Pushing Myself.
Having written last night's post, I really felt a lot better. Sometimes I just can't trust myself to be honest, so writing it down is evidence that I'm doing alright. And yeah, I've made some mistakes, but I'll fix them up again eventually. No tomorrows! Started already, last night! So thankyou everyone who read and commented. You're angels. =)
I had deemed today as the beginning of my exercising again . . . and I wanted to see just how out of shape I had become in the past week. I'm considering NOT doing Couch 2 5k anymore, not because I'm giving up - but because (as proved this morning!) I can actually run in 20 minute bursts now. The final two weeks of the programme are increasing this to half an hour, and that's where it stops -- and I feel I can do that myself anyway, what with interval training and increasing my distance slowly but surely.
So even though I've gone a few steps backwards this week? I can still run. I've still got it! I want to spice up my exercise plan a little bit, so this is what I'm thinking.
Jogging - three times per week
Walking - three times per week (alternate days to running)
Yoga - once per week - I have a DVD I bought when I was 95kgs and didn't really feel the stretches/positions doing anything, so I want to see how I go with that now.
I also saw a DVD programme on sale on the home shopping channel the other night ( I KNOW, I'm a dag! ) and it looked so awesome - it was called Turbo Jam? And it was an at-home aerobic dancing style programme that works on your whole body to funky music and doing moves like kickboxing and aerobics and WOW. It looked awesome! I love dancing and fast music, so it looked perfect for me.
Sadly it is an American programme and costs a fortune to get it here - I'm wondering if there is something similar I could do myself at home, without going to the extremes of buying the programme? (It would be kind of awesome to have, though.)
Going off to have a late lunch now. Have a great weekend!
