Simplicate and Add Lightness

Well, I’ve been pretty busy since the epic cross country journey, but thankfully I have managed to start getting active again.

What I haven’t managed to do, however, is log my activity on here!

Having taken the decision to join a gym, after finding one that looked decent and opens at 5am, I’ve been getting up and hitting the gym on the way to work most days.

This is the first time I’ve lifted weights in a long time (at least with any regularity). I’m using muscles that haven’t been used in a while and it’s a painful beginning.

Overall, now 4 weeks into working out again, I haven’t lost any weight, but according to my electronic scale I’ve dropped 1% in bodyfat.

Is it telling the truth? I don’t know, but I’m feeling stronger.

The weather is starting to warm up (although snow is in the forecast in the next couple of days) so it might soon be time to unleash the noble steed on the local highways and byways!!

The biggest problem I have right now is: I have no goal. What should I be aiming for???

40 mins on the stationary bike followed by 20 mins of weights.

Personal trainer time tomorrow…should be interesting!

Well, today was the first piece of exercise Ive been able to fit in since relocating cross-country.

I joined a gym last week, but then spent the next few days ill, so finally got there for the first time. I was a bit disjointed this morning for other reasons so only managed a 1/2 hour on the rower then bailed out.

This is the first time I’ve been in a gym since I was 23 I think…I turned 32 last week.

I’ll be back at it in the morning, all going well I’ve put in a better effort.
