Saturday off!

As I mentioned before in a previous post, my gym days off are going to be Saturday and Tuesday!

This way it breaks my week up a wee bit better than Sunday and Tuesday did...

I think the breaks off are definitely necessary! And not just because your body does need time to recover and repair from lots of exercise, but also from a motivational point of view too! I think if I went every day it would slowly start to become more of a chore or a task than something that I actually enjoy!

I think I'm making awesome progress so far! And the willpower hasn't faded one bit :)

As well as the gym I've been going on a few walks a week with my friend, this burns off an extra few hundred calories a week which is definitely a huge bonus! Not only that, but it's all in preparation for starting a running program in about 3 weeks time!

I tried running before, but as usual I went headfirst into it with no preparation and ended up screwing my legs up big time! Hopefully this time I'll be around 2 stone lighter and have a lot more stamina built up behind me too! I also have a running buddy who's very keen to start with me :) so it's all gonna be in hand very soon!

Still need to hit up JD sports and get some running shoes though!
