Well, today’s weight clocked in for the third day: 85.0kgs. So that means I’ve essentially lost a little weight since last week. I’ve eased up on the eating, increased the exercise, too. But it’s still hard to give up the chocolate.
Yesterday’s pilates class was quite interesting: if very slow. I felt that I was there for like 3 hours. In all, only 30 minutes had passed. Today the core muscles are slightly achy. They’ve been working!
It’s all part of the plan: I’ll be joining a gym club, after trying the equipment in our community. The aim is to boost overall muscle strength and tone the waist as the weight continues to decrease.
2KM runs daily: to practice – alternating slow – fast – faster in various combinations. Some days will only be slow runs. The aim is to get every run under 10k/m 20 minutes total without unduly stressing the heart. The more I do it the easier it will become on my body and hear.
Pilates will improve core muscles and tone other parts, too. Since I already feel core muscles on longer runs, this can only be good. Gentle breathing is beneficial, too.
Strength training: not yet.
Aerobics: not yet.
Biking: I continue to bike daily though it’s the return journey of the runs. I prefer biking after running, not before as I did at the start.
Walking: especially uphill will be good for me. I used to do it daily as part of my 10K steps program. Very beneficial, but with the running… I probably don’t need as much walking.
