1. Not sure about you, but in order to get
back on the exercise band wagon I usually need to buy myself some new running
gear. Last week was skins! And guess what, I went for one run last week. Not
exactly getting back on the bandwagon, but in my defence the 4km run I thought
I was doing ended up being 7.2km. I hadn’t run for about 3 months and that
7.2km run has left me sore for a week. Nevertheless, I WILL get back in to it
and this time, I won’t run quite so far and try and ease myself back in to it.
Mine are pink
2. I also bought the Napoleon Ultimate
Contour Palette last week in a bid to look a little more put together and less
I-just-got-out-of-bed. The first couple of times I used it I saw no difference.
After looking at youtube and pinterest, I have found how best to contour my
face and I think I am getting better because I got compliments on my makeup
yesterday. That’s a success in my books. Still not makeup-artist looking, so I’ll
keep my day job.
3. I am no music person and in fact I prefer
to NOT listen to music. I can’t listen at work because I need to concerntrate,
I can’t listen on the bus because I like to hear what’s going on around me, I
can’t listen when I walk because I like to be on-guard, It has to be below 10
in the car etc etc. In saying that, I do like feel-good music. London Grammar
definitely does not fit in to this category and makes me feel flat every time,
but I keep going back to it and it has been on repeat this week. I recently discovered
Haim who are feel good and pretty funky too. What music do you like to listen
to? I get over artists pretty quickly, so I like to have a good stream of new
artists coming through… and please don’t tell me Jay-Z or Rihanna because I
just can’t get in to that music.
7.2km run is pretty impressive!! I've been trying to run lately too but after about 3 minutes I feel like I'm going to die so am currently just sticking to power walking lol.
ReplyDeleteI was certainly feeling it after the first 5 minutes, but I was running with someone so just kept up.
DeletePower walking is good, you will build up to running!
That's so interesting that you prefer to not listen to music! I go crazy if I don't have my ipod on public transport!
ReplyDeleteYay for getting compliments on make up - definitely means you're doing well!
Aaaaand I usually find that exercising even when my muscles are sore aids recovery. And sleeping in skins. Seriously... those things are like magic. Back in my refereeing days I used to run literally all weekend, from 9am to about 6pm. Would sleep in my skins and be fine the next day. And you've just reminded me I need to start going running again. I'm also motivated by new exercise gear, and after I bought my new Nikes, I was good for about a week. I should just stop talking about it and just do it!

I will definitely try sleeping in the skins. It would be a bit hot in Summer, but if it helps my sore legs then who cares!
DeleteI am the same - less talking about it, just do it.
