Well my body can definately tell you that I exercised last night! :) I thought I had been to the gym and exercised before, so I would be ok, hell no! I clearly don't push myself hard enough, which is why this is so good. It started off with a 10 minute cycle on a seated bicycle. That was ok, I was coping, towards the end my inner thighs were burning just a little. Then we went on to do some warm up stretches. Lunges, and situps and thats when I nearly passed out. I felt so light headed, it wasnt even funny. I sat down, had some water and soon I was ready to go again, not really, what I was really ready to do was to crawl into bed... but I perservered, then we alternated, stepping with weights, and a pectoral chest push, and a machine that works your back muscles, and we did 20 reps of those times 2,after that we did some light stretches. Luckily I am so flexible, they were easy. and then, back on to the seated cycle for another 10 minutes. I woke up this morning with the best intentions, to go to gym and continue, but quite frankly, I think I am going to work up to it. I know I have a tendency to go gungho and run full force into everything and then lose momentum, I want to rather take it slowly. Therefore it will become habit, and stick as a lifestyle change.
Lets talk food, I dont remember if I had mentioned that this week I have to watch what I am eating and not go over board, but have 3 square meals a day, plus snacks. Last night I was so tired, there was no way I was going to cook supper, so I caved and we got nandos, I got a vitality meal, which I think is quite good, its a chicken breast, corn on the cob, and a large greek salad. I also had some of my sisters spinach. This morning I have been struggling to choke down my left over berry smoothie from yesterday, the granola has expanded in the liquid and is a totally gross texture... anyway... off to go and renew my licence, wish me luck, I hope the queue is not too mad...
