Last night I looked like this





Today I feel like this

Slow hot 3 mile jog.

I joined the gym this week - don't need to lose any weight but would really like to get back to my old levels of fitness...over the last few years I've going from doing competitive sport 1-2 times a day to doing...errr...no sport or exercise whatsoever.
Also trying to eat much more healthily instead of the usual crap that I survive on. Increasing the protein and decreasing the carbs and sugar!

Tuesday - 30 mins running on the treadmill, 20 mins cross-trainer, 10 mins rowing machine and upper body weight-machines.
Wednesday - 30 mins running on the treadmill, 10 mins rowing machine, 30 mins on the bike and upper body weight-machines.
Thursday - 30 mins interval training on the cross-trainer, and abs weight-machine...and my body couldn't take any more (extreme DOMS pain from too much enthusiasm for throwing myself into a routine that my body isn't used to...)
Today (Friday) I had a day off as I could barely move. :pinch:

Going to try to keep this up (especially as I am now paying actual money for it) but may need some [strike]kicks up the backside[/strike] encouragement from you lovely people from time to time as I am sometimes embarrassingly lazy and Queen of procrastination.

Spent about an hour at the gym today, mainly cardio with a bit of abs & biceps work also.

I am training for a 5k right now. My friends want to run at the end of the summer, and I'm all... "YES! Let's do it!"

So, now I have to train. I'm using a Zombie Run!5k app, just to make it interesting. Today I found some antidote info in a hospital, betrayed a friend I've never met, and ran from zombies.

It's been a good, sweaty morning. hahaha.

I do 5k's. They are awesome
