Mornings :(

I don't mind training in the mornings. As long as it is a week day and I am in the mood for it I am fine. I got a txt from the PT at 5:54am this morning to go in. I made it in for 7.30 which is good for me.

I pushed myself hard:

5mins warm up on the cross trainer levels 8 - 13
10mins on the stair master levels 8 - 12. 3mins in the middle taking two steps at a time.
25 * 4 @ 40kgs on the stomach cruncher. (more to rest my legs, and my arms were too sore to do weights ;) ).
10mins on the treadmill, various levels. speed 8 - 11. incline 0 - 4.5.
15mins on the cross trainer - reverse mode on hills level 8 - 15.

On reflection I am doing too many rounds on the cross trainer. I should vary it. I think next time I'll warm up on the bike, then the next time warm up on the treadmill and just cut out the cross trainer for the next week.

Tomorrow is my off day, and tonight might be my cheat night. I fancy something tasty though. I treat myself once a week, and usually it was on a Sunday but I think I'll do it tonight instead. However as I wont be in the gym on Saturday I wonder how my head will work with having a treat tonight and then not doing anything on Saturday? Granted I might go for 5/9 holes of golf, but that'll be a relaxing thing not a training thing.
