This view almost made me late for Spin class this morning...
Oh yeah, i went to Spin class at 7 this morning. I've a feeling I'll regret that decision when I try to get out of bed tomorrow...

Well look at that, I made it to the gym today.
I know, I'm as surprised as you. I woke up at 7:30 and thought I may as well get up and go to the gym before I had time to change my mind.
Back on the HIIT straight away... it bloody hurt!
Treadmill: 2 minutes sprint, 1 minute rest x3
Stepper: program 3 (interval) level 6, 10 minutes
Stability ball extended crunch x10
Stability ball side raises x 10 each side
3 sets
Elbow - knee crunches x20
Side plank 30 seconds each side
2 sets
I think I'll be a little sore tomorrow... but I've arranged to go to Spin class with a friend first thing, so I'll have to just man up won't I. It's about time I did!

Shock horror, Vicky's done some exercise!
Yeah yeah, I know this thing has been largely redundant for ages now. I'm lame. I've been dealing with some shit in my life, and where I know that exercise helps when I'm stressed, I was still lacking that initial ability to get up off my arse.
The good news is, since my appetite has been kind of screwed as well, I don't think I've put on much weight... I hope not any way.
For the last few weeks my Facebook status has been "Vicky is going back to the gym tomorrow." on average once a week. I've never made it there. Always something better to do, a good excuse - or in some cases, just a complete inability to get of my pyjamas and off the couch before 2pm.
Today I planned to go to the gym, but didn't get there. Still lame. I got as far as putting on my running kit, and convincing myself I'd go for a run - but I needed to eat first. And then I had to let the food go down... and then... and then... I just gave up. But I have managed to do some kettlebell swings, lunges, etc. Am feeling a little more alive. Am hoping this is the start of me climbing out of the hole I've been hiding in for the past couple of months. Am feeling a bit wobbly now though, oops!

I got up late this morning but still managed to make it to the gym, so was pretty impressed with myself! Did a bit of HIIT on the old treadmill. Am still struggling with still being red-faced 2 hours after finishing my workout, but am sure it will improve over time...
Treadmill 1 minute sprint, 30 seconds rest x5 (got up to 13km/h and then panicked!)
Stepper: interval program, level 6, 10 minutes
Am debating having the morning off tomorrow, and just doing spin at lunch... not sure though, quite fancy a swim!
