Aqua fit this morning. A good session, but did not put quite so much effort into it because was still feeling a bit emotionally down.

Things have been quiet on the exercise front this week.

Aqua fit this morning. A good session. Afterwards swam a length of the pool doing back stroke. First time since I got back swimming.

Managed to get to body pump this evening. Last time I went was 25 April, so 2 sessions missed. Decided to use the minimum weights to ensure I did not overdo things. Quite a hard session. My motivation has gone at the moment, never the less I've
booked in for next week.

Well body pump again this evening. A little more motivation than last week, still used the minimum weights and the cough did not inhibit me. Not a bad session. I still waiting to get my enegy back.

After missing out for the last two Saturdays I was able to go to aqua fit this morning. A good session. Particularly enjoyed using the water dumb bells. Afterwards swam 4 lengths of the pool doing back stroke. Thats a big improvement on last time.

Must get back into going to the gym. Booked to go to Body Pump on Sunday morning and Thursday evening. Hope to pay a visit there between those two visits.

Followed up yesterday's aqua fit with a body pump session. I was not able to go last Thursday, so it was good to do it again. Feeling pretty mmotivated and used 4 and 5 kg weights throughout. Have not done that for a few weeks. The HRT must be kicking in as my energy is returning. Very warm day and got pretty damp!!

Not many in the class so really watched what I was doing in the mirror. Really shows how because my spine has twisted the hips and shoulders are not even and thus I even hold the bar at a slight angle. The grip in my left hand is still quite weak by comparison to my right. Anyway, I adapt it to suit me and it seems to work well.

I'm booked in for my next session on Thursday evening.

Second Body Pump session of the week. I really enjoyed todays session and came home tired, with aching shoulders, but on a definite high. Something I've not had for several weeks.

Not only did I use 4 kg throughout, but used 7 kg, rather than 5 kg, on the chest track. Had a new track with many more upright raises and found my muscles tied up during this, so did not do it all. Humid and day. A hot and sweaty session.

Booked in for next Thursday. If I'm not out Sunday may try to go again at lunch time.

Another session of aqua fit this morning. A good workout made better as the pool depth was lower than the last couple of sessions. That inch difference in depth makes all the difference to me. Swam 4 lengths of the pool doing back stroke, 2 before and 2 after the session.

Next week the instructor is away. We will have someone else instead - hope its not Robin as he does not work us as hard.

Not a bad Body Pump session this week. My right shoulder muscles really ached after last weeks class. By Wednesday they had cooled down quite a lot, just twinges. Todays session was quite good. Used 7 kg again on the chest track, but took it down to 2 kg for the triceps and shoulder track. Managed the upight raises OK with this lower load, but still a strain. Shoulders were burning afterwards.

Another session of aqua fit this morning. Becky was away on holiday and so another person took the session. Not bad, but not as good. Pool deeper today. The class was overfull. There were at least 3 people who had not booked. As there is always a waiting list for this session it was not fair allowing them to stay. It made the pool overcrowded and several commented about this. Afterwards swam 2 lengths of the pool doing back stroke.

Haven't scrolled back on your journal - lost a couple of my posts yesterday: I know I posted a journal entry - but you are doing lots of exercise and if I am not mistaken your stats have changed.

on the loss.

Thanks for your visit to my journal. Squidgy has kept me very busy reading his Am taking a break from it today.

Take care,

Try, try and try again till it works. It worked first time in Bebe's journal.

Another good Body Pump session. My shoulder muscles are OK now, no aches and pains. Todays session was quite good. Air conditioning really helped. Used 7 kg again on the chest track, but took it down to 2 kg for the triceps and shoulder track. Could really feel the muscles working in the legs and shoulders today.

Booked in for next Thursday.

Becky was certainly back today. A very good session of aqua fit, she made us really work hard to make up for last week!! My legs ached quite a lot during the session.

Before the class did 6 lengths of the pool with backstroke. Improving.

A good Body Pump session. Very warm weather, not over eager to go. Had a couple of new tracks today. The lunge track, one I always find difficult, was a real killer. Am getting better at doing the overhead lifts. Could really feel the muscles working in the lower back and legs today. I was not the only one finding some of the tracks difficult. Some of the others were pulling faces too!!

Booked in for next Thursday.
