Day 10 is when it really starts to get hard. I'm tired from all the work, I'm eleven days off my body having recognised this as a habit and starting to pump me full of the happy endorphins. I'm noticing it in the mornings and the evenings. Possibly part of the day as well. Definitely in the mornings. The alarm went off at 5 and I didn't. No spin with Lisa for me this morning. Quick breakfast at home and then I'm off to work. I'm really enjoying my weetibx in the morning. Strange the tastes that adjust for you as you get older.
Having missed spin in the morning, I rearrange some of my day to hit the class at lunch. There are only 2 of us today for some reason. One fan for each of us. Which is lucky cos I feel like I'm in my own personal sub tropical zone. I find cycle very hard to get into musically. It doesn't seem to have the sync, music to track that RPM does. This means I do a lot of clock watching. How long have I survived, how much longer do I have to survive? Oh well, more motivaton to make the RPM classes I want to make. I'm finding that I'm able to climb more and that I'm starting to lift the resistance a little more each class. Back to work where I devour the tuna salad I have for lunch.
I've made a date with one of my red team members to meet her for boxing and group slim. It's nice to see the team starting to bond and make some friendships. I'm back at the gym by 5.30. This is a really different boxing workshop. It contains a lot more shadow boxing and conditioning exercises (abs, squats, pushups etc) as opposed to the glove based workshops I'm used to. My heart rate is definitely up and I'm puffing away. No need to grab my puffer which is great. It's nice to see at least 3 of the red team at the workshop today. I use it as example of why they should do body combat as well. Ah, body combat, it seems only yesterday I was enjoying your sweet, sweet torture.
The group slim class is looking at healthy snacking options and making informed fast food choices. It's a big group, over 20 of us, sitting around and sharing ideas. Apparently you can air pop popcorn using only a brown paper bag and plain corn kernels. I suggest trying this at home prior to having to accidentally evacuate your office over lunch. Nothing like being the dieting girl who set the microwave on fire. We then move on to looking at the healthier choices that fast food are offering. There's a lot of giggling and a general consensus that we're getting really hungry. There's something about sitting in a class situation talking about food that seems to return the general group dynamic to that of a year 9 girls school. Be afraid, be very afraid.
A quick swing past the greengrocer (for your information, you can buy a lot more vegetables for $3 than you imagine) and I'm home. Time to make dinner for the lovely M. I love to cook, not just for me but for others. It's a real joy so having dinner guests is always quite inspiring. Tonight it's a beef stirfry with capsicum, onion, snow peas, eggplant, zucchini, some soy, some coriander, ginger and garlic. M is a wonderful guest to cook for as well. She's part of my collection of fabulous women who come and have illicit non husband friendly dinners at my house. We're talking about starting a swimming program today which is exciting, particularly as I've just bought the bottom half of swimsuit required to start the program (top half previously acquired). We're also looking for an aqua aerobics class in the evenings. Bit nervous about the swimming but thinking it would be a great thing to do health wise. I'm very pro immersion in water, it's just the swimming rather than splashing about factor.
Think about some dessert and decide I'm not really in the mood. Head to bed after Dance. A good day.
