Another week starts and I feel GRAND

I kno, I know, I know. I did not blog yesterday, for the simple reason that I was way to busy. Fitness in the morning went well. Then I had lunch at George's . Goerge is the cook to the American Ambassador in The Netherlands, so lunch at his place is a treat. Then home at 4 PM as I had a guest for dinner. I made sushi, and a salad with sweet red pepper, cumcumber ricewhine and chili peppers.

Fitness yesterday was not as active as I had hoped but for some reason my muscles ached and were tired, more so than usual. The "muscle"machines were claimed by a horde of body builders, so I decided not to make a fool of myself by doing my 'thang' there. To be honest I just did not have the gumption to do it.

So I attacked the cross trainer, the bicycle and the tredmill. I am now on 5 mins cardio training for the cross trainer which is quite an achievement. I have to admit that I can see how it can be very addictive, once you get the right rythm going, preferably to music that makes you "jam" you can really keep going. I will be doing some serious music downloading on my creative. Because I want to crank up the time to 10 minutes, and I think some music will do the trick.

I have noticed that getting my heartbeat up to 141 optimum for cardio is hard work. I can get it up to 130 with some good old fashioned legwork after about 5 mins, but the last 10 is HARD work, real hard. But I manage usually after about 8 minutes, and keep it up for about 2 minutes. yesterday and today I got on the tread mill and did 10 minutes at a good pace. It is a near run, but I keep myself from running, because I know the impact on my knees is just going to be too big. For now I stick to low impact, and will be for some time to come. I want to wait to do that untill I am under 110 kg/242 lbs.

On wednesday I may go swimming, 30 minutes or so. Have not done that yet. Eventhough I love swimming! we'll see. Today I can feel my lower back, and the tops of my hips. Today I did muscle training for my upper body. Tomorrow I will be working on my lower body, legs, stomach, hips. I have noticed a drastic difference in my facial skin. I think due to the steam room and the sauna my skin is cleaner, less infammated and has a peach like feel to it.

Basically we are talking Fitess and Wellnessin one package. I am feeling FITter, not fit yet, and very WELL. So it works. Additionally it really keeps me on the straight and narrow food wise. When I go back to my bicycle I go one extra foor down to huge health store super market, everything there is organic, and I get my cud for the morning, and if I feel like it some juice as well. Yesterday I had elderberry juice, but found out after I drank it, it had added honey to it. I am really trying to cut out added sugars. And that also includes added honey. Even if it is organic!

This week is a 5 x 8 hour week. Which is easier on my schedule. Means I can leave at 5:15 PM today. I will have a kip when I get back! Have a nice day today! Enjoy it!

Oh yes, and I had a go at the scales they have at the gym. BAD move, very bad move. I was not fazed by the weight it indicated, because it actually means I have lost weight. But it tells me my body fat mass as well..................62%! -grins- I really am a tub of lard! BUT the good thing is it will go down, so it will only get better!
