Service…

March 13, 2012 By jbmumofone 8 Comments

Service…

It is perhaps a bit of a shame that good service has now become so rare in this country that, when it does actually occur, it feels like such a special moment rather than the norm. However, I was on the receiving end of SPECTACULARLY GOOD SERVICE earlier this week.  Don't get too excited miscreants, I was buying new runners. I desperately needed new runners, or at least advice on the footwear front, as have recently been suffering a huge amount of shin pain post-run.  I was back home with the folks and they recommended a small, family run store in the town of Warwick. On arrival we ...

Davina for Next: The conclusion…again!

Davina for Next:  The conclusion…again!

Oops!  Well after feeling all sad last week that the Davina for Next bloggers challenge was over, apparantly there was no need.  As it wasn't!  I was a week early and it actually ends now. Apologies. So, this IS my FINAL official Davina for Next post, promise, although as I am using the stuff on a regular basis it may well pop up here and there in the future. Actually, I am rather pleased that I get to write one more as I finally got my grubby little paws on the MAGIC PUMPS!  They arrived last week and I have been putting them through their paces, pardon the pun. I have so far ...

Davina for Next: Week Three Update

Davina for Next: Week Three Update

Goodness, we are already into the third week of the bloggers "Get fit with Davina for Next" four week challenge and, amazingly, I feel like I am really hitting my stride now. At the start of the month I was really not sure how much, if at all, my fitness habits would change, but receiving the lovely Davina for Next gear really gave me the incentive to give it a go and now I am actually starting to enjoy it....MOST of the time. Last weeks efforts consisted of... WEDS: 5.3K run with Pam.  Mercifully it was a flat route but sadly there was no Monty with us so although there were no ...

Davina for Next: Progress (of sorts) Report

January 24, 2012 By jbmumofone 9 Comments

Ok, time for an update.  I know you have all been waiting with bated breath for news of Sunday's run with the uber-fit Pam (#possiblyslightlydelusional) so I shall make you wait no longer. *Anticipates yelps of delight*... *Watches tumbleweed*... Well I'm going to update you anyway.  So, I was ready and waiting at 10am, feeling pretty snazzy in my new Davina for Next gear.   Have finally got to grips with the elastic laces on the trainers by the way, but think I would probably still prefer normal ones. 10:10 the doorbell rings.  And there is barking.  Barking? It would appear ...

Davina for Next: Mum of One hits the road

January 17, 2012 By jbmumofone 17 Comments

Ok, so it would seem that the fates are conspiring for me to get fit this year.  First, the wonderful folks at Next gave me the lovely Davina for Next gear to try out. Then, the two people I know who actually HATE RUNNING MORE THAN ME, namely my lovely mum and the wonderful Cat from Yellow Days, BOTH suggested running the Race for Life with me.  This is on my Day Zero Project list to do again so am keen to get it ticked off involved. Then, yesterday, my lovely friend Pam who used to drag me out running in order to get me in shape for my wedding, but sadly moved away shortly after, is ...

Belly-busting in style: Davina for Next

Belly-busting in style: Davina for Next

Well, the poor delivery man got the shock of his life when I sprung, panther-like, from behind the front door screaming "GIMME GIMME GIMME!"  Ok, so it wasn't quite that bad but I was EXTREMELY excited this week to receive my get-fit-kit, courtesy of Davina for Next.  It felt like Christmas all over again as I ripped open the packaging and squealed with delight. First to appear was the Davina for Next pink racer-back vest.  I wriggled out of my PJs and into this immediately.  I had worried that the colour may be a little garish but it is actually quite an orangey-pink and I really love it. ...

Belly-busting time again, with a helping hand from Davina for Next.

Belly-busting time again, with a helping hand from Davina for Next.

I have very exciting news ladies, oh yes.  Exercise is about to get easier, and prettier than ever before in 2012 as the lovely Davina herself has teamed up with Next to help us on our way with her new 'Davina for Next' range.  She has designed a range of fitness clothing and shoes that provide both practical, pretty and pound-busting solutions that will knock almost all of our "I can't do anything today because..." excuses right out of the park. Once again my New Years Resolution, like many Mums, is to get fitter, slimmer and more toned.  I aim to be realistic here though.  I KNOW that I ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
