This morning I did: Funk Roberts - 30 Minute Upper Body Dumbbell Workout - Build Muscle - Burn Fat ...using 5kg weights, which was just right for this one.
I then did: MadFit - 5 MIN FULL BODY STRETCH & COOL DOWN
Haven't worked out for a while so it feels good to be back and I hope to keep it up this week and onwards. Also back to counting calories this morning. Aiming for 1500 calories Monday to Friday and then a bit more over the weekend - still just trying to aim below 1900 average for the week - 1800 would be better and 1700 would be the best. If I can progress to that this month that would be great.
Visiting my family in Dublin was so lovely over the Jubilee weekend. We had three full days and made the most of it. Weather wasn't great, but we managed to fit in a good walk on the first day and a visit to the natural history museum and national gallery on the very rainy Sunday.
The sun came out for us on the bank holiday Monday, though, so that was wonderful. We went to a cute little town called Greystones, which is where the Happy Pear café is - I watch them on YouTube so it was quite fun to see the shop in person. I'd love to eat there in future sometime, but on this day we opted for cheesy pastries, hot chips and soft-serve ice-cream instead - and not all at once... We had a great session of frisbee as well - and played board and card games in the evenings, which is always fun.
Getting back to reality took a bit of time because I then ended up going to watch tennis with hubby in Nottingham for the day as a friend had cancelled and he had the spare ticket. So I haven't been ready to start tracking again and indulged over the weekend as well. We did do some walking though and went for an hour through the park yesterday morning before the weather turned again.
I also walked in to town for the lunch time concert at the cathedral on Friday. It was a trio of young ladies - on violin, cello and piano playing Brahms. So great to see such talent and their beautiful smiles were part of the enjoyment for me. In the tennis and the concert - we watched a few womens' doubles matches and they were so strong, fit and muscular and such an inspiration! It was wonderful to see!
Anyhoo, so now I am working towards finally reaching my goal this year. I have a couple of weekends where I'll be eating out and such, but for the moment I should be able to stick to a good routine for a good 4-5 weeks. Hoping to make some serious progress. I'll weigh in on Friday morning and see how much of a step back I've taken and what my new starting point is.
Hope you're all having a great week! xxx
