More outdoor exercise means more weights

Recent good weather has meant I have been doing more outside exercise such as running and walking. Therefore I have been doing fewer cardio- sessions at the gym, doing weights instead.

I've been really enjoying doing them and stretching my strength abilities a little bit (not too much!). I'm also pleased that I have been finding the 20 minute run on the treadmill fairly easy. Perhaps I should up the times a bit - but that will take my sessions to over an hour!

After my recent 4 mile run, I'm looking forward to my next opportunity on Thursday morning! I want to run a similar time, perhaps a little faster as I will have a go at sprinting on the long straights!

It's a shame I can't afford personal training sessions because I'd love to know how I am doing and what I can do to do it better.

I've already asked my parents for money on my birthday towards 4 sessions on the Power Plate at my gym. People say it's a good workout and really beneficial. I hope so!

I keep bouncing between 73Kg and 74Kg on the scales. I really want to get me to the stage where I am consistently below 73Kg. I'm still aiming for 66Kg, a total of 13Kg lost (about 2 stone). One day...
