I am writing this blog entry a few days early as I will be on Annual Leave for the week commencing 17 October - back at work after the long weekend. Reflecting back on this week, I think that I am making some progress with exercising - last week I wanted to give up completely! I went to the gym Monday and Thursday with my PT & she worked me very hard but I also went ALONE on Tuesday! How about that? I also went to my pilates class in Mosgiel on Wednesday.
This next week, I am going away on a Road Trip with my husband - Ashburton, back to Timaru then through Tekapo, Aoraki, then to our caravan at Alexandra for the long weekend. I hope that we can watch the rugby finals somewhere. I do hope to get a bit of walking in during this time away.
Have had a word with my doctor who has advised some changes in my life-style - good food, exercise & yes, I can still have a glass of wine!

Week 7 & 8, Spring In2it!
I have been a bit slack & not updated the blog for a couple of weeks. Week 7 I wasn't very well & had a couple of days off work - so only managed some stair climbing on a couple of days, the gym once & didn't get to pilates. Week 8 was still feeling a bit slow but by Wednesday e tama was able to encourage me to start climbing the stairs again! Went to pilates that week & even went to the gym on my own! I really am not a gym person and have only been going when my PT has been with me. As she has been on holiday, I was expected to go it alone. I coped very well , I think, (despite the fact that I sat in the car outside trying to decide whether to go in or not) & even pushed myself along a bit with what I did. I had almost decided to give up on this whole Spring in2it stuff but encouragement from the team has kept me going.
I think that I may have even lost a bit of weight as I had a visit to the Dr when I was sick & I am sure that there was a bit of a difference (perhaps his scales were wrong?). Need to have a change of diet as well so no more sugar on my cereal in the morning or in my tea!! That will be a challenge as I love my cups of tea. Am trying to drink green tea instead.
Went for a bike ride on Sunday around the Taieri for about an hour which I enjoyed & hope to do more of. And off to the gym again tonight!!
