Slow Start

Hey there fellow fat fighters, I had a pretty slow start to the day today. I got up with my partner as she had to work today, even though it is the weekend. Apparently it is a one off training course they are all doing today, so it isn't too bad. She did have to be out of here even earlier than she usually is during the week as the trains don't run anywhere near as frequently at the weekend as they do during the week. So, I managed to haul myself out of bed and make breakfast for her before she left.

I felt really tired and once she left I got on the computer and made a few changes to the blog. Instead of having so many separate tables, I have combined them now and my weight in pounds simply features as an additional column where I was able to do that. It looks a bit tidier and takes up less room that way.

Once I had finished doing that I finally got my act together and put bandages on the fresh blister and cycled down to the gym. Before I left I decided that since I spend so much time there I should take a picture of my gym so that you all can have a look at where I seem to be spending a fair chunk of my time these days! Hope you like the photo at the top of this entry.

I managed to tough it out and do the 31 minute workout that I have to do each day. I had sore feet, particularly when going at the fastest speed that I have to. At the end of the set routine, I decided to try and get on the cross trainer and see if I went any better on that. I found that my feet were much better and so I did an additional 10 minutes to round out the workout. I went as hard as I could and did pretty well considering that it was tough going today. I have update the spreadsheet and posted it so you can download it from the links if you wish.

I then took a couple of shots of the gym for everyone out there, and then cycled home. It was good to take the bike out, as I had been leaving it at home for a while so I could walk to the gym listening to my MP3 player. I took it today and it is so much faster than walking down. I think that I will use it a bit more often during the coming week.

That'll be it for today. I have only just had lunch which isn't so good, and I am heading out tonight to meet up with my partner and a friend of hers from childhood that is in town. We're heading down to the Rocks (the area by the Opera House) and are having dinner with the friend and her partner. It'll be interesting to see how I go as there doubtless be alcohol and fatty food on offer. I think that I should be fine though, the boost of having reached my first goal will keep me focussed. I will file a full report on how I get on tomorrow to let you all know. So, until tomorrow, keep fighting the good fight out there!
