The last couple of weeks have certainly been up and down, I had a number of good days followed by a stupidly long shift at work last Sunday (18 and a half hours) which had a massive knock on effect right through the week.
Friday was a good day though - I counted out my food and even allowed for a glass and a bit of wine in the evening. And get this....... Mr DF poured me a glass later in the evening which ended up back in the bottle!
Isn't it odd too how some days when you set out with the best of intentions to exercise within just a few minutes of starting you just *know* that it's going to be rubbish? Wednesday I walked to the gym intending an hour's cardio and within 5 minutes of starting the rower I felt utterly wearied (is that a word?). I shook up the remainder of the session and did 30 minutes on the x-trainer and a 5 minute brisk uphill walk on the tready, and then wrapped it up. I'm putting most of that crappy session down to sheer tiredness - I was still knackered after my long day at work on the Sunday.
Yesterday though - different story. Sun was shining so I donned my trainers and got out for a 5k(ish) run. I enjoyed every single second of it (a shade over 42 minutes) - I'm definitely not built for speed when it comes to running but you know what? I don't care - I kept running (ok, plodding) at a steady pace the whole way round.
Go me!
*Touch wood* the big boulders on this Rocky Road I've been on are now shrinking to smaller stones and pebbles :)
Til next time x 
Ha ha to the sun- it is brilliant when the sun is shining. I am not surprised you were weary after that long shift at work- that 5K run yesterday sounds lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your mountain to pebbles metaphor I had a visual of it actually shrinking :-) You and me both with the running, seems I only know one pace and its slooooow but you know what they say ... we are still lapping those on the couch :-)
