Over the last couple of weeks I’ve found myself getting back into a bit of a routine with exercise. That’s not to say I’ve done everything I planned of course, but I’ve been to a couple of strength classes ata new studio, a couple of Tower Pilates classes and I’ve been going to the gym to do some weights sessions regularly.
More than that, I’ve felt like I’ve been trying harder. Not just going to the gym and doing the minimum to tick it off, I feel like I’ve actually tried to push myself.
Partly, I feel like going to some new places has helped, because it’s been different and made me focus more. Also I think the Tower Pilates has helped, because I really feel the small controlled movements and it’s reminded me that doing things properly is more important than just volume of training.
My diet feels better too, again not perfect, but I feel like I’m eating more controlled and sensibly and more to my actual needs (instead of mindlessly comfort eating).
Do I see the effcts yet? Honestly, no, although I have lost half a stone over the last 9 weeks, so I know things are changing.
Do I feel better though? Yes I think I do. I’m away this weekend and then I’ve got 2 weeks before my beach holiday so I’m going to keep pushing in this manner and see where I get to.
