We can all be forgiven for going a little astray last week. I somehow managed to lose stress weight, but also spent a lot of time cooking and eating for comfort. I guess I lost a bit of water weight - I wonder if not wanting to use the toilet too much while the water was off was part of that?
Anyway, I'm pretty much back at the end of week one now, weight wise, but easing myself back into things.
I did no activity last week but my mid-week game of netball and some pretty gentle, short walks. Man, was that game of netball hard work. My lungs were heaving by the end of it, but I made myself go, so I could get the runaround I badly needed, and of course, forget about what had just happened for a while.
So this week, as my team can't go back into the offices in town yet, we've relocated to Pioneer. From an exercise standpoint, I'm loving being here.
I've done a gym work out, Monday and Tuesday, and today I went to my first ever spin class with the awesome Jacquie Hibbs.
I guess I've been kind of reluctant to try spin. Would I cope as I don't even own a bike? Would I be able to adjust the bike? What actually happens in a spin class? But it was great. A really good work out, and you can go at your own pace. Get along and try a class. 9:30am Wednesdays at Pioneer peeps!
Tonight, I have indoor netball. The big struggle for me has always been not eating too much after exercise. I mistakenly believe I can stuff myself silly once I've worked out. I've had a sandwich now, and I'll have some dinner when I get home later. No more post-quake desserts for me!
How's everyone else doing???
