Investing In Me
I quit smoking in October - I’ve always quit when I’ve been pregnant, breastfeeding etc, but I’ve found it hard to stay off them indefinitely. Now a lot of the stress in my life is being addressed I decided the ciggies had to go first. Amazingly it was a piece of piddle to quit this time round. I did it for myself. I stuck a fiver a day in a jar (yep I was a 20 a day girl). In the January sales I invested in this beauty - a reebok cross trainer. It was reduced from £299 to £150 (that’s about $300 US). I got it at argos sale - oh and that’s the catalogue picutre, not my house (oooh noooo with 3 kids my house always has bits and pieces on the floor).
Anyhow, I love this bit of kit. The first 10 minutes are a bit of a slog, but then I get into auto pilot. I also got a DAB radio and I found this brilliant station to workout to. It’s called Gaydar radio. They play really great workout music on there. There’s not much chit chat on there, just good music. What chit chat there is is quite good though, I’m not gay so I’m getting a bit of an insight into the scene - hey I have 3 daughters you never know when you might need to be supportive! Have a listen for yourself though it is really good for workouts www.gaydarradio.com
I digress - I started at about 20 minutes on the cross trainer. Now I do 40 and some sit ups. It’s great I just let my mind go and step in pace to the music.
