Creeping Up
My weight is creeping up. I did well with food until just before bed when I gave in. I didn’t go as bad as usual and given I’d walked for 220 minutes yesterday and went to the gym I thought I would be okay, but evidently not as I went up a pound today. I have to really curb my eating!
I don’t have anything strenuous planned today. I am just going to catch up on housework and maybe fill out an application. I do need to get a walk or something in though. I just hope the weather improves as it is raining out!
You know, music has a profound effect on my exercise efforts. Yesterday in the gym I was feeling quite lethargic and going at it on the XT at a pitiful 8.7 but then I Can’t Speak French by Girls Aloud (shh don’t tell anyone!) came on my ipod and I was able to crack it up to a more respectable 10.0! And that in turn helped me to motivate my body into a more strenuous workout once I hit the treadmill. I have started doing ongoing running again instead of HIIT. HIIT is good in terms of fitness levels, I certainly feel knackered afterwards, but it was good to do ongoing running again. I think I am going to concentrate on that for a while now.
