For some reason I took a bit of a break from working out regularly – or at least cardio workouts. I somehow got tired of the treadmill and convinced myself that I could make do without it. Instead, I joined Pilates and Yoga classes that are offered in my building. However, they don’t do enough to burn the calories since I continue to eat more than I should. No matter how much I try to eat less, R is a food pusher and will not relent! π
So, one step away from eating on smaller plates, I have decided to get myself back into the routine of working out on the treadmill again. So far it has been good. If I set distance or time goals and do not use any of the other setting on the machine, I find that I am more motivated. I still read, which is helpful as well. This week, I think I am going to try to run out in Yas, where some of my friends have been going. It’s perhaps the best outdoor venue aside from the Corniche, but it is a bit far from home (about 30mins drive). I’m thinking if I combine it with a trip to Ikea, it might be worth checking out…. π
In any case, it does feel good to get up and moving again. Maybe I’ll stick with the running plan for longer this time.
