Ok....stop press... yesterday I was actually really looking forward to going to the gym... but not just a little bit like alot!!!! I couldn't wait to get out of the office and into the gym... I think there must be something in the air! Lol! Got to the gym and headed straight on to the running machine... I did a 5 minute warm up walk then followed by a 30 minute run at 4 miles an hour and a 4 incline ( I don't really know what gradient the 4 is in but it's not flat..maybe going up a massive hill gentle slope) ....agh it was so good... very hard but felt so good. I did the whole thing and only had about 4x30 second breaks where I reduced the speed to 3.7 also I ran non stop for the first 15 minutes... I know that sounds so pathetic to some but it is great for me! I have to say I loved it... I loved it when I had sweat stinging my eyes...sardonic I know... I loved it when I thought I can't do any more but I did ....and I loved it the most when I had finished....! That feeling of accomplishment is amazing! After I had completed my run I did a couple of toning exercises but the gym was getting quite full so didn't do everything I wanted to. The main area I want to work on is that pouch area below your belly button(the lower abs) ... I found a couple of videos on line that seemed quite good so nicked a few of their moves. I hate that area... that is the area that truly makes me feel overweight and really like an old woman...
I'm feeling really good this week ... I am feeling motivated and strong and feeling like my body is making a slight change.I think it' going to the gym... I am just feeling alot healthier and stronger. Food wise everything is going well, trying to stick to just daily points and if I do go over I am swapping my activity points first. I think planning my meals ahead is really working as I have more control of what I can eat during the day! Tonight we are having Trout cooked in the oven with Mediterranean vegetables.
One Day...
Tonight is my night off from the gym off but have got cleaning to do instead...luckily Biggy is helping me instead. Tomorrow will be cross trainer and then Friday will be running again! Loving it.....!
That picture made me chuckle!! I'm on week 2 of getting back on track and struggling with cravings. I know it gets better but it's hard! Well done on your run!
Cravings are so hard....my battle at the moment is the big box of chocolates that permanently sit on the front desk in the office for all to see.... it's just staring at me! x
