Oooh.

I'm going to hurt tomorrow.

I've just done exercise for the first time in over a year. I joined a gym ("Sienna" at the Radisson Edwardian) on a 6-week trial membership and had my induction session this evening, and boy have I got unfit.

Still, I managed to run a Whole Kilometre (yeah, yeah, I know) which is more than I expected to be able to do. The aim is to be able to run 10k by the time of the 10k run (even though I'll be walking that; it'll be nice to know I *could* run it, if I don't wear the corset). Realistically, I'll settle for running 5k in half an hour by the end of the 6 weeks, which will improve me slightly from the point I was doing the 5k fun runs a few years ago (and generally managing around 40 minutes, which I blamed on the Ridiculous Hills in the courses).

If it removes my spare tyre, saddlebags & jowls (which I didn't have a year ago), I'll be happy. In the meantime, the Molton Brown toiletries in the changing rooms don't hurt.

trying for a combination of swimming, gym and lap dancing... having realised in the first 2 eeks of being away I put on nearly 1/2 stone!! (of course valentines, girlie weekends and no gym didn't help). The lapdancing is a good stomanch / bum toning thing :-)

Sitting here stuffing chocs while I read these entries. (Suffering from deprivation as did not get the pancake thing done yesterday because of Greek) Had to do 2 exercises a test and a Q&A session to tape for the Greek exam. Got 12/12 and 15/15 for tests and the tape was almost perfect. (Smirk smirk)
Did lots of walking last week while family up, but this weeks "exercise" will be tapestry and x-stitch and joining the local writer's club which I just heard about. Let your fingers do the walking!!!

Thanks :) The only bit actually hurting today is my tummy, and that's cos I went back & did more situps after the induction thing. I'm going again tomorrow :)
