1000, Boom!

Katie and I babysat our young cousins today. It was fun and they are great kids. They are a boy, a girl and a boy aged 3, 6 and 9. Katie is an excellent babysitter and caring for kids comes to her really naturally. I wouldn't say I'm terrible with children, but caring for kids definitely isn't one of my gifts. I'm finding it easier as they get older and now that I can interact with them on a more meaningful level. 

So much for the exercise plan. I deviated again today and went to an Attack class this evening. It was the same cute, fun instructor from last week. This guy is some kind of group fitness instructor genius, he is so upbeat and he does these funny little actions and dance moves in the tracks. I've never laughed so much whilst working so hard. 

I would love to be one of those people that only look mildly flustered when they exercise. However, I really don't understand why anyone would slather on a full face of makeup before going to the gym. I guess I don't understand for two reasons. Firstly, I'm lazy and I tend only to wear makeup when going out or I'm working and need to look presentable. The second reason is that for me, the gym is not a social activity. I am so unattractive when I exercise. I'm not exactly supermodel material the rest of the time, but when I exercise I go so red in the face I look like a human tomato. I come, I sweat, I leave... and I hope that I don't run into anyone I know in the process! 

I’ve been so surprised by who has been reading this blog thing. My Mum has started following it! I'm excited and a little nervous about that prospect. (Hi, Mum if you're reading!). The blog clicked over 1000 views today, which I've found to be very flattering. I'm chuffed that there are people out there who want to read what I have to write and have enjoyed it enough to make a return visit. Thank you so very much for reading. I will try and reward you for your loyalty and support tomorrow with a more inspiring post!
