Well, we had our 6 week weigh in tonight. It was great to get people together and hear the tips from Jax and Dan - its great to know they are there for support and advice.
I am happy with my half way weigh in. Down another 2.2kg and I hit a wee milestone which had been alluding me for some months now, which has made me feel pretty good! Just have to keep up the momentum for the next 6 weeks.
Tomorrow is our last day working at Pioneer, which means no more gym on tap! I have thoroughly enjoyed being able to get into the gym before and after work and get along to one of the classes and will have to make sure I keep this up when we are back at the Civic Offices. I intend to book in my motivational 1:1 with Ron next week.
I have had a good week exercise wise, finishing off the treadmill challenge at 31.31km. I am happy with that result and pleased that I managed to get onto the treadmill at least once each day. I went to a bounce class on Tuesday - a new one for me - and i really enjoyed it. I took a spin class with Dan on Wednesday - that one really pushed me. Having not fully recovered from the stair session on Sunday, I found myself pushed to my limits by the end of the class. I had to have a little lie down afterwards!!
I suffer from compartment syndrome, which is where the muscles in my legs do not have enough room to contract and become very tight and sore. I have torn both of my calf muscles and continue to have trouble with my calfs and archilles. At the moment I am suffering a bit and it gets dissapointing at times when I feel limited by it.
...I suspect I will be very sore after tennis on Saturday!
I have just watched the silver ferns win gold against Australia - wow, what a game! Extra time and then constantly equal until the ferms got ahead by two to win gold! They are such strong athletes - it is really inspiring!
