Back again!
My plan of action didn’t exactly go to plan! I didn’t end up going to body attack on Tuesday evening because I had a horrible headache that painkillers didn’t get rid of and ended up going to bed without showering or sorting out the mess in my room at 8pm. I ended up cancelling going to Fran’s birthday tea because I wouldn’t have had time to shower before going and I needed to get my room sorted. I feel bad but it’s Beth’s birthday on Monday so I will see Fran there. I didn’t feel great yesterday, everybody at work is ill at the moment and I felt a bit coldy and run down.
I went straight to Ross from work, feeling a bit miserable and sorry for myself! I told him straight away that I hadn’t gone to the classes the night before and he was really nice about it. I was really struggling at the beginning of the session and he made me do one legged squats which I really don’t like, I feel like the leg behind is almost seizing up when I do them! I said that I thought I was just going to be miserable about everything today because of not feeling 100% and Ross was all like ‘No you can do it, this is going to be a real aha moment!’ So he made me lift heavier on most of the things we did and I did it! We also did a bit of boxing with gloves and pads which I felt kind of silly doing but it was really fun! And at the end he said that he was sorry for pushing me but that he knows that I’m stronger than I think I am and I just need to remember why I’m doing it. He gave me a hug and a high five! (I was super awkward about the hug cos I was like noooo, I’m all sweaty and gross!). I think I do just default to thinking that I am weak and unfit so when I see these massive weights I just assume that I won’t be able to do it. Ross realised that we are exactly half way through my 12 weeks of training now and he suggested that I re-read the email that I sent him to enter the competition to remind me where I was at the beginning and why I wanted to do it in the first place. So I did when I got home, it was super cringey but it has made me determined to smash the next six weeks. I am seriously SO SO lucky to be getting Ross’ time for free I need to make the most of it, plus he is seriously awesome and I don’t want to let him down! I am excited to get stronger and fitter and hopefully my 8 week photos will show a big change!
I did a 15 minute HIIT sessions this morning before work, I just did 30 seconds on, 30 seconds rest of star jumps, bear crawls, high knees, push ups and plank 3 times. I had slightly longer rests between some of them because I keep getting this weird ache in my neck so I was trying to stretch it out in between, but I’m glad I did something! I had a proper stretch session afterwards as well which was really nice, I haven’t stretched much the whole time I’ve been going to Ross which probably isn’t ideal!
It’s weigh in day tomorrow, please cross your fingers for me!
Also I’m sorry if I’m boring you withal the exercise talk, it’s just that pretty much all I do at the moment is work and exercise and work isn’t very interesting!
