  • I did it!

    The circuit training was actually quite good fun once I got out of the odd sensation of being in my junior school gym hall. I mean, they have the same pull out wooden climbing frame/high jump bars from when I went, the same set of ropes and the same benches.

    I guess I thought school woulda changed but no!

    We started with a warm up run around the school field/leisure centre track, followed by stretches and some more warm-uppy run abouts, then went indoors where a 'lovely' selection of exercises waited - i think it was about 1 minute on each thing, some were weights, some stomach exercises, some just cardio, and the beauty? Push yourself as hard or as easy as you can!

    Anyway, some time later I left and walked home. I don't feel tired so not sure if I worked hard enough, but my muscles ache from the weights so that's gotta be good? Right, dinner is almost done, a spicy pork stir fry bundled into tortilla wraps for ease of eating.

    Good night guys

  • I call it madness!

    I have been trying to be healthy, I've stopped drinking coffee at work and have been taking healthy snacks instead of buying junk.

    Yesterday I went to the gym in the morning and did a pretty good workout - similar to Sunday/Monday. Then I made myself a small roll for lunch, but at lunch time I lost control and had apple crumble with custard for pudding. They served up a massive portion too, but I polished it off regardless.

    Today I went for a work out this morning, I cycled about 6k but I did it at increasing resistances, til I couldn't cope. Then I tried running at intervals of 30 secs slow and 1m-1m.30 of fast as poss. I did this for 15 minutes and got up to a maximum speed of 12kph! Only for about 90 seconds though.

    I also did a small selection of weights and sit-up type things before coming home and getting ready for work. Now though? I am sitting in my gym gear, I'm going back for more... well kinda.

    I've signed up for a Circuit training class at 7.15pm - so I'm hoping I don't collapse. I have lots of energy at the moment so it'll be good, and tomorrow is a definite rest day. I'm trying to stay off the net a bit more, as I'm conscious that I could lose a whole day sitting on my bum blogging, so I apologise if I miss any of your news.

    Right, best get my shoes and use my puffer before i head out. Oops, meant to cut the veggies for dinner before I went so hubby can cook tonight (we had dominos deliver our dinner last night) but I ended up blogging instead. ooops.

    Have a relaxing evening and I'll try and sweat some for all of you!
