Day1 So today was the day, but somehow the weather took us by surprise and we ended up indoors the plank, leg ups stepping up on the stairs the latter being a bit of a challenge.
Day 2 Eat Your Carrots!
Today we went out to the park, and it was tense at the beginning, petty things irritating us - raised voices - all before we left the house!!
What about the walk to the park? hurry up he says, you are taking too long, why are you frowning?!
Anyway we stretched!
we jogged - it's time to declare - I don't care what the experts say in fact I don't even care what my husband says - I hate running, it is the most vile exercise ever!. Any- way it turns out that I drag, so I can run a bit, but i drag because my body leans backwards like Michael Johnson, and well I'm no athlete. So that was the diagnosis. Also apparently my fear of falling is irrational, but if I can feel that I am going to fall how can this be irrational? !
Its amazing what you'll notice too when you are looking down on a stretch of ugly grass, I am sure that I caught sight of some tiny insects furrowing around emitting some sort of light!
The conversation was me " I don't like leg ups" The colonel " nobody likes them, they're good for you" well knock me, sent me reeling back to my childhood when grown ups told you to eat your carrots they're good for you, you will see in the dark. I mean really??
Day 3 Weds - I had a dream!
Well officially this is a rest day, - so no suicide rungs , no press ups oh oopsy have not been doing any of those, but anyway you get my drift, ok dare i say this, I had a dream last night weird and random, that Dennis removed the shower from our bath- room, and when I challenged him about it, he was rather confused and said " but what now, its coming back", its just a temporary move, temporary for what I wondered, the rest of the dream was rather hazy. !
Well in my wisdom (now there's a joke) I've decided that this was some crazy metaphor for the fact today is a rest day. !
Now , I don't know what the outcome of these two weeks will be, but the one thing I have confirmed is that fit people even those trying to help you do not get what is like to not be fit, or unable to exercise properly, there is a complete lack of empathy. I think inherently they think all unfit people may be lazy! So that is why when you know you are trying very hard, they will say you are not trying hard enough.
Day 4!
OK, today Lieutenant wimped out on me, let's go I said at 9:36am fully dressed bar my trainers.- ooh I'm knackered he moaned- imagine that, So at 2:45pm we rocked up at Wardown park.!
what we did:
- ran up the stairs several times!
- leg ups!- this was a hard shift, in the end, he stood behind me and I held onto his legs. Made it much more bearable, but still bloody hard.
- running up stairs several times,
-jogging,
-the plank!
Mr Akiti refused to let me use the mate for he plank or leg ups evil, evil I say.!
quote of the day " this is not tae kwan do"! This in reference to how I kicked.
what I learnt!
- the lack of empathy !
- the evil streak!
- I over think things!
- but I did get a well done - you've improved !
Day 5: I'm beginning to realise my fears are unfounded, and generally hold me back! I'm unbalanced ( explains so much) !
My fear all centres around one thing pain! !
So today I was asked to do frog leaps starting from the squat position now this re- sulted from my inability to sit into a squat without leaning forward! So when I could not do that he asked for the frog jump! Now this is the thing, I got down into the squat position easily but to leap up was a different matter, why because I was cared I'd not get down again without feeling pain! Anyhow we went through it several times, many of them with Dennis telling me to stop thinking and just do it, I was beginning to think he was being sponsored by NIKE I mean the irony of it!
Day 6! No creature comforts!!
So today seemed to be about the plank! ( I sill hate running! ) I got extra for pulling a face and sighing! Right lance corporal is my husband! !
He also had a go at me because thinking we were going to do leg ups I was sad that we did not bring the mat! You don't need the mat he bellowed you don't need those creature comforts! I have no comeback
Day 7!
This was officially a rest day, oh boy I needed it, however I did go to Zumba an out of the ordinary class for me as ordinarily I would have been at Tkd for me and I went in MK with my friends, had the most amazing time! This fairness thing is taking so much longer than I'd like , although I have seen massive benefits already! Having my friends at TKD did make me a bit on the hyperactive side!
Day 8!
I have to say it, today was amazing so I went out with lieutenant colonel akiti and yes I got punished again... more plank,I did 4x 30 seconds 1 x 40 seconds, and more running. and leg ups, the surprising thing though was that I was able to do these things, my running does not seem to me to have improved, I try very hard, but the lieutenant colonel may not see that, if he does he does not show it. !
