not much to report from the weekend – i spent most of the time weeding and digging in the back yard, so there’s a few muscles giving out indications of having been used. sunday night was a family dinner (cooked by yours truly), and none of the dishes would make it onto a Weightwatchers menu for sure; brie, date, walnut & rocket salad, roast lamb & veggies, chocolate tart.
hit the gym this morning feeling a little sluggish, but an hour of doing the right thing soon fixed that up. i used the “weights day” routine from the previous programme, which fitted very nicely into a one hour session.
i will be doing a combination of those shorter sessions and the longer ones from the most recent programme. during the week i would ideally like to keep the gym time down to an hour or so, while also keeping up the longer rows and the running.
recently i’ve noticed that i’ve slipped back a little with things like push-ups, so it’ll be good to bring back some of the upper body work. keeping the gym time down will make it possible to still get the early bus without needing to be in bed by 8pm!
i’ll be compensating a little by keeping up the recent increase in walking during the day…
