Week 2, Day 3
Ok, Week 2 is here, and weigh in day has arrived. Woo Hoo - I lost another 1.8kg - that's a total of 6.9kg lost since sign up.
Mindset: I have to admit I was pretty slack last week when it came to exercise. I had such a busy week, with so much to get done, and somehow I allowed things to get in the way. So, after giving myself a swift kick up the bum I decided that this week was not going to be a repeat of last week.
Exercise: Monday night we went to the gym and did our workout session - cross-trainer, interval training on the treadmill, rowing machine, and a few other exercises. Tuesday - I went to a Power class at Body & Soul gym here in Ballarat. I found that last week's session of Power I had problems with the lunges - calves cramping badly and I really didn't feel that I gave that workout my all. This week the trainer Mel gave some alternatives to lunges - to do a narrow and then a wider squat. It kept my heart rate up, kept the burn happening, and I came out of it feeling hot and sweaty. I truly felt I gave it my all tonight, and today I am feeling a little stiff and sore - which tells me that it was an AWESOME workout for me! If I can walk fine the day after training, then I haven't trained hard enough!
Food: Food has been great - found some new and exciting recipes that I know I am going to be making for a long time to come. Still can't stop thinking about the char-grilled eggplant & capsicum cous cous salad - yummo!
Coming up: It was a pretty ordinary day here yesterday - quite a storm. Keeping an eye on the weather this morning, but thinking it might be a gym day instead of walking the Lake. I'm not a fan of walking in the rain. That might be a bit soft, but that's just me. I'm not letting it stop me from getting a great workout - I'll just choose inside rather than out in the weather.
