I joined the Gym

Yep, I did it. I actually joined a gym. My membership starts on Wednesday and I have my induction that night. I am going to ask for an upper body weights plan. My legs are pretty strong. My plan will be to get there for 2 weight sessions a week, I will have to work that into my exercise plan somehow. I will also utitlise the gym for cardio, be it the machines or Group Fitness when I get fitter. I can use any of their centres so may even join up with my OFB Buddy occasionally for a workout. She is a member of the same chain of gyms.

Yesterday ended well again, although I took the slack option for dinner and got Subway. I ate 1939 cals which is great.

I am having a rest day today and boy do I need it. My legs are SO tired and achey. My feet are swollen. And I generally feel bloated and blech. But I will come good tomorrow and by Monday will be ready for the new week of exercise.

My exercise plan for the new week is
5 x 30 min walks
2 x 20 min rides (may be on the exercise bike at the gym)
1 x weight session

Sunday will be my rest day and I think I am going to need it. LOL

Mini Goal

I thought I should set a mini goal for my weight. Otherwise the goal is just to mountainous to consider. So my first mini goal is to hit 150. I would like to do that in 3 months, which I believe is achievable but not too stressful.

I also have some monthly goals for my 2 exercise challenges for the year, but I left them home so I will post them later.

Yesterday was another good day. 1902 cals which is awesome. Kept my water up and went for my walk.

Last night I went out to the Archery Range with my husband to have a go. He has been trying to get me out there for ages so last night I went. Of course, I am currently dealing with a pulled rotator cuff injury so it may not have been the smartest thing to do... I was okay for the first few dozen, then I felt it pull. I should have stopped straight away but I was actually having a lot of fun so kept going. I went too far. Luckily I am seeing the Physio again on Friday so will get it looked at again.

This morning on my walk I felt like I was walking through water. My legs are tiring. But I will still walk tomorrow and then give myself the whole weekend as a rest.

So far I am feeling good with all this. lets hope the feeling lasts. :)
