Fit Friday, more like FAIL Friday

Monday: Fail
Tuesday: Rest Day
Wednesday: Boxercise

Happy?
The weekend was terrible. Monday was even worse. Tuesday was pretty awful. Wednesday was a slight improvement. Thursday, back on track. Not good. I was meant to have a PT on Monday, my first one in ages so I was quite excited, but I was just so tired and run down that I decided not to go. WHYYYY?! I also ate the whole world on Monday. Cakes, coffees, chocolate. WHYYYYYY?! I usually go to HIIT on Tuesdays but it was my dad's birthday so you can let me off for that one! I feel like I weigh 50 stone at the moment. I've managed to turn it round in the last couple of days and I'm writing this before heading off to circuits this morning but it's still not right. It's also now the weekend where it's even harder to stay on track!

How has your eating been?
Like I said: cakes, coffees, chocolate. Oh, and the wine. So much wine. At least eating with Mark in the evenings guarantees that my dinner will be healthy. Its the rest of the day I need to work on. Well, needed to work on. It's over! I'm moving on. I had a bad few days and now I can just forget about it. Onwards and upwards! Hopefully the scale will go downwards.

Fitness Challenge
Surprise, surprise. Another fail.

Last week I set myself the challenge of doing sets of press ups, sit ups and tricep dips. I was going to start with 10 and increase the reps each day. I managed the first set, and that was that. Most of the time it was due to me actually forgetting about it rather than not doing it on purpose, but I could have made more of an effort.

So I am setting myself the same challenge this week along with another. My boyfriend had a CrossFit obsession phase and would trawl the internet reading about it, much to my disdain! Some of the workouts do look pretty good though and he found this huge list of example WODs. I've chosen one that I want to try:

You start with a mile on the treadmill as fast as you go. Then you pick three exercise and do 100 reps of each, ie 10 of exercise one, 10 of exercise two, 10 of exercise three and repeat ten times. Finish with another mile on the treadmill and you're about dead! I was thinking of using a kettlebell and doing weighted squats, bicep curl and press and tricep extensions as my three exercises but that may change.

I'll let you know how I get on! Hopefully next Fit Friday will be more positive and I will have had a better week. Must resist cake, must resist cake...
