Yo Adriannnn..!
Diet has been going really well of late. Apart from the football on Saturday which involved beer and pies, I've been spot on for two weeks now. No alchol, tuna salad for lunch, grilled chicken/pork/turkey with steamed veg for tea. Nothing else inbetween. I'm even managing to stick to it fine as well. :)
However, I realised recently I need to take it to the next level.
I need more excercise.
Having a job where I sit for pretty much most of the day behind a desk, coupled with my army of space monkies that pretty much handle all the day-to-day tasks at Zenith Towers means that I've ended up getting virtually zero exercise all day.
I've tried doing the gym before, but due to me lacking motivation in a large way, coupled with the fact I've always found the gym slightly boring, I've never managed to stick to it. So this week, I decided to start my new excercise plan.
I've taken up boxing.
Yep, from now on 2-3 times a week I'm paying someone to physically abuse me. And by heck, I feel like it's working. I honestly wouldn't have thought that repeatedly punching a bag for 10 mins would get you fit, but it's amazing what state I was in after my first hour with my trainer. (actually, I managed about 47 minutes before I collapsed, then threw up)
I've got my circuit training instructions from my trainer that I have to do everyday, along with my morning and evening excercises, and my next session 'with the gloves' is tomorrow.
The best thing is that as I have a (rather harsh) personal trainer, there's no 'I'm just going to have a sit down for 10 minutes' going on as used to happen at the gym. I must have had about 5 occasions that I thought "If I was on my own here, I'd have given this up and gone for a cup of tea".
Season 2 Scrubs box set should be here when I get home, so gives me an excuse to stick an Elliot picture in here. I've gone through the last day trying not to laugh out loud every 10 minutes when I keep picturing her saying "I'm a chunky monkey from funky town!". God love 'er.
Going the distance.
