Double Dip

In an unusually hardcore move, today I did two bits of exercise! In the morning before work, a back-and-biceps gym session, and after work the Spinder spin class I often go to.

Both went pretty well, although mid-spin I was visibly flagging with tiredness.

This is the shortest entry so far, mostly because I'm knackered. I was so tired and hungry that I stopped off at the chippy on the way home for some fish and chips. It might not be the best diet food but I'd definitely earned it!

Halloween Horrors

It's been a busy weekend! Saturday started as it usually does - my weekly rowing outing with the Otters. This week I was assigned to be in David, which I wasn't entirely happy about as the seats in that boat really don't agree with my bum - there's something about the shape of it that chafes, and true enough it really wasn't comfortable at all, so I was digging out the sudocreme afterwards! Straight home from the docks and straight into putting together my halloween costume for the rowers' party that evening. My idea involved a hula hoop, some coathangers, a load of duct tape, hair gel, and a shower curtain. Yes, that's right - I was going as the famous shower scene from Psycho. I've always designed my own halloween costumes - it's much more fun than just buying something ready-made from a shop, even if it doesn't look quite so polished. Last year I was a dead Lightning from Gladiators, with a blonde wig and a pugil stick made from two Coke b...

Leg It!

Thankfully today was a lot more successful - I managed to leave the house in good time and make it to the gym before 8am, and thus had time to complete my leg day routine. Managed to up the weights on several of the exercises - up to 140kg on the leg push machine and 30kg on the leg straighten and leg curl machines. (You'll notice that I have no real idea what the proper name for various exercises are, I tend to translate them into something I'll recognise when trying to remember where to go in the gym next!) I think it's a bit of a cruel joke that they always seem to put gyms upstairs - after a leg day workout I end up walking down them like I've just had my knees operated on, and crossing the road becomes an absolute hazard as I hobble around like an arthritic penguin! I'd brought in a load of the chicken I cooked last night, so I had that and some of my usual fruit and greek yogurt for breakfast, so that was already 46g of protein. I've still not quite go...

Gappiness

So it turns out I'm better at going to the gym than I am at remembering to write this blog. So let's whistle through the gap between the last entry and this one! Since the last entry, I went to the gym again on Thursday and did legs, which then meant I couldn't walk very well for the next 2 days as my lower body felt like parts of it had been dismantled and put either side of a large wheelbarrow. Friday gym didn't happen thanks to my body deciding just as I left the house that what it'd really prefer to be doing is dashing to the loo. Very helpful of it. However, Saturday was my first rowing session in about 3 or 4 weeks, and I had a lovely 2 hours rowing up and down the dock in some quite gorgeous weather. Thinking "hey, it's late October", I brought several layers of long-sleeved tops, with a sleeveless top underneath as a sort of bodywarmer layer, plus some leggings (the ones with a hole in the side, as I discovered after I put them on, torn d...
