Gym update

[f4f3]

In all the excitement, I guess I forgot to keep y'all posted on my exercise regime (because I know you're just hanging on the edge of your seats out there).



This week,

Monday lunchtime, 30 minutes x-trainer, 2X5 minutes on the bike and still got back to work on time
Wednesday lunchtime, as above
Wednesday Night, timed things so I arrived just before the second half of the Celtic v Rangers match, warmed up on the bike and then 45 minutes (plus injury time) on the x-trainer nearest a TV screen. I was on my way down the pool afterwards when my yoga instructor spotted me passing and hauled me in for the last part of her class (I don't go on a Wednesday because that's the advanced class) which consisted of 30 blissful minutes of relaxation.
Thursday morning, the usual, Thursday night quite a quick session since I wanted to get back and do some writing, so only 15 minutes on the x-trainer.
The gym was quite busy this morning, so bike and 20 minutes. That left me time for a quick swim (I'm thinking of having a swim for my warm-down instead of 10 minutes on the bike). No sauna, since some numpty had forgotten to switch it on.

And that's about it for this week. No badminton, since I was away on Tuesday and watching football on Wednesday, so I'll try and make up for it next week.

I had my blood tested on Tuesday, and I've got a doctor's appointment on Monday to go through the results. My blood pressure was ok, though, and my weight is down since I was last weighed. Just a couple of kilos, but since I'm fairly sure I went up a fair bit before I joined the gym (curse you and your great weddings, Mr King) I'm not letting that worry me.

Good for you :)

You don't want to be shedding weight any faster than that, anyway. Lose weight really fast and your body will go into 'famine' mode, and will try that bit harder to hang on to any and all fat it can. Thus are metabolisms broken :-/

Slow weight loss is the way forward.

My only worry at the moment is that my body is craving the exercise - I had a flu shot on Tuesday, and was a little bit achey on the Wednesday, but refufused to give up my two sessions. Bad boy!

If that's the worst thing ... seriously, unless it becomes pathological, I wouldn't worry about a little exercise addiction.

For completeness sake, forgot about the hour long yoga class on Thursday night...

Have just emailed this list to K, with the caption 'feeling ashamed yet?'

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Tell him I was feeling guilty about how little I've done this week...

I'm so proud, you're doing so well... YAY!!!
Now you realize... we're gonna want before and after pics... ;)

Hah! Well the shots of me at Bill's wedding count as before...

[eidechsenengel.livejournal.com]

I've seen them before, as I remember liking your knees... did you take them down?

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Should still be up there in my list of pics - let me know if you can't see them and I'll post some more: can't promise kness, though.

[eidechsenengel.livejournal.com]

Hmm,no... can't see 'em... saw them before, I know it... I definitely remember knees! ;)

Have a look in my user info - it should say "user pics less than 10" or something like that in the link.

Which reminds me - you've still to post red skirt photos!

[eidechsenengel.livejournal.com]

When that red skirt fits a little less like a sausage skin, I'll gladly post some leggy pics... ;) However, I did go to the link for your pics, and there's only one little cartoon... no pics... :(
