Light up the world

Advent calendar filled and ready to go. 
 

And coming back from gym I thought I deserved a chocolate. Would you believe I was the only person in the gym wearing a Christmas t-shirt? Yes, you probably would. There is me and then there is the slim Scandinavian-looking woman with long blonde hair in black leotard and leggings who spends a lot of time walking around the gym. (Husband says she does it between exercises but I'm not convinced.)

Anyway my heart monitor finally worked properly this morning. We had a few hiccups with it before but today no problems. Unless you count user error.

It tells you what 'zone' you're in i.e. fat-burning, aerobic, anaerobic or lazy. I was reading it and couldn't understand why, even though I was working quite hard - my heart was in the 140s - my time in the fat-burning zone was only a couple of minutes while the others had got up. 

"What do I have to do to get into the fat-burning zone?" I asked Husband.

He looked at my phone. "You're surpassing it most of the time," he said. "It's the next to lowest zone."

That cheered me up no end.

When I was on the cycling machine I was watching television: they had a feature on Christmas jumpers. The presenter was wearing a lighty-up one. You know what's coming next, don't you? Now I want a lighty-up one! (But how do you wash it? An important factor considering how messy I am.)

Postscript

Well, that was foolish. I just googled light-up Christmas jumpers and I am overwhelmed by the choice!
