Glad to be back at the gym - I have my boxacise class tomorrow - I LOVE that class. It took me about 3 months before I could hit that damn speedball properly, I'm so uncoordinated! But now it's a class I don't miss for anything. So am looking forward to getting back into it tomorrow.

Did 45 min of cardio today. Geez I get bored sometimes though. Am thinking I will probably make my schedule like this:

Monday - PT
Tuesday - day off
Wed - Spin
Thurs - weights
Friday - Box

I'm going to have a chat to Drew after the class tomorrow and talk to him about maybe doing a few fitness and strength tests for my PT on Monday - I want these next 12 weeks to be about change, not just about losing weight, but getting stronger and fitter and faster. I want to be able to measure and see my progress - it'll help keep me motivated, rather than just saying "yeah, I know I'm stronger" - so vague. I want to be able to say "12 weeks ago I could only hold a prone position for xyz, now I can hold it for xxx" . Does that make sense?

My legs ache tonight. Not a muscle sore ache, but just a tired ache. My knees are sore - I knew the minute I started running to the treadmill that they would be. I need to check out our private health insurance and see if knee surgery is covered, if it is, I'm definately going to investigate what might be wrong with them ... they click all the time - Drew says they sound like a 60 year olds knees! Any time I do squats, lunges, climb stairs, they click away!

Am really enjoying the recipes in the CSIRO book - they're really yummy.
