Week Two

Hi

This is my second week of going to the gym. I've been going everyday but with Wednesdays and Fridays off. So far I have managed to keep to it. This is also my second week of going to Aquazumba. Which if anyone's thinking of going I highly suggest going to regular Zumba first. Somehow I thought it would be easier but I find it's really hard. Really I almost wish I had made Tuesdays one of my days off but it was a matter of timing. Wednesdays and Fridays I don't really have the time to go. I don't want to stretch to three days off a week because then I'll inevitably manage to talk myself out of going completely. I'm sticking to it and I want to keep sticking to it.

I have also been trying to eat healthier. I make sure to eat at least 5 fruit or veg a day. I do this by making up packed lunches for myself for while I'm at college and I make sure the bulk of it is made up of fruit and veg as well as drinking fruit juice. I also have started actually eating breakfast in the morning. I didn't before but now I make myself have something even if its only a sandwich. I have been looking after my teeth better too by flossing and using mouthwash.

Going to the gym and eating healthier isn't the only way I have been improving my life. I have been keeping organised even trying to start updating my blog more often. I have been keeping on top of the things I have to do and going to bed at a reasonable time I think is helping (Even if I have been waking at six every morning).  I have been working before college and I think that it's helping as it helps to wake me up before really starting my day.

Saturday was my Gran's birthday and I gave her a surprise. I got her ticket to go and see Andrea Borcelli, the blind Italian tenor. My Gran loves him and she was very pleased but... this was a joint present with my Dad. I had told him that I was going up on Sunday because I genuinely thought that was when her birthday was. So when he called her up on Saturday....Let's just say he wasn't a happy bunny. He knows what I'm like with names and dates though so it's not too much of a big deal.

Today I had the day off college and I had a dentist appointment for 12:30 however for some reason I thought it was at 1pm. So they put it back 2 weeks.

I then decided that I wanted to make soup so I cut up all the veg and realised that I should probably get a chicken to make the stock from so I went shooping and picked up more veg, roast potatoes and a whole chicken as well as a lot of things for my packed lunches over the week but when I got to the checkout I realised I had forgot my bank card and I only had twenty pounds on me so I had to put back quite a lot.

Then I went to my Aqua Zumba class and as last week wasn't too vigorous I took heavier weights than last week. Big Mistake. There was a different instructor and she didn't stop at all and it was way more vigorous than last week. My arms actually ache now.

Now I'm just about ready to go to bed. My soups all made and I think I may have that for lunch tomorrow.

Goodnight y'all
