well talk about feeling the burn, ouch x 1,000,000....
and do you know what I'm delighted, cause it only means I made the right choice going to the gym this morning, I woke 3 minutes before my alarm was due to go off and going to reset it for work and thought to myself why???
I spend longer on the bus to the gym than I do IN the gym, so why is it such a big deal.... so off I went.... happy out...
now to go and ruin it all by eating and drinking like a lord in Scotland this weekend haha....MESSING!!!!

a change most certainly does you good
Whenever I went the gym before I always though you 'had' to workout for an hour, even when I started in my gym in April I still carried that mentality.
Only now I'm seeing it's not how long you're there for but what you do when you're there, you need to work with your body, not against it.
nowadays I tend to do anything from 30 minutes to over an hour, it depends on my energy levels and enthusiasm, but you can be certain that if I'm only there for 30 minutes I'll have worked up a sweat.
This morning I varied my work out again, and it gave me a spring in my step because I used machines on muscles I didn't realise I had.
And now I'm looking forward to using them some more tomorrow
:D

no title, no problem
so was back at the gym after being an ill bunny the last couple of weeks.
I think when I first started eating right and going to the gym, I'd of went into blind panic when I missed a day for one reason or another, but I think I have the right mentality now when it comes to taking care of the body and the mind and it really is all about looking after both in my opinion.
The old me would have felt the gym was punishment after being away from it for a few days, but no it felt like relief, to be back at something or somewhere that's become habit to me, to be honest I missed it.
It's a great place to have some 'you' time plus it gives me a lot of clarity on things that I'd generally find hard to think through.
Punishment for me is not going the gym, but that's just me.
