Finding Time

I have a huge problem with finding time to do things, one of which is to sit down and write my blog like I would like to. I had started at least five different entries this week but none of them ever seemed to get finished.

Because I work for myself and I tend to work at a breakneck speed most of the time, I also tend to want to switch off from the world and get away from my computer.

I am however finally out of my break from the gym and went back last night for the first proper weights session in nearly two weeks. I had gone a few times a week to do some cardio, just to keep the blood pumping, but I knew that my body really needed a good rest after working out 6 times a week for several months without a significant break.

I was all prepared to have to really lessen my weights on my routines, but I was amazed that my strength was all still there, and in fact I had gained some strength too!

So my workout was good and I left the gym feeling fatigued but good about myself. I still haven't caught up with my mate to do me a new workout routine, so I am still on the one from here, but I am hoping that will change this weekend.

My mate has indicated that this time it is a four day a week routine leaving me two days for full on cardio and abs and one day for me starting Yoga.

For my friends that know me I have the worlds worst posture, I tend to stoop, hunch my shoulders and my stomach sticks out, even when I have no body fat! I have struggled on and off with a bad back ever since I was a teenager, and over the years have been told to try Alexander Technique, Pilates and Yoga.

However I have never tried any of them (yeah I am a slack ass) and although the fitness routine I am on has helped pull my shoulders back I am really keen on learning how to hold myself better (the posture and inner strength etc).

My gym is offering a four week beginners course in Yoga starting tonight and that's what I am going to do. I am kind of worried about it, because I have no coordination and doing things that involves coordination takes both a lot of effort and a lot of time for me to get right.

But none the less I am going to do this!

On another gym note a really good friend has agreed to start working out with me, which is way cool! He is not at the same workout obsession as I am, but I reckon that even if we can only workout half the time it will help me and him along.

So there we are my ramblings for this kind of overcast Wednesday!
