Working Out & Meeting Friends

Remember when I told you about my hurting back? Well, the problem is still not solved so the doc advised me to take rehabilitation sports classes.
Unfortunately, my private health insurance does not (want to) cover the costs. PUBLIC health insurance does. Go figure!
Does not matter, though, because these classes are also included in my gym membership.
My first class was last week. When I entered the gym, I saw a familiar face among the other members: a friend of mine! And I did not even know she had joined the gym.
I had hoped to have found a workout buddy but I have not seen her since although she wanted to join me in the classes I was taking. Hope she has not given up (yet).

No Improvement

I took this photograph on January 1, 2013. I cropped it because there's no way (yet?) I'm going to show you my thighs. Unfortunately, I haven't lost any weight since my last photo (October 17, 2012) and nothing has changed. *sigh*

Eating healthier and running haven't helped yet, or so it seems. That means I have to invest more time in working out and make healthier food choices still.

Fab Abs: Day 2

Yesterday, I told you about Fab Abs January. After day 1, my abs do feel a little sore - which tells you a lot about my current fitness level (it's looooooow...). 

Today, it was 10 sit-ups, 5 push-ups, and a 15 sec plank. Man, I would never have expected planks to be such a pain!
