I finally went to the gym tonight and did a Boxercise class. I really enjoyed it - gave my upperbody an awesome workout and cardio was up there. Boxing was the best stress relief - Bam, Bam Pow!
So I also went to another gym to have a look around and I have come to the conclusion that I don't want to join a gym. They are expensive and not something that I have the money for. My kids, uni, house and derby will not always give me time to get there more then once a week at the MOST! I will spend more time on the beach walking/playing with the kids, in the yard or at the park. This is my life... so while I really enjoy doing some classes, given the lack of flexibility in my life I think that I will only pay per class that I go to. SO Ms Dodge I will put it back on you to encourage the shit out of me if I am slacking off too much or complaining that I am just not improving etc..
Now for confession time (good and bad):
at the Gym we had to do this circuit with things like 30 sit ups, 100 punches, 10 squat jumps (totally rocked these thank you Derby thighs!) and while it was hard I am proud to say I counted every thing I had to do and did every single one!
Food wise I had such good plans and I did *mostly* stick with it. I did have the skin free chicken for dinner with steamed vege, I did have the salad with trim lamb for lunch (no cheese or dressing) I did drink plenty of water ... BUT I also ate a dairy free lamington and some chocolate soy ice cream. It was in the freezer and it was the last one - I know I shouldnt do it, but I was feeling a little low before the gym and just could not resist. I felt terrible afterwards for not eating some fruit instead. I think that coming down from all the crap food will be baby steps this week (you know what I am talking about).
SO now there is no bad food left in my house. There is no Chocolate, no coke, no cakes, no biccies (that I can eat anyways). I have done all my shopping with the exception of fruit and vege - and for the next week I will not be buying any food that is not in my house (except more milk and bread). So NO snacks, no chocolate, no chips and no take away. well ... I am going to the movies tomorrow, but I will have coles organic popcorn and sushi for lunch! I will keep you posted on how that goes!
Great work Fury! I will definitely kick your butt for you! :-D
ReplyDeleteI had an ice cream related fail yesterday too. One change a week is the sustainable way to change. At least that's over with!
Also, I LOVE boxing! I was thinking about getting a boxercise dvd, and holding off on my gym membership, to get some cardio up in a better way than my crappy stationary bike. Now I'm motivated to buy one & I'll make you a copy. At least then you'll have options!
Love your work ;-)
