to do loads of overtime instead and I want WiiFit too so I've convinced myself that I should wait until someone buys it me for my birthday.

I keep meaning to restart them, but meh, effort.

my mrs bought one of those things that aid you in doing situps too. (ab-cruncher?) and it has mostly sat under the bed....

It started to get really hard, so I caved.
Might restart it and see about looping week 3 until I can carry on.
No pain no gain, right?

and one of my students held it for ages so I had to hold it longer because it doesn't look very good if the teacher collapses after thirty seconds, wheezing and crying.

I didn't know how to work it and I didn't want everyone staring. The few times I have seen people on it, they get into the strangest positions!

but only if you mix them with all the other stuff. you do see some muppets just sitting on them, expecting miracles. just switch them on and stand on your tiptoes, that's your calves done. but don't expect to be able to walk for the next 24 hours!
my colleague goes to a keep-fit class on powerplates, she says it's murder. and she does that 6am army training on clapham common, so she's pretty fit!

I hate being shouted at and it doesn't motivate me.
I only like fun exercise like trampolining and dancing. I find Pilates and Yoga really good for relaxing rather than working out.

I could do with doing that too.
the stupid thing is it only takes about 5 minutes every couple of days and I still don't manage to find the time.

It's too easy to forget, I need to set aside some time to do it.

if I could drag myself out of bed before the very last moment in the mornings I'd try and do it then.
I haven't been swimming in months either.

I find it alright. my stomach muscles are shit though. too much time spent lurking under loads of flab

which is completely unnecessary until I want a baby. My stomach is really strong so it should be a six pack, but it's hidden under my squidgy bits.
