When I woke up on Tuesday morning I planned to go to the gym to do some weights, but I couldn’t find my gym card as it’s been so long since I last used it. I searched around for it for a while but eventually gave up looking and figured I’d look for it later … Continue reading Lifting = happiness
We landed back in London at 21:30 on Sunday night and got home near to 23:00. My plan was to go to the 06:30 hot Pilates class on Monday morning but I knew I wouldn’t make it, so I cancelled it with a plan to run a bit later in the morning instead. I woke … Continue reading Monday morning
Since then I have had consistent exercise ticking over at a very low level. It’s maintainance rather than weightloss and fitness. It doesn’t really feel good. When I was away I did some stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) for about 30 minutes but otherwise nothing. SUP is something I’ve wanted to try for a while and … Continue reading Since then
In keeping with my goals for Monday I went for a 45 minute walk in the morning around the common. Giles came with me so we got to discuss the week ahead and our plans. I really love spending a little time together chatting and walking around the lovely area we live. Every time we … Continue reading Monday was a Success
I can’t believe we are already most of the way through August. At the beginning of the month I started a blog that I never finished and it is so wildly irrelevant now that this morning I deleted it and decided to start again. It’s been a tough month for me to get anything done. … Continue reading August is nearly over
On return from Serbia I walked back into the height of British summer. What a joy! London is always so much happier in the summer. FYI Autumn is my favourite season because I prefer to not sweat so ferociously in public! Since I got back I have also had some further improvements in my yoga … Continue reading Since Serbia
Throughout the retreat the yoga and meditation were amazing. Marija is an amazing Yin teacher which is why I booked this particular trip. In previous years the retreats I’ve chosen have been mainly Bikram based, which were perfect at that time in my life. Over the last year or so I’ve been exploring Yin and … Continue reading The Yoga Retreat
I went to a Bikram yoga class last night for the first time since before the yoga retreat and had a significant breakthrough. I’m planning to write about the yoga retreat when I get a little time and also about my plan for exercise beyond the 66-day challenge, but so just want to share what … Continue reading Breakthrough
I did it! For 66 days in a row I tried to build a routine of daily exercise and I succeeded! In this time I’ve done 89 rounds of sun salutations, 41 yoga classes and 15 runs totalling 87.14Km; managing to exercise on all but 4 days. Does it feel like a routine now? Kind … Continue reading Day 66/66
Monday marked the start of my yoga retreat in Serbia. I shared an Uber to the airport with one of the ladies I know from my yoga studio, called Mary, and we got there without problem. The first leg of our flight would take us to Zurich where we would have a 40 minute turn … Continue reading Day 65/66
