Weekend!

My weekend has officially started, I am so happy.

After work today I met up with a friend for coffee, and then I went to the gym.

I asked the guy at the gym to give me some advice on what exercises I should do to tone up my arms, and he was very helpful. He showed me how to use five different machines and use the free weights (I must admit that going into the weights room surrounded by burly men was intimidating to say the least, but now that I know what I’m supposed to do I will have more confidence to go there again).

Now my arms are killing me, I can barely type. But it’s all good. My stomach muscles still hurt from Wednesday, so I only did the plank for my core and avoided sit-ups; I don’t want to overdo it.

I will hopefully be back in the gym on Sunday too.

Food intake has been a bit high, but that’s because I tried to up my protein intake for the day after the gym. I am hoping I’ll not be too sore tomorrow, and I am planning in eating light (I’ll have a nice veg soup or something).

 

A friend of mine has also asked me to call up to hers’ tomorrow night, and whilst I want to, I am worried of all the empty calories I’ll inevitably take with drink and nibbles, so I don’t know what to do.

Overall, today was a very good day. I would highly recommend going to the gym to anyone, you honestly feel really good afterwards.

Does this pic put a smile to anyone else's face? I don't know why, but there's something quite cute about it! (I am a bit weird, I know...)
