Hoppity 101

Things to remember:
Lose 10kg
Do lots of upper-body work
NOTE: do this BEFORE you have to cart your lard around on crunches (as Noddie calls them).
Leave the packing tape in the bathroom (to do up the garbage bag over your cast when you shower).
Put scissors near towel, clothes etc so you can get the bag off after the shower.
You can bite through packing tape if you have to.
Don't try and do anything in the dark. There WILL be something to trip over.
The Naked Gun movies are hilarious.
Watching more than one at a time makes your brain hurt.
Don't pack away your bling - leave it hanging up where you can see it to remind you that being an athlete is a state of mind, not just activity.
Have a book at each sitting-down spot (kitchen, loo, couch, bed) so you don't have to cart them around.
A ham, cheese and tomato sandwich and a cuppa takes six trips to the fridge.
There's no hurry.
Having Noddie away at Nanny's for a sleepover and J away working on our rental house was lovely and peaceful.
I'm so glad they're back.

It's amazing how frustrating simple things become when you're incapacitated. You'll just get it right when you're coming off the crunches, I'm sure :D

that's a great list! it makes so much sense, even without a cast on foot.

hope you are feeling better.

When I was on crutches after spraining my ankle I would crawl to the toilet in the night because I couldn't be bothered with the crutches.

Think of all that upper body work you are getting with the crunches!

Great list. Amazing what we all take for granted in life...six trips to the fridge is a lotta work on crunches for your sandwich and cuppa...

LOL at the list. Why didn't I write one, would have saved a whole lot of cursing. Will borrow some tips for the 19th. Keeping Hopping

this gave me flashbacks: A ham, cheese and tomato sandwich and a cuppa takes six trips to the fridge .

i'd almost cry if i forgot anything.

and not only do you not pack away the bling, you keep reading the blogs. it helps you feel connected when your body might be sending you doubts.

so where is the mention of the porky's trilogy?
