Working Out ahead of Thursday

I haven't made a fitness post in a while, so here goes...

This week I've been trying to get back into an active mode by working out more at the gym. I haven't worked out with Humberto since my return from KS and I had been struggling in our sessions since my weeks travelling in August.

The WeightWatchers program has a target of 28 Activity Points a week which I have to say is pretty tough to pull off. Last night's 35 minutes of skipping is only worth 5 points (6 if I want to claim being a few pounds heavier). I imagine that the (high) Activity Points target is for motivation purposes as clearly you're not doing yourself any harm being so active. The program is going pretty well and my analysis of my eating habits has been informative if not terrifying.

I can't recall mentioning it, but rugby this year ended with a whimper when we only had 5 guys show up for a last run. Very disappointing. I'm gravely concerned that our summer runs wouldn't continue next year as careers, marriage and children compete for the afternoons.

  • "...careers, marriage and children compete for the afternoons." sadly all of which have absolutely no relevance to you. You could be left playing with your (rugby) balls alone!

  • Not exactly true. I have been known to work and travel from time-to-time.
