Gym Day 1

Today was day one of the gym and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I did the list of week one exercises as best I could with the limited equipment that was on offer but have no been given a list of different equipment that I can use top do the same exercises, so swapping machines for dumbbells etc.

I did 8 reps on each machine with a 5 min warm up and down on the bike. As i did the 8 reps they advise you to change the weight, so on Wednesday I will be upping it by 1 and see how that goes, if I do the 8 reps again then I will up by one again.

Tonight I will get my stats, height and weight and if feeling brave enough will take a below the head shot of my body for the before pic.

Be gentle on me.

So we have had a couple of festive days, with Halloween and Guy Fawkes.

For Halloween I took my soon trick or treating and he got loads of goodies (a lot of them I like to), he was dressed as Count Dracula and his friend who we took along to, was dressed as a skeleton pirate. I have some pics which I will get up here shortly.

We went to a fireworks display Saturday which I managed to get a few shots, which I will get posted here to. My son still doesn't really like them but he did really well to last as long as he did watching them and for that he got a burger afterwards. He is so cute when watching fireworks though, as long as they aren't to loud, he will watch the colours and the explosions but with his hands over his ears so he can't hear the explosions. Sunday was spent at the ex's mums with me chosen as the coordinator and lighter of the fireworks (I was not part of the discussion when this went on). We had4 boxes of fireworks which took about 45mins to get rid of as well as the extra rockets. The neighbours also came round and brought 5 large display rockets, which I am sure are supposed to be for professional displays, but what the hell. When all of those were gone one of the neighbours popped back to there house to light their last one, this was a box and it was huge, just one firework and it lasted for about 5mins, it had a total of 175 shots in which would go in the sir with pretty colours then exploded in to more. The final shot was great and gave the silver rain effect.

Roll on tonight when i can look out my window and see tonight's, which in theory should be the end off it, hopefully my son will come and watch with me or I may take a drive in to the hills and watch from there.
