Today is a good day!

It started with the scales teasing me, they hovered between 138.9 and 140 but stopped on 140. Progress though!!

I then did a great hour of cardio on the treadmill, I have blistered the under side of my heels though as I had that much of a stomp on.  And my stretching was bloomin brilliant. I am only a hairs breath away from straightening my legs with my palms flat on the floor just in front of my feet. 

It only takes a day like this every so often to make it all worth while!  Its not often I am that pain free either, it just makes me more determined to push on with my stretching too.

I have been making an effort when I am on the treadmill to watch the way I walk. I can see my reflection in the windows now its dark so I can see how close my legs move to each other.  I have been making an effort to bring them out a bit so that I don't almost kick myself on every stride, its amazing the difference it makes to the pain in my legs, its immediately almost totally gone from the start.  I am wondering if that's why I have blisters actually, my strike point of my foot will be different so it will be an area of skin that isn't used to being battered.  My feet are also really pathetic and blister with the slightest change of anything!

Lunch today is super yummy! I have a cauliflower and parsnip soup base (which comes in at a whopping 80 calories, or there about!) I have added some quinoa and the Dal and curried chickpeas I still had left.  Really tasty!! I don't have a pic as it really doesn't look appetising, you will have to take my word on it!

Ultrabreathe update

Thought this should amuse people! And the shite picture situation is soon to be resolved as my new phone should be here on Monday! Woo, Nexus 4 world, here I come

As you know, I got this funky little device on Wednesday, so 2 days ago.  I forgot to do it this morning, but other than that I have done it morning and night, so 4 time so far.  I can feel the difference on this resistance already! I will be adjusting it in the morning I think, so something is definitely working..

A side note, I noticed tonight that I felt so much more supple when I did my stretching routine.  The only difference is that I haven't been doing my classes, just working out by myself. So, all is going well so far it would seem! I have NEVER been supple, so this is a novelty for me.  I can sit flat on the floor now, legs flat out in front of me, knees together and have my fingers folded at right angles behind my feet. And that is without flexing my ankles, which I find makes it easier! (cheating basically!)
