August Fitness Chat

Wow, another month down. Isn’t it crazy how time flies? It all seems to go a lot faster when the second half of the year rolls around. As with my last few updates, I’m still not 100% back on track with my fitness plan. But at this stage I’m putting it down to a mix between the winter weather draining my motivation, and the bouts of illness I’ve been having over the past few months. I’m still not feeling better but there have been some really lovely days lately, with the sun out and the temperatures not too low, and I’m feeling more motivated now than I have done in the past few months. Onwards and upwards!

July Goals
I was slowly getting back into the swing of things this month, and kind of accomplished my goal of more gold stars in my planner. Well… there’s more in there than there was last month, I’ll say that much. As for visiting our local gym and trying out their services – no. That did not happen.

Monthly Goals
I’ll have unlimited access to a treadmill in September, so I want to focus on building back up to running again. I also want to undertake a kind of fitness ‘challenge’, and at this stage I think it’ll be the squat challenge from the Lorna Jane fitness diary. I also want to get my health on track, and my doctor and I have the ball rolling, and hopefully we’ll have something figured out soon.
