Trials and tribulations
Oh my goodness!! You will not believe what happened, I had the longest blog ever all typed out and ready to publish then my internet conked out on me, so one day later...CRAP!!!
So I'll try to remember what I'd written and hopefully this time I get to post.
Have had an uneventful but busy work week. I haven't had much time for blogging as you can tell by the age of my last update, but I have tried to keep up with what's going on for all of you even if I haven't left comments. I didn't finish my 7k walk programme even though I fully intended to do so. I went to the gym last week all psyched up and got on the most tempermental machine ever. Darn treadmill stopped after 20 min and 1.5 miles and wouldn't let me do any more!! So I quickly jumped onto another treadmill and tried to resume my earlier momentum but alas! After 15min I was hard done and just wanted to scream. I ended up doing 35min of walking and 30min on the eliptical, and burned a lot more calories than I would have just walking. I think for me this signifies a change of mindset. I think in the past if something like that had happened I'd have been happy with the 35min work out and wouldn't have pushed myself to do any more, called it a day and hit the showers. The whole of last week though I spent a lot of time fighting with myself over whether or not I would go to the gym, and when I got to the gym I'd be telling myself I didn't want to exercise and would end up doing almost 30 more minutes of activity than usual. I like this new me that doesn't let me give up, I hope to keep up this attitude. Nothing feels sexier than pushing yourself and achieving goals then pushing a little harder yet.
On the eating front, I haven't been terribly good or terribly bad, just average with a bit of splurge here and there. I'm starting to experiment with different amounts of breakfast because I find I get really famished after cardio and tend to snack more than necessary thr0ughout the day as a result. Any ideas to curb this would be great.
Ok, I'm off to update myself on what you guys have been doing while I've been away trying to get my internet back online.
Happy easter all.
