Fitness Friday: 12WBT Week 2


It's Friday again, already!!

I've had a bit of a challenging week. It has been a very emotional week but I've been taking our all my stress on the treadmill so that's a plus I guess!

I've not used the 12WBT meal plan at all this week, but I HAVE stuuck to making good choices foodwise. Mostly. Hoping to at least use some of the dinner plans next week but I'm happy to back into menu planning properly for my family and not having junk in the house makes it a lot easier anyway.

We had weigh in on Wednesday and to date I have lost 1kg. I am really happy if that's about it for weight loss for me, and actually hope to be putting on a few kilograms of muscle, I'm working hard for it. The best measure as to success for me will be when we do physical measurements rather than weight I think.

Now I have a question for you fitness gurus. I have a dodgy back and this week it has been pretty horrific on and off. I'm doing the C25K alternating with strength/weights work. Is running not a great idea for me?

I have to say as much as I curse and try to find excuses not to get on the treadmill on running days, the high afterwards can not be beat and I really do intend to achieve my goal of running 4km with my sister at the Mothers Day Classic in May. BUT I don't want to do anything that may be detrimental to my long term health backwise. Has anyone got some tips or ideas for me?
