Fit Friday: Cassius Edition


It feels like I've missed loads of these but it's only been one. Last Friday I was enjoying some down time with my family and a certain someone that I hadn't seen for 3 months.

So back to it...


How fit was my week on a scale of 1-10? 1 being cheesecake, 10 being 1000 plank rows?

ermm. I can't remember, so probably a 4. I'm kinda blending the last two weeks together for this post.




What exercise have I done?

Saturday - Nope.
Sunday- Only the mother flipping Race For Life! So, a 5K.
Monday - Body Pump class
Tuesday - Kettlebells class
Wednesday - Step class
Thursday- Spin, pump, abs class
Friday- Maybe a rest day? Maybe a run?

What has my eating been like?

Weeee-helll. I have been for a few meals, both at restaurants and people's houses. Food has included, but is not limited to, cheesecake, waffles, cannelloni, dough sticks, popcorn, veggie percy pigs, popchips, rich tea biscuits, ice cream... As you can see, eating has not been stellar this past fortnight.


How have I felt?

Not exactly energetic, but not too shabby. I knew that I'd be eating a few 'bad' things this week but whatever, I'm a grown up, I can cope with eating nice things without having a breakdown about it. Those things taste nice and I like to have them from time to time.



Have I lost any weight?

I weighed myself on Tuesday and to my surprise, not only had I not put on a stone of cheesecake weight, I'd actually lost the pound I put on last week. So, I am back to the total 4lbs loss. NICE. Going to keep pushing hard this week to make sure I don't have a delayed cheesecake gain.

What would I like to work on next week?

I would like to get my eating back to the scheduled protein fest it was before, and either sign up to a Friday gym class, or commit to a Friday gym session, with weights brah.

Fit Friday : Cassius Edition







How fit was my week on a scale of 1-10? 1 being a burger pizza, 10 being Chalene Johnson.


4. Definitely not great but better than last week.

What exercise have I done?


I was all set to get back to the gym on Sunday after my ankle had returned to an almost normal size, however I then got a cold and couldn't breathe properly. Therefore I didn't make it to the gym until Wednesday. Good news! My ankle can hack running again! Did a little 3K so as not to shock it, Thursday I did a faster 3K and then 3K on the bike. All seems to be working as normal, so next week I can get back to my usual classes, runs, and super hot gym style (see below, HOT) !



What has my eating been like?


At times good, at times bad. My main regret has been the amount of ice cream I've had this week. For 3 or so days my throat was so sore that nothing but ice cream would sooth it. Still. No excuse. Lazy eating. Must improve this week.

How have I felt?


Run down and gross. Now that the cold is clearing I'm feeling a bit better. My first run back was glorious and I realised just how much I'd missed that good post exercise feeling!

Have I lost any weight?


No le se. I failed to weigh myself again. I imagine there was an ice cream related gain this week.

What would I like to work on next week?


Well how about number one, I remember to go to Boots and weigh myself? Secondly, getting back on track with my running. Now that I know that my ankle is fine I can work on improving my 5K speed. Thirdly, no ice cream or the like. I'm doing well with my no chocolate for 100 days challenge but I don't want to replace one sugary thing with another.
