So I missed the pump class at lunch on Wednesday but I still wanted to get to the gym to get some strength work in. I did comtemplate going home and putting our kettle bells through their paces but my motivation just wasn't there, I needed the class atmosphere to push me through.
Firstly,my food for the day. Not too bad, starting with weetbix for breakfast a delicious cheese snack then it was back on the salads for lunch! Roasted pumpkin, tuna, cauliflower and feta for the win!
After work, it was time to hit the gym! Goodness me, I have never done an ABT (abs, butts, thighs) class before but man oh man, they weren't wrong on the description. Although I won't be rushing back to this. It started out well enough, walking lunges, wall sits, squats, elevated lunges etc but then we started the floor work and did no joke 15 minutes of leg lifts. I was watching the clock and I swear it not only stopped, it must have gone backwards. Some girls in the class just plain stopped, my legs were numb at this point so I did my best to keep going until the torture was over. All that laying down meant a pretty small calorie burn but never the less I still felt it the next day and I am still feeling it!
Dinner was Penang chicken with steamed vegetables and nifty chef here made enough for dinner last night too which was a big win! This runs at around 250 calories per serve (plus an extra 100 for the half a cup of rice I like to have with it) and keeps really well in the fridge, a great bulk meal maker.
So yesterday I ate exactly the same meals. Leftover dinner was a lifesaver when I got home from running at almost 8pm. My latest obsession is clearly cupboard cheese! Look how happy the cow is! Originally I thought laughing cow was a good idea, but that is crazy hard to eat, so smiling cow is great for on the go!
Last night was a daunting night exercise wise, it was the main run of run club. I have been hesitating joining the long run at run club because I thought I would be miles too slow. Turns out I was slow but not too slow and it was great fun.
Another great part was that a bunch of people have Garmins and my lovely new friend Amy gave me some great tips on my 410! Including how to actually start a workout easily! Really need to re-read that manual! I also need to turn off the autopause, it kept stopping when I was running, according to mapmyrun, this was actually a 7.5km run... I have switched off autopause and also now know how to lock the bezel so hopefully getting some more accurate workouts from now on.
