Regular moderate exercise log

Flat line of between 4 and 5mmol/l all night - that run didn't cause even half the diabetic havoc I was expecting!

Did 30 lengths of the pool this morning.

Planning a snooze in my lunch hour today. Have a great day, all!

:)
 
No parkrun for me this morning as I'm at work from 10am - so today I tackled running 5km on the treadmill without stopping! Managed 35 minutes at 9km/h = 5.25km. A breakthrough!

Very pleased - now all I have to do is survive the rest of the day...!

:playful:
 
Really did not want to leave the house last night for aqua aerobics -

Did the usual, had tea, had a walk to get to my target of 7k daily steps, sat down then really did not want to leave the house at 7.30pm ...

Glad I did though - aqua aerobics was brilliant - used floats to help gain muscle ... I even feel my arms stronger today!

Normal steps expected today then looking forward to hitting the gym on Friday morning ....

I did ....

Looking forward to the gym tomorrow - hope there are not too many people around as I would like to do a couple of the machines I should be doing, but forget how they work exactly ....
 
I know what you mean! I only use one of the machines and have only been shown how that one works (that's what I wanted, to keep it simple) but I really should show an interest in some of the other gear one of these days!

I'm sorry - I thought I'd replied!

Anyway, for the first time since 1989, I own and will be wearing a dress! Normally I can dress pretty informally for work, as it suits the nature of the work I do with the kind of young adults I work with, but on the last day of our academic year we are encouraged to dress more formally for our end of year celebrations! The idea of Japes in a dress is intriguing those who have (a) watched the weight-loss with much fascination, and (b) only ever seen me in jeans. The tops do vary, depending on the day of the week.
 
City shopping today for the other half - means I will be doing loads of steps, but shopping steps if you know what I mean rather than striding it out. Tiring day ahead.

I wonder if I can find anything for me ..... hmmmmm

Got to be worth a try!
 
Too tired for any planned exercise today - will save it for early mornings in the week. The last couple of weeks I've been alternating swimming and treadmill running - am suddenly more prone to treadmill hypos so I'm going to reduce my basal even more for that next week!

I'm running longer and steadier than I used to, so that's what's making the difference I think.

In the meantime I'm being a pottering domestic goddess - now I've finished this cuppa I'd better get back to the Hoover......

:)
 
I did a lot of walking, a quick weights session and a bout on the exercise bike this week.

I'm walking the longer way to church in a minute or two - because if I do, (drum roll if you please...) 180 days since beginning recording my walking that will take me over 700 miles. :)

Must check if I'm enthusiastic enough with the organ pedals if it adds steps!

Try putting your fitbit on your ankel :D

Did my gym programme then decided to look into another centre I can also use - I will be using that tomorrow for an early swim and some training - only 2 people were in the pool! How lush would that be?
 
Did an hour resistance in the gym today, as I feel like I'm the other side of my chest infection. Good job as I've started my medically supervised 7 day fast:)

Starting running again tomorrow first thing, will probs take me a week to get my fitness level back, but at least I have my new Running shoes to enjoy:)

Oooooh, new running shoes!

I've just got some of those posh non-do-up elasticated laces which I tried for the first time today - oh boy, what a difference! Really, really pleased with them. As soon as I got home from my treadmill session first thing this morning (6km total including 5 mins warm up/down at beginning and end) I got out the second pair of laces I'd bought and 'installed' them in my everyday sneakers.

I thought my feet were comfy already - but oh boyyyyyyy they feel delicious now my shoes are elasticated!

This message is being typed while I'm coming up from a lawnmowing 3.6. Will get out there again in a few minutes - with luck I can just get that job done before the Murray match starts......... In the meantime, sorry for the hypoglycaemic verbosity.

:)

Do they make your morning mile go quicker, @KevinPotts ? Or maybe not, with your chest infection - hope you're much better.

Ha - just occurred to me - should've said FAST-er, not quicker......!
(I'll get m'coat...)

;)
