Before the Christmas break Fridays have regularly been Costa Friday - my treat for getting through the week (although some weeks I'd had Costa every day). As part of my new regime for January I am resisting the urge to visit my local branch - which will probably shock a few people!
This first week back at work has been a nightmare with all the ridiculous behaviour from my colleagues. Today has been no different but for a different reason. None of my colleagues take an active part in sport or exercise, other than avidly spectate football, and yet they all have an opinion on my training. Today I am a little stiff which is not unusual and not as spritely as I normally am so I have had continual remarks about overdoing it. I have tried to explain what I'm doing but they just think I'm a nutter who's lost the plot. Apart from the sore thigh muscles from yesterday's hill training I actually felt great, but by the time I went home at lunchtime self doubt was beginning to creep in, and a foul mood descended.
Anyway, enough miserableness - it's the weekend and hubby has Saturday off so lots of dog walking tomorrow if it's not raining.
Today's exercise has been a 6k (1hr 45 min) walk with Archie and 30 minutes on the Wii Active. I have also done a little dogjog - although Archie was more interested in sniffing today. Today's ball game was to throw the ball as far as possible and then chase after him and the ball so I have done a little running today.
Can't believe I've nearly completed a whole week. My bad mood has disappeared thanks to some fresh air and time away from human beings.

A lot of the people at my office think I'm a mental case, but they seem to be a bit more polite about it than your lot! I just scrolled through your earlier posts and saw your mug which is AWESOME :)
ReplyDeleteIgnore the colleagues! I get that all the time as well. Provided all the exercise you do is to walk to and from the pub and lift a pint, then that appears to make you the expert in everything.
