I thought: About whether I should buy some more weights. At the moment, I have 0.5k, 1k, 2k, and 5k dumbbells. However, the 5ks are a bit too heavy for a few exercises, and the 2ks too light. On the other hand, weights are heavy and take up quite a lot of space...
I slept: 8 1/2 hours in 5 chunks
I worked out: Just 41 minutes of weights and cardio with the Firm's Time Crunch Cardio. As it was, the first of the grandparents arrived before I finished showering :o
I ate: 70g birthday cake after lunch, then 60g biscuits and 80g chocolate after dinner - total 210g - not too bad for a birthday party situation.
I am grateful for: My son having reached six years old.
Wow! That's dedication. A workout and a birthday party. Exhausting! lol
ReplyDeleteI really see exercise as a treat and a gift I give myself :) I love taking the time out to exercise, and I know it helps relieve stress and worry. It also helps me feel better about myself - knowing I am strong and fit and flexible, even if I am not the perfect shape according to current standards :D
DeleteI really wish I could shape my perspective around exercise that way. I have a way to go. ;-)
DeleteI'm lucky, I always enjoyed exercising, even when it wasn't "cool" at school. And having done more as an adult, I've become addicted - it's a habit you can really get into. The endorphin kick, and the feeling of satisfaction. However, that takes time to build into, and I've heard a lot of people say that if they start missing sessions, then they lose that buzz. Wouldn't know, as I've exercised at least 3 times a week for several decades now, and that drop to 3 was only when I was in my first trimester with my first child! :)
