Healthy Ticker

Had a rest day yesterday! It's important to rest. I don't want to get an injury, and it's good for muscle development I've heard.. haha because I'm going to get soooo muscley :P But today I'm finding it hard to get out, seeing how I've broken my routine now, after not running yesterday or the day before because I had Netball and did a whole heap of other stuff. In fact on Monday I didn't run my usual route so... come to think of it I haven't been for a decent run since Sunday!!

I'm also finding it hard because I'm working in the mornings this week, whereas last week I was able to get up and go right away. When I get home from work I'll be hungry and tired and already have my make-up and hair done.

But, I tell you what! Reading my post from Tuesday when I did so much has made me want that feeling of doing well. So maybe I will go later on today! In fact I promise I will go!!

For me, I see it as super super important to exercise. In 2011, my boyfriend moved to Wellington for his study, I'd finished my own and I found myself with a lot of free time. My flat was for sale, so I moved back home, where I knew I'd be fed really well. So, I started going to zumba twice a week, which meant a 5k walk there and back. I went for months and months, including playing Netball up to four times a week, but I saw no change in my body. I was fitter, and I think my bum and legs got better, but apart from that.. not much!

While this did bother me, what was more important was my levels of fitness rising. I was heaps fitter than I am now, and I miss that. Something else at the forefront of my mind is having inherited heart problems. My uncle died when he was 39 of a heart attack, and my mother has heart palpatations and blood pressure issues. I have, in the past, had some issues myself. I'm really worred about it and feel that I should exercise as much as possible so that I have a healthy heart!!!

So having said that, I've convinced myself to go for a run today hahaha
