Losing momentum.

The following year, I lost interest in the DVD.
It had become too repetitive.
The voice of the character which is encouraging and enthusiastic sounding at first, becomes too drone like when you are lying on the floor raising your legs to echoes of 'keep good form' or 'I'm feeling ya' yet again.

We continued to run but the other half's work pattern changed as redundancies kicked in, he couldn't get away so early ,so sometimes it was just too late to feel like running together when he got home from the long commute and just wanted his dinner and the TV.

Only my skipping rope persisted.

I found myself missing a day here and there though even so.
By Christmas, I was getting depressed as redundancies still loomed in the background and another of the other half's work colleagues was given the push.

Then there were 2

Both the young people were away much of the year and I was alone all day .
I started learning to use the computer more. Not for exercise but to do photoshop.
I got much better at it in a couple of months and was offered some home work on a casual basis.
By the middle of the year, I was working all week and there was hardly a moment to breathe.
The exercise was completely abandoned.
