Oh, I love four day weeks!

Although, as I’m so prone to over indulging on Saturday and Sundays; I’d probably be double my size if three day weekends were the norm. So here we are again at the end of the week and I once again am teetering on the brink of sofa slobbivile: munching on boxes of Mr Kipling cakes and drinking vats of wine. I got off to a good start last night though as I went to the cinema. One G&T before the movie and a small class of white afterwards…not bad! In super organised mode, I had picked up a salad in M&S earlier that day so I wasn’t tempted by the pick ‘n’ mix or greasy Nachos. A virtuous start to the weekend, but eek! Lunch with friends followed by friend’s 30th birthday drinks? Now if that doesn’t sound like a diet disaster…

I shunned the hot, hellish hole of a gym last night and went for a run around my local park. I completely underestimated just how hot it was (even at 7pm!) and struggled, red faced, half-way round. As nice as it felt not to be running with loads of layers on, there was a part of me that missed my snugly hoodie and the icy wind in my face. Most of all though I missed the privacy the dark nights gave me. I felt so exposed running in broad daylight dodging serene couples taking a civilised evening stroll. At least in the dead of winter, my red face didn’t stand out like a beacon even if it was paralysed with frostbite.

After last week’s challenging Pilates

session I thought I’d head back to yoga, as all the bending, twisting and balancing actually seemed easier than standing and breathing. So, as I rolled up expecting a good stretch and a bit of a lie down, it was somewhat of a rude awakening to discover the teacher had different ideas! A gruelling session followed, leaving me walking taller, but much, much slower; at least I now know how yogi-Madonna looks so good! So, I’m back to walking like a cowboy again and not looking forward to tonight’s gym session. Am thinking about going swimming, although the traumatic experience of my last effort is still rather fresh in my mind!
