Gym update 1.2 and 1.3

Ahh... Sunday started with no electricity and a need to laze... so went out everywhere and explored 'China Town' in Joburg... and went hither and tither ... except gym... came back home 4 ish to find no electricity.. so went out again to check out "The help"... awesome movie! :) ... 

came home late and hence less sleep... and consequently no gym on Monday 10th Oct as well... :/... will compensate at home. Lets' see! ... Weirdly happy for a Monday, no reason at all! ..

Gym... errmm 1.1 :P

Oct 8th 2011: Yippee I got up and went, drag or no drag while getting up from bed.. :D... ok today I did 6 min stepper warm-up, 16 mins bike, 20 min on the tread mill ( cant run full-on, I have a pestering right knee), then I did cross-trainer for 15 mins roughly and finished by v v slow walking cool down on the tread mill again. 

Hubby also didn't complain getting up, the trick was a full good nights' sleep... early mornings' are a matter of sustained habit - still can get .. umm.. not tiring.. but yea, its a habit 'to be inculcated'. :) Happy Saturday everybody!

Laziness....Missed Gym

Today the battle to peel myself outta bed was unsuccessful .... The bed won, and after staring at my kitchen slab for 5-10 minutes ( I don't know why I walk upto kitchen and stare at stuff on days when I miss gym.. as though they are gonna encourage me to go eh...) I went back to bed. 

7th Oct 2011: Missed Ben's class ... :/

Will try compensating by doing something else later... hopefully...

5:50 pm and I managed to salvage non-gym day by doing 600 skips at home , along with plank exercises.... phew!

Gym - 2

I don't know how many g's getting up at 5:20 a.m. in the morning induces... today it felt like 4g's .... :P ... I had to peel myself out of the bed and wonder how'd I boast about going to gym if I don't go at all ... :D ... Hence, the need to show-off pushed me to go and exercise. 

I also religiously drag my husband, who in turn everyday religiously complains 'It's too cold out', 'I have a headache coz of lack of sleep', 'What if I faint in the gym coz of sleep' and more such .... :D And like a true-blue wifey I do some yodeling, sing out of tune songs, threaten, nudge and sometimes simply literally drag one of his legs out of the bed to get him going. :D ( Utter and pure torture I know .... hehe)  - my pleasure! 

6th October 2011: Did cardio ... 5-6 min stepper warm-up, 15 minutes bike, 10 min treadmill, 15 min cross-trainer and another 10 min of rowing.

Gym update...

What better to do with a blog than update certain routines that if listed out in public can be self-motivational to be persisted, hopefully everyday. 

So I will list what I did with my gym or exercise routine, in hope of some several billion years' down the line of losing some sort of weight.... as of now the picture is bleak.. after 9 months of umm regular (?!... 3-4 days avg in a week) gymming my weight has actually increased. I frantically searched the internet and some say its muscle increase  - hopefully it is converting some flab into muscles.. else I am in a state of alarm :/.... I don't have a very responsive or easily workable constitution... it takes time and I know that quite well.

So, I am randomly starting updates from TODAY.. I went to gym yesterday as well.. but the updates are gonna be today and henceforth kinds.. 

5th Oct 2011: Attended Ben's class 6- 7 am at Virgin Active: 1 hour of Katabox (its like kick-boxing but not exactly the same).
