Week 3

End of week report.

Week 3.

Three full weeks in and I was starting to fall apart at the seams. The arm pain was getting me down and I was feeling a bit under the weather and by Monday/Tuesday I ended up having a couple of days away from work and the gym.

I got back to life by Wednesday and I did go to the gym that evening, but if truth be told I didn’t really want to. I ended up telling myself that I couldn’t let Nigel get fitter than me and my ego is the only thing that stopped me going home to play the playstation instead.

Thursday was a day of rest.

Friday I was in quite a lot of pain from the arm at work, and after getting my shoulder groped by the first aider at work, she sent me to A&E. The trip to A&E wasted three hours of my life, eventually seen by an impatient doctor who sent me home telling me to have a hot bath and take some ibuprofen (I'm sure I heard him muttering that I was a big hairy wuss girl as he left the cubical).

I did then go to the gym that evening but I left off the weights and rowing machine completely, Instead I did the stomach crunching exercises and the treadmill. I am starting to enjoy pounding the treadmill, and once I plugged in the iPod I got into a zone and built up a sweat made from 20 minutes at 7mph at various inclines (due to the “Fat Burn” setting). By the time I was finished on Friday I was enjoying myself again. Roll on week 4.
