Shake Weight

Losing the Wobble Arms!

My kids have the greatest sense of humour. 

We do spend a lot of time laughing together.

We were in the car yesterday when my middle son had me in stitches without even realising why. We were talking about how it was a little bit sad that we didn't have another younger child to watch grow up now. Our youngest is 6 and everything with her is now the last time . We were reminiscing about what she used to call her brothers when she was small. 

She said she would like a younger sister. I said, "No mummy is too old to have another baby now darling." To which my middle son replied...

"Yes, that's why we are getting a puppy!"

I don't know why, but it made me laugh and I am still laughing. 

This summer should have been a difficult, crazy summer with all the building work going on, but the sun has shone and that has meant we have not been stuck in the house. 

For those of you who live in climates where you get consistent weather I envy you. 

It makes such a difference.

I could happily keep my kids off school for longer and carry on with this chilled out existence until the weather breaks. It looks set to continue this week.

Enough rambling!

One of the things the kids have taken to teasing me about, that I am not so happy with, is my arms. I do have strong arms from many years of horse riding and from lifting 3 kids, but as I have have got older they have become less toned. They have a name for me.......

Wobble arms

But I suppose it is better than what they call their Dad........

Flubber belly

Hmmmm.

A little while ago I mentioned that I had started a toning up routine. I will be honest and say that I haven't been the best at it over the summer, but I am getting back into it now with a vengeance. I have struggled with cooking on one ring and have relied on a lot of carbs and seem to have gained a few pounds . I got this shake weight gadget from Tesco for toning up the arms - it comes with a dvd which takes just 6 mins each morning to do.

I find it easy to incorporate this into what I do and have noticed that the wobble arms are less wobbly! I think there is a more expensive version of this and this is a dupe of the real thing, but it works for me. I wasn't sent this to review. I went to the large Tescos 20 miles from us to get it specially - thats how keen I am to get rid of those wobble arms. Here is the super toned look I will achieve when I have done this workout for 50 million years.

I'll show those kids! They'll be thinking of a new name for me yet!!
