My gym appears to have exploded some time between me leaving it (sweatily) at 7pm last night and walking past it on my way to work at 8.45am this morning ( Read more... )

The who with the what now?

moose_biscuit last year took over a work colleague's membership at my gym, on a lower rate than my membership because that person had signed up for a whole year, while I only originially signed up for three months. MB eventually realised that she wasn't going to get to the gym enough to make it worthwhile, so we hatched a plan ( Read more... )

Busy weekend.

On saturday morning I had to get the Chad to the vet (for a general checkup and vaccination booster), while moose_biscuit was at work. This meant I had to be the mean mum, who, after bribing and cajoling didn't work, had to resort to brute force (the cat might be pointier than me, but I'm considerably bigger and stronger). I eventually picked him ( Read more... )

Operation Spin to Win is in its second week, so I had my second spinning class last night after work ( Read more... )

When I'm meant to be watching my pennies (to pay off my debts, save for a new computer and pay for my holiday in December) it is not a good idea to let myself be seduced by these. I saw them in the window of Yoma, my favourite shoe shop, and had to go in and try them on. They're utterly gorgeous, and the ankle strp means that they're not completely ( Read more... )

I took a few brief pauses when my calves were on fire ( Read more... )

Oh dear Lord, I think I've just signed up for my first spinning class. Having recently seen Run, Fatboy, Run and witnessing what spinning did to Pegg's character, I might not survive. The class is 6-6.45, but I might be a gonner by 6.30.

Goodbye, cruel world!

Melodramatic, me?

I've been posting my gym sessions at undou_suru, but I thought I'd post last night's work out here so that people can be impressed with my dedication. Or something ( Read more... )

So, I had my six week review at the gym last night. The main change to my routine is that the trainer's advised me to move away from the ab cruncher and shown me some more advanced abs stuff to do instead, mostly involving the fit ball. She's also told me to do less on the bikes for the sake of my poor knees, which have been suffering lately and ( Read more... )
