Day 55/66

On Friday I thought I would run at some point in the day and go to a yoga class in the evening.  After my run on Tuesday, which felt horrendous, I think I have been in an avoidance spiral with running. Along with intermittent fasting (IF) I don’t feel I have the energy in the … Continue reading Day 55/66

Day 54/66

Thursday was a long working day with an early start, travelling to the Midlands, an all day meeting then returning to London.  I had planned to not go to class and although I got back into London earlier than planned I didn’t take the chance to go as I had back ache all day long. … Continue reading Day 54/66

Day 53/66

My brother stayed with me on Tuesday night, a somewhat impromptu visit. He was keen to go to the gym on Wednesday morning so I went along with him for some weight training; focussing on my chest and shoulders.  It’s the first weight training session I have done in absolutely ages and I am definitely … Continue reading Day 53/66

Day 52/66

I arrived into Bristol late on Monday night, at nearly 11pm. I wanted to try and get up early to run on Tuesday morning, as it had been 12 days since my last run. With going to yoga every day and intermittent fasting I haven’t had the time or energy to go.  Despite not sleeping … Continue reading Day 52/66

Day 51/66

I started this week at day 51 of my 66-day challenge in which I am creating a routine for daily exercise. It was also day 14 of the 30-day hot yoga class challenge. On Monday my yoga class was 60 minutes at lunchtime because I needed to travel to Bristol in the evening for a … Continue reading Day 51/66

Day 50/66

Wowzers….. 50 days of trying to do some exercise everyday. I started this challenge thinking how long 66 days was and that I probably wouldn’t keep to it. But, other than 4 days rest this has been a very long streak of self care, exercise, prioritising health, eating well, and in turn I have stopped … Continue reading Day 50/66

Day 49/66

I was wildly hungover on Saturday so my desire to exercise was pretty low. I was booked into the 5pm Yin class which was about all I could manage.  I quite liked that this challenge got me off the sofa and into the studio, as without the challenge in process I just would not have … Continue reading Day 49/66

Day 48/66

On Friday I went to a wedding. A friend’s glorious and amazingly fun wedding.  I actually woke up with enough time to run or go to yoga but I didn’t want to be insanely hungry all day so elected to take a rest day.  I didn’t even do any sun salutations. Just enjoyed a lovely … Continue reading Day 48/66

Day 47/66

On Thursday I had evening plans and so I needed to get to yoga before work. There was a 06:30 flow class which was the only option. This was day 10 of my 30-day hot yoga challenge marking the 1/3 point. Studio rules mean that you can skip one day a week on the 30 … Continue reading Day 47/66

Day 46/66

On Wednesday I was teaching a course in London so I had aspirations that I would get up for a run before work, then go to yoga in the evening.  Naturally this didn’t happen! I was too tired to get up early enough to run so that was off the cards. I know I am … Continue reading Day 46/66
