I cancelled my Sunday morning session with Trevor as I was still unwell. I was better, but I didn’t think I’d be well enough for that! By Monday I was feeling a lot better, apart from a slight cough.
My cousin and I had yoga on Tuesday morning. The last class I’d had was at the end of November so I was expecting it to be tough. And I was right! But it felt good to be doing something.
On Wednesday morning I had a session with Trevor. It had been exactly a month since our last session – and I was still coughing a bit and I was also sore after my yoga session the day before. I did 5 minutes on the bike to warm up and then moved on to the treadmill for 15 minutes while Trevor told me about his trip to New York.
- 5 km x 1 min
- 5 km x 1 min (10% incline – just to warm me up properly)
- 5 km x 1 min
- 7 km x 1 min
- 5 km x 1 min
- 7 km x 1 min
- Alternating between 5 km and 7 km each minute (no incline) up to 15 minutes
It wasn’t too bad. I had some water and did this circuit:
- Squats x 20
- Shoulder press (3-kg weights) x 20
- Deadlifts (10-lb weights) x 20
- Push-ups x 20
- Bike x 4 min
- Rest
I had some water and did another circuit:
- Sumo squats (15-lb weight) x 20
- Tricep dips x 20
- Single-leg deadlifts (10-lb weight) x 20
- Tricep extensions (3-kg weights) x 20
- Bike x 4 min
- Rest
I had some more water and did another circuit:
- Combined squat/abductor raise x 20 (10 on each side)
- Bent-over row (10-lb weights) x 20
- Bench squats x 20
- Mountain climbers x 20 (10 on each side)
I did some stretching after that and was done. By the end of the day I could feel my hamstrings and shoulders getting really sore and I knew I’d be in pain on Thursday!
I woke up on Thursday and took some Nurofen – that’s how much I ached! I didn’t work out again in the week. I’m feeling extremely unmotivated right now. One good thing, I suppose, is that I haven’t had a drink since 2nd January – even though I was at La Petite Maison for dinner on Monday and was out for dinner on Saturday night…
Low point of the week? Feeling unmotivated and blah. And I still have a slight cough.
High point of the week? Trying to get back into a routine – and not drinking!
Weight loss? Ugh.
