Pretty Good Weekend
The weekend is drawing to a close and I have had a pretty good one. Yesterday was fairly slow, but I did make it to the gym for the standard cardio workout. I am still hopeful that the new cardio training regime will be sent to me soon and I can make a start on that. I found the cardio routine quite hard for some reason yesterday, however I did get through it, and I know that is the most important thing. My shins were sore, as were my feet, but I think it was mostly psychological as for some reason I just didn't seem as into the workout as I usually am. Maybe I need new music on my MP3 player!
Today was good, my partner and I tried a pilates class today, my first one. It was unusual, not that much of a sweaty workout but hard nonetheless. I think that it will take me a few goes at it before I get the hang of it, and I found some of the position quite hard because I am still a bit too large for some of them. Bits of me still get in the way, but I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to have done this class at my original weight.
I think that I may try and work a few more classes into my routine as they serve a good purpose keeping things new, stopping the boredom and daily grind from setting in too soon and affecting your enthusiasm. I felt good after the class, and while I knew it wasn't the hardest workout I have ever done, I think that I will find bits of me that I don't usually work on have been hit this morning and will probable be sore tomorow! I have a good week ahead of me, I'm feeling good and looking forward to spending some good time at the gym and making some good progress.

I think I need to change something up too. Adding a class or something of the like is a good idea.
Variety is the spice of life as they say, and keeping things new and interesting helps avoid the temptation to take a break from gym workouts, I find anyway. Often a change reminds you how good what you were doing before was, and I think the Pilates class has helped me in this way. Cheers for the comment TC.
