Great gym session tonight! And just a bonus really to duck out for a cheeky hour and squeeze it in 😊 Mainly a weights session, interspersed with a bit of fun cardio, and genuinely loved it. I was in awe of the fitter skinny women doing their thing but genuinely wasn't comparing myself negatively. I was right alongside them, boom 👊
But then! Oh, but then I decided to do ten mins on the treadmill to finish. I normally pick the solitary treadmill on the end that faces a window instead of a mirror. Today I picked one right in the middle. Even though the row of treadmills was entirely empty. Why?!!!
The thing about treadmills and gym mirrors is that the treadmill display blocks your entire mid section. So I had a slightly strange hall of mirrors experience with my nice toned shoulders, and then my underbelly. My gigantic underbelly which has been stretched to the max with two children. It was a wake up call for sure.
I'm aware that after two kids, and with a predilection for sweet things, that I store fat around my middle. I could feel the heaviness as I ran, and physically could see the mass pulling down on me, swinging mesmerisingly from side to side! I jest slightly, poking fun at myself and my alter ego 'JellyBelly'. But it is a stark reminder, with the cupboards and fridge stocked for the Christmas season, that over the hundreds of training miles and the big race (5 months tomorrow) every pound counts. And only I can change that. But I can change that. Please encourage me, genuinely. Merry Christmas all x
