Lower body weight workout before work this morning – felt really good.

The only cloud on the horizon is that my weight has gone up another half a Kg, and I really have no idea why. how depressing.

Monday. It’s a public holiday, so a good opportunity to get into the gym again this morning. Did my usual 45 min cardio workout (15 min treadmill, 15 min bike and 10 min rotary row).

My quads and calves are still sore from Saturday, and that, combined with my current lack of fitness, meant that my heart rate went up really fast, and at one point on the treadmill , I got a high heart rate warning.

The scale hasn’t budged since yesterday. I’m confident that if I keep this up, it will.

Wow – what a weakling butterball I have become. I could hardly move this morning when I wanted to get out of bed. Good pain, though – it means that I did something worthwhile.

Also, my weight went up almost a Kg – I’m assuming that it is the muscle reaction to suddenly having to work again after so much procrastination.

Since I have been on hormone medication, for the first time ever, I have gained a lot of fat around my middle – it’s really nasty. I would feel it there when I was on the leg press machine yesterday – yuck.

Cardio workout tomorrow (when I can walk)...
