Au Debut
One week off while I was travelling in Japan.
It was a good break for me mentally and physically.
The darn Jet-lag killed me while I was there but now that I am back, it seems to have gone away.

I was definitely still knackered from the flight and all but I did hit the gym and that’s something good that I did 🙂 Hope things will get back to the routine soon.
Wednesday – Cardio
Wanted to try a new thing so I got on the Elliptical machine. It was harder than I thought! Didn’t think I could do that for half an hour so I did for 10 min and moved to the usual treadmill machine for another 20 min. It was a good cardio day, I think.

It felt like very light exercises this morning. I’m still afraid of doing pullups with weight. I still feel a pull with a slight pinch at the end of negative movement when I’m doing pullups. I do need to strech my body more or I will injure myself again. Let’s hope next week will be a good training week.
Notes to me-self
All in all it was a good week of light sessions.
Eric wanted to push a bit more but I have been injured a few times this year, he pulled back and said to keep it lighter.
I’m a little concerned about my left shoulder.
It keeps making a clicking sound every time we do any exercises.
I should go see a physiotherapist and see if I can do something to re-strengthen the area or find out what exercises to avoid if need the time to heal.
I don’t think it’s an injury. It’s more like my bone structure prevents certain movements to be less fluid than others.
Small positioning change could prevent the joints from clicking I hope…
Oh I was eating quite a lot of rice while I was in Japan but I lost 2kg!!!
WTF innit?!
