Cardio day. Added 5 minutes today. My feet are still getting sore from the plantar fasciitis but even after only one session of shockwave therapy there's been an improvement. I have another session today so we'll see how next week's cardio feels

Upper body today before cardio tomorrow. There's so many more people there at 445am. It's weird to have a lot of people working out around me.

Feeling stronger, less sore, more in control this week, so I increased reps. Still finding my feet at the new gym but feeling less like an imposter there. On advice from my podiatrist I changed to flat shoes for strength instead of the Hokas I use for cardio - makes a difference!

And that is the week done. 4 workouts this week and getting way better and more in control of things. Next week... 5 workouts. And then we're fully back to our routine

Apart from getting cock blocked for 3 different machines, feeling stronger than I did my 1st week back at the gym. I'm not used to having to wait for machines. At my old gym me & crazy cardio lady were the only ones there between 315am & 415am. The new gym has a bunch of crazy early morning gymmers

I hate cardio. I'd much rather move heavy things but i promised myself i would do a cardio day every week when I got back from my holiday. So here we are. Broke the 4km treadmill barrier. And once I'm really back in the groove I'll bump the time to an hour from 45 minutes.
That'll do

Starting to get back into the swing of the gym. I'm starting to remember where all the machines are in my new, very large, gym. And the body is starting to remember it can do this.

Just shy of 4km. Its hard for me to stop myself from pushing too hard to get back to where I was. I had 14 weeks off and I need to give myself time and grace to build back up again. I'm not 20 anymore (thank God), and it's ok to be a bit gentler to my old bones.

After last week's humbling abject failure of a gym return that left me in so much pain by Wed that I couldn't move, I'm being gentler to myself & feel much better after today.
This reminds me why I keep doing this - to be healthy. It's not about the numbers or impressing anyone but myself.
