More poppies flowering out the front
This is crazy, but I went to the gym today. Again! On a Sunday! I even left the house before midday! It's rare these days for me to even be out of bed by noon on a Sunday. Utter madness.
I'm very pleased with my discipline, of course (I just wish it wasn't a constant struggle to maintain). I did 30 minutes of moderate cardio - including a few stints of jogging - and felt energised when I left.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how much better I feel following a fairly modest increase in physical activity. In the past week I walked to work twice (40 mins each time), did an hour of clinical pilates, visited the gym twice, walked more than 10,000 steps most days (19,400 today!) and did stretching at home. I feel less physically worn out, and not as stiff and sore.
It feels good to be doing something to make myself feel better instead of just flopping on the couch feeling sorry for myself.

I did a little laneway wandering on my way home from the gym. Here are some photos. (I'm on Instagram now if you want to see more of my photos there. My username is frisky_librarian.)
