New

...shooooes ahem boots!


Its a new pair of Wellington's... not a pair of nikes!


better still they are Hunter Wellies :D

I got the kids ones because my feet are only little which means they don't swamp my feet and they cost half the price. Bop bop! 

You won't believe this but my last pair of wellies went missing! During the snow times I left them at my front door to dry off thinking that nobody would want a pair of pink wellington boots. I was wrong as they disappeared and have never been seen again. Oh well there is a little random info for you. 

Today I did the new body combat routine and la la loved it. It has the teenage dirtbag song which reminds me of being 15. It was also a good work out which I was pleased about because the last few releases have been less than stellar. I seen my mother briefly and she gave me my new boots so that was nice. Tonight has been relatively quiet hence the Saturday night blog post but that suits me fine because its freezing again outside and Glasgow is covered in mist which makes going out kinda spooky.

I have been really good lately and sticking to my stretching routine every night and have even started doing a weekly yoga class which is much more enjoyable than expected. If you are hesitant to try yoga... don't be! It really is a pleasant work out, relaxing, and very good for you too :) For more info on yoga check out this link

Well I don't have a lot else to say but heres my schedule for the week ahead...

Next weeks plan

One Hundred

Happy 100th Post Bloggy :)

Sale Bargain (trainers not the cat)


aaaand pose! fierce Darcy fierce!

My trainers were reduced to less than half price in the sales! I was mega pleased. Obviously when I went to photograph them Darcy wanted to hog the limelight. One day I will post something I've purchased other than sports gear maybe I will even buy a dress!  

The gym and pool were still closed yesterday which was a bit frustrating so after some shopping I indulged in a free trial at Paris' family chain... 
I did a little over one hundred laps of their little pool and got a good workout in the near empty gym so I left rather pleased. I should start reviewing gyms I visit as I really do take full advantage of these free trial things. I had one for Virgin Active but it made me wish I was rich so I could actually become a member so perhaps not. Anyway! Later I got a sports massage which was amazing and has made my legs feel brand new. It was long overdue and definitely something I need to get more often especially if I continue to run as much! Its been a good second day to the year and I have reached post number 100! Wowzer.

Have you had any good sale buys? What are they? Where is your favorite shop for bargains?


Love

Lush

Total lack of words in my last post so I am more than likely going to make up for it in this update ;) you have been warned!

Today the gym re opened which was a welome relief! I missed swimming a lot and the two days out of my routine made me quite the anxious mess. I realise a lot of that is eating disorder related and just tried to be strong and kept in mind that it was only 2 days and not the end of the world. Admittedly I did got out a run in treacherous conditions, slipped, fell and hit my hip off the concrete. When the City has become an ice rink it is not sensible to go running. Luckily I was the only lunatic out running about and nobody was around to witness my comical fall. I came across a new park and I noticed some swans huddled by a tree which informed me that the smooth bit of 'land' was in fact a icy pond. Don't worry I used common sense and found a relatively safe football pitch to do some laps.

Later I hit up the Christmas sales which were disappointing to say the least but I did get...



Snow fairy! It smells lush... funny that?

Every shopper looked like bambi as the ice was actually lethal! I am so over this Winter weather!
