Thanks! @dancer @JCU @Tileenah - Ankle was just tweaked, it's better now just a bit creaky.
Ugh... It's too hot
, managed a bit of exercising though:-
5 Minutes Raised Arm Hold (EotD) done (Over 3 sets, 2 minutes is about my limit),
Day 30 of Lower Abs done (Took a while but this one is finally complete!),
Avenger (WotD) done (3 sets).
Treated myself to another recipe box, so I'm waiting in for that today, then I can make Mumbar Prawn and Pea Curry for dinner.
See y'all tomorrow!

Figuring out what to do next, tried picking up Arms of Steel where we left off, but neither the Housemate or I could manage a full minute of arm wriggling never mind 12, so we'll restart that one another day.
2 Minutes Side Jacks (EotD) done (In one go),
Over and Under (WotD) done (3 sets, replaced the High Knees with March Steps and skipped the jumping),
Day 1 of Easy Cardio done,
Day 1 of Vitality done (3 sets).
Last night's curry turned out very tasty, tonight is Tacos, Green Chicken Tacos.
See y'all tomorrow!

Another day done:-

),
Day 2 of Easy Cardio done,
Day 2 of Vitality done (3 sets).
I'm 2 for 2 on tasty dinners, let's see if tonight's Coconut and Lime Fish Stew continues the streak, see y'all tomorrow!

50 Plank Arm Raises (EotD) done (Over 3 sets 20/20/10),
So Far So Good (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 3 of Easy Cardio done,
Day 3 of Vitality done (3 sets).
Didn't get to make my Fish Stew last night. Housemate was feeling a bit manic so I had to take her out for a second long walk, and two big doses of being out in the sun was too much for me, all I wanted to do all evening was sleep!
Hopefully, I'll get to make it for tonight's dinner, see y'all tomorrow!

Struggled a bit today:-
15 Tricep extensions (EotD) attempted (Couldn't seem to do this without a lot of elbow pain, replaced them with some Knee Push-ups),
Grasshopper (WotD) attempted (Managed 1 set, but my ankles started hurting so I left it there),
Day 4 of Easy Cardio done,
Day 4 of Vitality done (3 sets).
Still haven't made my Fish Stew
All yesterday Housemate didn't want to go out because it was too hot, then, in the late afternoon, she started panicking that we hadn't been for a walk yet. Two hours later it was too late, and I was feeling too blergh, for dinner.
I'll try again tonight, hopefully the fish is still okay.

Thanks! @JCU - I managed to mostly keep out of the sun yesterday, so I had a decent evening! (Did have to put up with a bit of a miserable Housemate though.)
Another week wrapped up:-
30 Seconds Single Leg Hops (EotD) attempted (I don't know if I'm subconsciously worried about hurting my ankles, but I can't hop anymore. Replaced this with a minute of March Steps),
Standing Core done (3 sets),
Day 5 of Easy Cardio done,
Day 5 of Vitality done (3 sets).
Finally had my Fish Stew, it was worth the wait! Tonight's is BBQ Chicken with Macaroni Cheese.
Also got to tidy up today, couldn't find a book for my weekend reading, they're all in a big pile with my unwatched DVD's.
See y'all tomorrow!

Started getting rather hot exercising today, so I stopped after two sets:-
50 Knee to Elbows (EotD) attempted (2 sets of 20 done),
3 Minute Warrior (WotD) attempted (2 sets done. Think I was doing this one wrong, it seemed too easy for a level 4 workout, I was doing Knee Push-ups though),
Day 10 of Easy Cardio attempted (50 Step Jacks done over 2 sets),
Day 10 of Vitality attempted (2 sets).
I was good and mowed the lawns yesterday, so I've got a free day!
Gonna hide from the sun and do some painting, see y'all tomorrow!

Skipped yesterday, but for good reasons, had 3 street market things to go to, so I needed all my oomph.
Didn't help much though, it was the hottest day of the year (...so far
) and I was dead on my feet before we even got to the first one.
A bit cooler today, so no problem exercising:-
40 Leg Raises (EotD) done (Over 3 sets 20/10/10),
Pacer (WotD) done (3 sets, still can't do single leg hops, replaced with little jumps),
Day 11 of Easy Cardio done,
Day 11 of Vitality done (3 sets).
Gotta do all the stuff I didn't do yesterday, see y'all tomorrow!

Thanks for the cold thoughts! @JCU @PetiteSheWolf @Gandhalfit - Luckily it's cooled down a bit since Sunday, but the news is saying the UK is going to have another 5 heatwaves over the summer with 40C+ temperatures possible, hooray for climate change...
Another day of exercising done (Me only for most of it, Housemate fell asleep during the first rest break):-
60 Squats (EotD) done (3 sets of 20),
Arms and Shoulders (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 12 of Easy Cardio done (Over 3 sets),
Day 12 of Vitality done (3 sets).
Time for the Housemate to get her peepers checked out, so that's going to eat up a big chunk of today (Gotta remember to take a book with me), see y'all tomorrow!

Another day done!
60 Seconds Balance (EotD) done (Almost in one go, my balance is getting better),
Extraction done (Only 2 sets, couldn't Plank after the first set, couldn't Punch after the second. I think I need to see someone about my elbow, it's not getting any better),
Day 14 of Easy Cardio done,
Day 14 of Vitality (3 sets).
I wish clothes companies kept sizes uniform, I picked up a couple nice pairs of shorts yesterday, got my usual size (XXL so they're baggy), tried them on when I got home and they're enormous!
Luckily they have belt loops so I can still wear them.

Interesting, I bought a couple of t shirts yesterday and when I looked at the label the vendor told me to "just open the shirt (folded)and see its size".
How's your elbow?

Thanks! @JCU @Gandhalfit @Tileenah - Elbow's a bit better, it wasn't happy about it but it managed all the punching today, this is why I keep putting off getting it looked at, most of the time it's just achey and stiff, but it's been about 3 months now with no improvement.
No problems with today's workout:-
100 Punches (EotD) done (In one go),
Sucker Punch (WotD) done (3 sets, didn't realise this was a fixed 5 set one),
Day 15 of Easy Cardio done,
Day 15 of Vitality done (3 sets).
Got a cultural festival to go to today, luckily it doesn't look too hot out today, see y'all tomorrow!

Did okay on today's exercises, tried doing Boulder (the Workout of the Day) but only got halfway through the first set before my elbow decided that was enough Planking for today:-
40 Toe Taps (EotD) done (In one go),
Evolution done (3 sets),
Day 18 of Easy Cardio done (3 sets of 30),
Day 18 of Vitality done (3 sets).
Can't do much today, waiting on a Doctors appointment for the Housemate, but there is Peruvian Prawn Chowder for dinner

Thanks! @astro_rae @Matan @Gandhalfit @Fremen @Mamatigerj @JCU - My arm settled down into it's usual dull ache after about an hour or so, but I really need to go to a doctor about it next week, a bit of light dumbbell work shouldn't hurt that much.
Did my morning work out:-
60 Seconds Arm Scissors (EotD) done (In one go),
Hyperion (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 21 of Easy Cardio done,
Day 21 of Vitality done (3 sets).
Plus I've been pushing the Housemate around town all day, so my arm is pretty sore again, but I did get some nice DVD's and books so it's all good!
