Not getting any fitter...............

Since 20th April, my human has been doing 3 Zumba classes a week (sometimes 4) and since 1st May she has been swimming in the sea 5/6 times a week.


We came back to St Ives on 17th April and since then my human has walked up the very steep hills to our house at least twice a day (and sometimes 4/5 times a day).


Our house in St Ives is a maisonette and to get to our front door we have to walk up 26 steps. Once inside, every time Ann wants to go to the toilet she has to walk up 13 stairs.........................


In Edinburgh our flat is on the 4th floor, but there is a lift and most of our walks don't involve walking up steep hills.


…....................OK, she does sit on our very sunny sun terrace a lot and she does drink a lot of wine, but while sitting on on very sunny sun terrace, she reads stories in trashy magazines about people who loose half a stone in a week once they start swimming or doing Zumba classes??????????


My human thinks she must have a really weird metabolism. We don't have any scales here so she doesn't know what she weighs. What she does know is; her fitness levels haven't improved in the last six weeks. She still can't stand on one leg without holding onto the wall when she does the 'cool down' at Zumba. She still can't walk up the hills without puffing and panting. And no way has she achieved a 'beach babe bod' yet??!!


Oh well, ho hum, at least she's happy so I'm guessing she hasn't got 'mental health' issues.


…............And this is a Blip of me on Porthminster Beach this morning. I usually go for a walk along all the beaches first thing so that Ann can check out which is the best beach to swim on.
