thanks Shawn. I’m getting there on the running. I managesd 20 minutes last night so I get to move on to week 6. It definitely works to improve the fitness. I was drenched in sweat afterwards but felt I had reached a milestone.

I didn’t eat to exercise today and felt the effects in the gym. Though I eat healthily I didn’t have many carbs. I managed to stick it out but i’ll plan better in future.

This was a hard workput but I wanted to do as much as I could on my day off. finding the time to get a session in is my biggest challenge so when I have time I like to go for it. I have a little toddler at home and he keeps me busy. I put him to bed during the week so am running out the door to get the last hour/hour and a half in the local gym. It helps to be accountable on this forum, it means I turn up more than I would have.
Anyway, it was a good week in terms of my fitness. I can see some progress on the running and the weights. I would like to get 4 sessions in this week.
C25k program - 35 mins

It was a good session in the gym. I did a lot of running and weights. It helped that I got to the gym earlier, was able to get my little boy to bed earlier as he was very tired and grumpy.
I had a good feed of pasta at lunchtime which gave me the energy to go further. I am so used to eating healthy food that trying a very good taliatelle Carbonara is a real treat. A great comfort food on a cold and rainy day. Yummy.
This is my wekend excercise. It was very busy with family stuff but I managed to move....
Day 57
Lumpyland workout - this involved taking 2 energetic toddlers to an indoor play centre and running/climbing etc for 2 hours. It felt great to be able to involve myself fully in the fun. I wouldn’t have been able to do that a year ago. I was able to get in a quick gym session in the afternoon and managed 25 minutes of running on the couch to 5k program. It was tough but this gets me to 4k so I am moving ion the right direction.
Day 58
50 minutes walk at a brisk pace. The day was chocabloc with family activities so I was happy to get in this walk. I slept soundly afterwards.
My exercise was thrown a bit this week by a trip to the doctor. The energy levels aren’t what they usually are but I did manage to get to the gym last night. Hopefully i’ll be better in a few days.
I’m getting back to myself thankfully and the doctor didn’t find anything major wrong with me. I went on 2 long walks at the weekend to clear the cobwebs away but I took it easy otherwise. I have felt run down due to a hectic schedule in and out of work.
this is a big week for me as my wife is scheduled to give birth to our second child on THursday. I can predict that it will play havoc with my exercise for a few months. I hope to keep moving though in whatever way I can.
