    July 16th - July 20th: Done another bike ride, and another 1:20 fast walk. Done daily physio and lots of dog walking. Kept up with the daily core exercises and so has hubby!!

    Ok, it seems I can't even do a month without getting lazy with my updates here, so have done a few-days catch-up in one. Basically i'm happy with the exercise. I was going to go out again on the bike yesterday, but didn't, so feeling slightly guilty that I dodged it without any good excuse. Other than that i'm happy that my knee seems to be gradually improving still which means i'm back to the stage where I can do a decent hour or so fast-walking for a bit of exercise which is fantastic. Also happy that I've kept up the new nightly core exercises. They're making me feel a bit achy in a good way, so hey must be ramped up enough to be actually doing something by now!

  • I got in 2 dvd workouts today. The second one was so tough! It was the lower body weights workout in Brazil Butt Lift. I'd forgotten how killer it is! Then again, back when I was doing it regularly, I weighed a whole lot less, so it probably felt easier. I first started the workout program at 109 and it dropped me down to 102! That was way too low though for my frame, so I deliberately regained back to 109. What I really wanted to do back then, but didn't know enough about yet, was a recomp. So I should've been eating at a small surplus when I started the workouts. Anyway, I'll be happy this time around to get down to 120'ish and then start a recomp. I hope I can stick with this program. I know from past experience how well it shapes my body and builds muscle.
