This week’s Reasons To Be Cheerful and WOTW
By Jeannette | February 12, 2015
Yippee! It’s nearly Friday and half term is looming. Nearly time for a break from school runs and the chance to spend some family time together – which is a R2BC in itself – hopefully without too many squabbles.
We have plenty more Cheerful things this week:
1. Jogging
Erm, yes me! I’ve started jogging, with a view to increasing stamina and fitness.
I’m following the schedule above and there have been achy thighs but I’m enjoying it.
Hopefully T and D will be amenable to a bit of jogging around next week as I’d like to keep it going.
2. A defender
D attended a girls football tournament this week and earned herself 3 house points for playing in defence. She struggles with team play and had anxieties in bucket loads over the change to routine but did very well.
We are a very football-orientated house as Hubbie and T are heavily involved in “the beautiful game” every Saturday, so it was a proud Daddy moment when she showed us her certificate for taking part.
3. Result!
I kicked a big phobia up the backside this week, feeling extremely positive about it.
4. Wellbeing
I am feeling so much better in myself, getting more achieved (rather than putting things off) and my doctor remarked on how much happier I was at my appointment today. I am, it’s true.
5. The Fitbit
I’m enjoying going for the 10,000 steps target a day, sometimes 2,000 or so over. I’m hoping to keep that up during half term.
6. A bonus
…to all this increased activity and happier thoughts is that I’m 4lb down in the last couple of weeks. Very pleased.
A word to sum up our week?
It’s been a good one – anxieties aside. Let’s see what half term brings.

Fabulous reasons. I really do think that exercise is so beneficial for our peace of mind as well as health and weight loss.

Thank you, I guess one complements the other – healthy mind, healthy body 🙂
