3 Hours at the gym...where has my life gone?

Monday night was an epically long session. I left for the gym at 16:30 and got home at 19:30.  It started off with Body Pump where I managed to keep my weights from last week but definitely feel stronger this week - basically it didn't hurt as much as usual.  I am most proud that I managed to stick with the whole and track and do the planning section without falling.

Straight after Pump the new boxing class started.   It was the techniques session for the people who haven't been to the Wednesday session.  I was flying solo since the Mr was working away. The class was good but I don't like working with strangers. Social awkward capacity levels were reached, blown past and exploded. Could. Not. Deal. The class was good but for some reason I still seem to be boxing favouring my left side. Weird!

Today I was exhausted from the workout. I felt like I had no time to myself last night and by the time I had my shower it was bed time already. Because of the stage in at my weight loss is at a bit of a plateau which means my motivation and drive is in major decline. I'm trying everything but I feel like I may not actually be eating enough. I'm not sure really. What I do know is it took a LOT to drag myself to PT tonight.

PT started with an incline fast walk for 10 minutes then a bit of HIIT training - no pyramid this time a straight 5 sets of 5 exercises with a break of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 1 minute then 30 seconds. The workout was as follows:
30 secs - kettlebell swings (6kg)
30 secs - kettlebell squat raises (6kg)
30 secs - shoulder press (bar plus 3.75kg)
30 secs - burpees on stepper
30 secs - step ups on stepper

We finished the session with some ab crunches. Then I went with the Mr to yoga.

Yoga was a lot of fun, very relaxing and exactly what I needed today. I feel very much robbed of time due to commitments at the gym. From now on I am going to drop body pump on a Monday I think. I haven't fully decided. What I have decided is that I am going to do a weekly yoga session. I really love it.

Hopefully Thursday will be a  more cheery post!
