Monday is here.....

Saturday was a great night with lots of booze and food, totally over indulged as per usual, made sure I had ate properly during the day as I have a tendency to not bother and then end up hugging the toilet shouting for Hughie at the end of the night, not a good look! There was lots of dancing so Im sure that also counts as exercise.....

Ending up buying a new dress which is not what I wanted to do as Im trying to save at the moment, but everything I tried on I just didnt like, really need to banish this tummy its making me miserable unless black leggins are involved. Mr H said I looked lovely and even told me the next day he could really see the definition in my calve muscles now, was really chuffed as its only been 4 weeks continous at classes and obviously only my first week running. I did start classes back in October but took some sort of sickness bug after I started so when I say I have been there for 4 weeks thats me starting back after a 6 week break with Christmas etc.

So Sunday came and I was up at 9am, I can never sleep long after a night on the razzle, so up I got and I didnt feel too bad at all. In laws turned up unexpected so we took them to lunch, another indulgance! Got home and then come tea time it looked nice out so on I popped the Reeboks, and my sons hoody as all mines were in the wash and I completed my first week on the C25K, found it just as tough as the one on Friday but so glad I made the effort, what I didnt realise and this is why I was finding the walking bit so long was I was walking 90 second and jogging 60 second, this week that changes and I know Ill find it tough as my calves are getting quite sore. Not sure if I need to change shoes or I just need to build these muscles as they have never been used properly before, going to America in June so going to try and hold out for new shoes till then.

Tonight I had my double class Body Attack which is my Arch Nemesis, this class never gets any easier and with the amount of Jumping Jacks, high leg kicks and squat jumps you really need to make sure your pelvic muscles are in tact! Next I had Body Pump, this pump class is a bit different from my one on a Thursday as this teached just focuses on two body parts, tonight it was biceps and shoulders, I found it quite tough especially the shoulder track and was shaking at the end but felt good when Id finished. I tend to get sore wrists so will need to strap them and I am beginning to get sore ankles too, going to look like a mummy soon if I need to strap too many body parts!

Tomorrow is my rest day and Im looking forward to it, feeling my legs quite tired, think my body has went into shock with all this exercise.

Tips for the day
1. Practice your pelvic floor exercises before you start an Attack Class, if not invest in some Tenna Lady.
2. Wear gloves running in the cold, I found out the hard way and believe me it was so much better on Sunday with a pair of wooly gloves (my sons of course)

So this week Im embarking on week 2 and Im sure there will be tears, Im sure there will be tantrums but hey Im a girl and Im allowed.

Weigh in on Wednesday, not looking forward to it so may go MIA.
