I have neglected to do a proper weekly wrap for a few weeks, I can attribute this to the fact I have dropped the ball a bit with my training and had not a great deal to report, so I got my head back in the game and managed to get myself moving this week and keep going.
Monday – I returned to my Indoor Rowing PT session and although not feeling entirely motivated I managed to do a workout that inflicted some pain on ye ole muscles the following day.
Tuesday – I tossed up between going on an expedition to IKEA and doing a session at the gym. I needed things from IKEA for our home renovations and being that it is an hour trip each way and about 3 hours to venture around the store it truly was an expedition with Miss 3.5 in tow. So the end result is I ditched a gym session and went shopping.
Wednesday – I really wanted to do a workout to make up for yesterday’s shopping trip but work got in the way, I should have no excuses but life does get in the way.
Thursday – Anzac Day I had a call from some friends to say they were at our local Café, so I rounded up the family on the bikes and we headed down and had a drink and a play at the park, then we headed off for a bike ride. Miss 3 was very whingy and I only managed to get about 3k before the whinging drove me mad and I turned around, so a 6k ride was all we did.
Friday – I had a late start at work so headed to the gym to tackle my new weights session, so I did a 10 minute warm up on the Crosstrainer and then managed to do 3 sets of 10 of my new program and even bumped 1 of my weights up.
Saturday – I could feel the pain from yesterday’s weights but I did make an effort to get to a 7am boxing class. I found a good boxing buddy of similar level and fitness which makes a big difference to the class.
Sunday – back to home renovations and moving boxes and boxes of stuff and furniture to rip up carpet in 2 rooms, we managed to get 1 room done entirely and remove all the nails and tacks. We have to get the other room done this week as the floors are being sanded next weekend.
So with 3 good sessions with my gym and PT and lots of incidental exercise I feel like I have got back on track.
My goal for this week is to keep this up and add in that extra session instead of shopping.
Hey, walking around Ikea for 3 hours IS exercise! lol. That place is huge!! Good to see you’re back on track with your training Rach. Loving the big pic of Miss E too.

Ikea is always the winner – I challenge anyone to ONLY buy what they went to get…

I say a shopping trip at Ikea counts as a session too! Lots of walking, lifting and chasing the kids around the store haha

Looks like IKEA gave you a pretty good workout anyway! Sounds like an impressively exercisery week; well done.

Wow, that made me tired just reading it! Well done for getting back into it – once you let yourself ease up getting back out the door again can be the hardest part!

Good on you for getting into training/Gym so much! And I LOVE Ikea so yeah that would win in our Household 🙂
Moving and Renovations would be such a good work out let alone the Gym Sessions!

Ikea is always a winner – but that place is so huge that you got your workout walking around it pushing the big trolley! Love those leggings on little miss!
