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.

Great work on the loss! You know what, I LOVE running in the rain!! It keeps me cool, but I admit to not loving soggy shoes (I wear my old ones).
ReplyDeletePS: loving your playlist! I'm going to have to update mine a bit now!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ingi, ha ha..I'm not so keen on the soggy shoes either! The playlist is growing thanks to other's suggestions, so if you can think of any that should be here, but not, please let me know and I can add them.
