I thought it might be helpful/motivating to have a place to check-in what we’re doing for exercise: Mine’s not very exciting today: I walked the dog. I have to do something fiddly to my treadmill before resuming couch to 5K, the belt is slipping sometimes when I run and I feel like I’m going to fall off. I either have to adjust the tension or the opposite, not sure.

I did yoga last night - I joined a local studio earlier this year where I pay a set amount per fortnight and it gives me 3 classes. I’m not very good at making it there so have prebooked now so I have to turn up. My Tuesday night class is a Vinyasa Flow and I really like the teacher and her style - it’s a combo of lovely yogic mindfulness, breathing etc as well as a fucking hard workout and I was sweating and felt strong afterwards. Sadly DH had bought chocolate while I was out as I was feeling very slim and virtuous after class but couldn’t resist. @LadySybilVimes - my sister bought this amazing looking treadmill that is really just a walking pad - no handles or anything. I quite like the look of it as it’s so compact. Hope you can get it fixed. I have tried couch to 5k before but my body gets too sore from being jolted (not a natural runner) and I never get past the 5-ish minute runs. Also my running is more like a puffy shuffly jog. It did do wonders for kickstarting my weight loss though. Good luck.

I didn’t do a formal workout today but I did walk over 11,000 steps between going to uni and being the kids taxi service and the groceries. Tomorrow I’m planning a slow 3 km run and some weights before I gorge myself with food and alcohol on the long weekend.

No point starting a healthy diet just before chocolate Sunday, I just cracked open some Cadbury solid eggs I’d stashed for Sunday - told the kids I got them from work.

I did today. I usually use body bands, and do similar. Love supersets and tri-sets, but did it as a circuit today 3 times. Used little weights today, waiting for my dumbbells to arrive.

30 min boxing PT session this morning done. Thought about a 5km run this evening but I made my 12,000 step goal running errands with kids so I’m showered & will be cracking the gin. Made my 27km weekly run goal last week so I’m not chasing my tail too much. Thursday PT has been moved to Wednesday so may need to rejig my run plan. Then Pilates on Friday.

Just finished the dog walk/run. It’s very windy today, so even the little pooch had to try hard in the headwind. I’m thinking very hard about rejoining the gym, I really want to restart my yoga and see where it takes me. Making the time is a big thing for me 😬
