So I started my diet properly today. Over the weekend I tried to be healthy but also eat up various food that I didn’t want around whilst on my diet. I went to the gym Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t falter too much after 2 months of not going. I did the following routine in the gym
Cardio:
Treadmill (Warm up) 5 minutes at 5km/hr
Cross Trainer, Level 6, 10 minutes, 2km (my aim is 5km in 20 minutes)
Recumbant Bike, Level 6, 10 minutes at 70rpm
Treadmill, 10 minutes at 5.5km/hr, incline 2
Weights:
Abductors: 25kg, 15 reps, 1 set
Adductors: 25kg, 15 reps, 1 set
Leg Press: 52kg, 15 reps, 1 set
Seated Rower: 14kg, 15reps, 1 set AND 18.5kg, 15 reps, 1 set
Pec Dec: 14kg, 15 reps, 1 set
Chest Press: 14kg, 15 reps, 1 set
I only did a quick round of the weights to see how they felt and most didn’t feel heavy again so I think the strength in my arms and legs is still there so I’ll be upping the weights when I next go and do my usual 2 sets on upperbody and 3 sets on lowerbody. Luckily there’s a Fitness First by my boyfriend’s work so I can go to the gym and then pick him up on the way home, or go after dropping him into work, when I’m up visiting that is. I’ll probably just go to the gym while I’m at his as I intend to leave my car there and then exercise in Cardiff by walking everywhere.
I weighed myself first thing this morning and had lost 2lb since Saturday. I’m guessing it’s not the McDonald’s 2 double cheeseburgers and small fries plus 9 Barcardi and Lemonades that I had Saturday night! Still the weekend is over and it’s time to start the diet…
