Well I ended up having a day off yesterday - not that I intended it to be, but that's just what happened... I haven't left the house for over a week except to visit some friends on Sunday, I haven't driven my car since before Christmas - so I set out yesterday morning for a number of errands I had to do, including groceries... By the time I got home and had lunch it was 3pm, then I set about creating a surprise in my daughters room, since she's back next week and to top it off had a cat club meeting, so day gone!

Today's another day, and this week things really up their game in the running programme, so I was so proud to nail today's running, so today it was a brisk 5 min warm-up then straight into 5 mins of running, then I had 3 mins walking before another 5 mins of running, 3 mins walking and 5 mins of running. I then walked another 30 mins to complete my hour of exercise. It went really well, I felt good and the running was achievable. I truly can't believe I'm doing this... obviously this programme is really good at assisting the body to get used to the increase in exertion, because to go from couch potato to where I am now is just mind-blowing for me.

One of my tips to pass on I realised today is that posture is really important. If I hold my tummy muscles in I support my lower back so much better, but also the emphasis goes on my big thighs, rather than my delicate ankles, and I can feel the workout so much better, it's like the body points to all the flabby bits and says "you lot have to go" lol. The scales told me this morning that my muscles have increased 10% in these past 4 weeks, so I am really pleased with that, but interestingly the fat % hasn't changed... I am definitely a work in progress.. pants are looser though so Woohoo, bring it on!!!
