    Wow this thread has gone really quiet!

    I went to gym today, first time in a while. Done 4km on bike without stopping, then done another 2.5km as well as 6 minutes on cross trainer, 5 minutes of rowing machine, 5 on treadmill. Not bad considering I haven't done exercise in a while!

    I cancelled the gym thingy that I had booked for yesterday - will call them to reschedule when I know what is going on with the other issue that creept up on me.

    On a positive side though.... 70.9 today which is absolutely great and... up to date with my food diary, I normaly fill it in first kind of plan it and then just follow for the day....

    How is everyone else doing?

  • Slightly more seriously, I started off out for the walk to the market (as that's roughly the right distance for the first day of C25K) and did OK. But as I passed the Buddhist centre, I noticed they had an open session of yoga on in about half an hour, so I sped up, went and got loads of fruit and veggies, then went back.


    It's quite strange; where I used to be quite the gym bunny, with all the Muay Thai kickboxing, pilates, yoga, and the like, some bits came back to me instantly, so I could do them well (to the surprise of the teacher) and some were just hopeless. The pops and crunches from my spine and one hip were quite loud, though. :)

    So after an hour and a half, walked home, dropped off the veggies and went back out and walked round the shops for ages. And treated myself to M&S chilli & coriander prawns, a rocket/chard bag of leaves, some trout fillets and a tiny bit of steak. So there's food for a few meals there.


    I now ache - my hips, particularly. But, it's exercise, and I might be mad enough to go again next week!
