Weigh in - 22nd July

It's safe to say, I'm really struggling to move today. I went to visit my new job last week and was rather impressed so I joined. It's not very big but every time I've been since it's been very quiet, which is definitely a selling point for me. I haven't signed up for any classes yet, but I do plan to. For now I'm just working on getting back into a gym routine. In less than a week I've managed 3 gym sessions and a dance class. So I think I'm doing rather well.

I went to my first professional dance class last night and it was so much fun but I really am suffering today. I don't know how I've managed it but I seem to have pulled something in my back. Not ideal but it does seem to be easing. It was remarkably good after my gym session tonight which I was very surprised at, I'll probably regret the decision to go and workout though if I'm struggling even more in the morning. But overall it was a good session and has given me a lot to of areas improve on.

I don't think the gym is the reason behind this but, the extra weight I gained last week I've lost. To loose it so easily I'm pretty sure it was just water weight, but I'm not going to complain if it means I've got back to my maintain level. I've just got to keep going and hopefully my routine will fall back into place soon.

All in all a relatively good week.

Weigh in - 8th July

I haven't got much to say in these weigh in weeks at the moment. I'm still on track to keep maintaining for the next few weeks until I get into my flat. So I'm rather pleased, especially since I've been slacking on the gym. A combination of long work hours and a bad back has made it pretty hard to get to the gym.

I've made the decision to switch gyms, my current one is very basic, not very welcoming and doesn't feel motivating at all, and have spent time researching different ones in my new area. I've made the decision to join one that's a short drive away, but has a wide range of classes on offer, more variety of machines and equipment to use, and is still reasonably priced. I'm going to try and book an induction this week if I can, if not I might wait until I move and get settled to make the switch.

I'm so achy off dancing yesterday. My lovely teacher decided we needed to do a lot of stretching so had us doing all sorts, and now I'm very stiff and achy. Only downside to the whole day was my knee beginning to pull and hurt again because I'd forgotten my knee pads. Note to self: be better organised.

I'm hoping the combination of my back hurting and my knee pulling isn't a sign of what my old age is going to be like.
