Today I made it to the gym again, one hour on the cross trainer, followed by about ten minutes on Power Plate. I kept pushing harder and harder the whole time, used the guy on the cross trainer next to me to compete with. I managed aroung 580 calories on the cross trainer. It felt amazing. I never thought I'd be a gym person but I love it. Althought I think it's time to start mixing it up a bit. Today I signed up for a Total Toning class with a friend for next Monday after work, so there's a good start. I've been thinking about it for ages, but now might be about time to give jogging a go.. It's so good for you. I've just always been so bad at it. Maybe I'll set myself a deadline when I'll try to go for my first ever jog, and get as fit as I can before then so that I don't totally embarrass myself. I'm thinking the next time I go back to my parents, so 21st October, will be my first jog. That's just under two weeks to get ready. Lot's of cross trainer between now and then.
I got in today, ate a reasonably healthy tea (hummous and wholemeal pitta, carrot sticks, olives) but followed it up with quite a few chocolate raisins.. Hopefully they're not too bad for you. At least it's quite a lot of fibre.
Then I jut came upstairs before I got stuck in front of the telly and had a shower, then put on the my new Mark Lanegan CD and tidied up a load of stuff in my room. It's hard living in a houseshare, all of your possessions have to be in the one room whereas people with their own place get a whole house.. Anyway, I feel much better with my room that bit tidier. I'm so messy... Although someone once told me it's a sign of being creative. I'll go with that.
Tomorrow I'll have to go for dinner to support my hosuemate I think, so I'll have to skip the gym. I'll try out the workout from yesterday again, see if I do any better.. And I'll do a bit more tidying.
