Day 31: Resorted to cycling hill
Feeling like I am getting the flu since yesterday so resorted to riding hills on my bicycle instead of skipping. Also first time I haven't been able to complete an exercise. The katana felled my half-way through. 4x25 leg lifts a huge step up and body certainly felt it. Had to do the plank on my knees, but despite feeling like death warmed over I felt that I was listening to my body rather than giving up. Was ready to give up half way through the leg lifts, but since I am determined to work on my abs especially hard, I just fixed on a corner in my mind and went for it, albeit it not at the fastest speed. Looking forward to a better day tomorrow.

Take care of yourself Conny. If you are getting sick, don't push it too hard.
ReplyDeleteLots of rest and fluids.
Good effort Conny but like Tracey's mentioned, take it easy. Crossing fingers this flu thing will blow over soon for you.
ReplyDeleteNow I'd better get to my exercises... And the bloody blog!
You are doing so well and remember what Patrick said, listen to your body. We are pushing them hard so it's better to take your foot of the gas for a while, get better then crank it up again. Remember we want to finish this race and sometimes we need to be the tortoise and not always the hare.
ReplyDeletePatrick recommended that Richard cut his carbs if he isn't able to finish all the exercises. Don't push yourself but maybe check to see if you need to change your diet at all. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteYep, I was recommended to cut my carbs and do some other cardio instead of skipping. But even if you miss some exercises/days etc, don't fret- just look at what you have achieved so far! Look at the huge difference in your photos and the tone on your muscles!
ReplyDeleteIts not a competition- important to get some perspective around this, and as you say listen to your body but as soon as you are feeling better, get back to the discipline of following the programme, and continue to be motivated by the great changes you've seen so far!
Thank you everyone, for all your support, for your words of wisdom and for your perspective!
ReplyDeleteAm feeling much, much better!
