This week, however, I'm going to share with you what I didn't do.
 |
| Sally won gold!! |
To start with, I didn't do much exercise. I watched a lot of exercise .. Olympics, District Sports Carnival, soccer training.

| Miss 10 won her high jump event!! |
My excuse for not partaking myself .. wait for it .. I've pulled a hammy! Seriously, the physio believes that I have several micro tears in the muscle fibres of my hamstring .. right up there at the top ( in my butt ). It really has compromised my movement .. I still can't demonstrate a proper squat when I'm training my clients!
As I managed to attain my injury early last week I have been allowed to commence some gentle stretching and strengthening exercises this week. To me, this means I can do a jog / walk combo on the treadmill for 20 minutes on Wednesday followed by some stretching and strengthening. Today's effort was increased to 30 minutes with the jog interval extended to 5 minutes .. I even picked up the pace just a little bit! Again followed by some stretching and strengthening. Yep, I'm really on top of the training this week!
I also didn't do my "healthy eating plan" very well. I may have allowed myself to indulge in some extra treats just a bit too much or even a lot.
You will be pleased to know however that I have seen the error of my ways ( evidenced by an increase in the display on the scales ) and am now back onto a "healthy eating program" that will change the display on the scales!
Oh and did I mention that I "overstretched" my hamstring whilst I was having a recovery day .. doing yoga. It will not stop me doing yoga though!
Have you had any "injuries" lately that have curtailed your mojo?

Ummm... yes indeedy! Although like you, I'm happy I ended up doing 'something' and I realised that all is not lost and I'll be back on board next week. (Though with days off work and public holidays it might be a struggle!)
What I did realise is that: lack of exercise (I enjoy) + stress about stuff in life = less motivation to make good decisions. I had some very unhealthy food last night and have made some bad choices all week.
But... that's behind me, I'm feeling terrible and need to learn from that.
Here's to a better week for both of us!

Didn't have the greatest week exercise wise either. Hate the Lurgy!
