It's my birthday today. I just had some delicious key lime pie!
I'm on week two of the Rebel Fitness training thing. The first week was hard - I ached all over for days, especially my thighs from the squats. This second week is a bit easier and I'm not so stiff, but I did some yoga on Sunday and I think that helped a lot. I've managed two separate half hours of other exercise on the off days, but that was because I had to cycle to the Royal Mail sorting office twice.
I keep thinking while doing them that the exercises should be more of a challenge, but by the time I've finished I don't think that at all. But it's still hard not to push myself to do more that I can. Cunningly, the exercises have built in rests of 90 seconds between reps to stop people doing exactly that.
In other news, Thor! I watched it a couple of weeks ago with
tarteaucitron and sadly remembered nothing apart from the vitally important fact of how hot Loki is and how much he loves Thor. I might've been a bit tipsy. I watched it again this week and it's actually quite good! Plus I have a medium-to-large crush on Tom Hiddleston now.

I'm just lazy and hiding behind the "I'm busy as all hell shield" - I don't lead a totally sedentary life. I do quite a few walks to and from the boy's school in any one day. A round trip is a good 35 minutes of brisk walking. And on the way in I do carry a backpack that feels like there are bricks in it. (Lord knows what the teachers make them bring in to school!)
Once again in case in got lost there .. Happy Birthday dear!
Hope you have cake and tea, and maybe even wine! *HUGS n cheers!*
