A bit of explanation… today was lower body weights so it was quite tough. I have no idea why I look so smiley in this video because my legs and glutes are screaming at me right now 😅]]> 2023-03-02 13:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/twl22/8o1uhbyrlm4uwmpa/wish/2501132503 twl22 https://padlet.com/twl22/8o1uhbyrlm4uwmpa/wish/2501138734 Kickstarting the lab challenge with a great 7.5km run around Regent's Park!

It was a great choice despite the slightly nippy weather because I got to stop by a bookshop, get some fresh air and avoid the busy trains.

My body is therefore appreciative that I decided to walk from Waterloo to IOE for my evening class today!

Lots of meetings. Despite teaching a session on mental health and art with staff and PhD students at the bartlett school (and was told I missed the snow ❄️!) I was relieved to go for a brisk walk/run around my old stomping ground. Stumbled upon thos gorgeous tree that is in full bloom! 😍

Does anyone know the name of this tree?

I used to want to always 'feel' strong, and then I realised that this attitude makes me feel dejected on days when I feel less strong. 

Today was a less strong day where I hadn't fuelled myself enough to train, but I still reflected on how lucky I am to be able to take time to go to the gym and lift a few weights.

Well done everyone on this challenge so far, and keep going!]]> 2023-03-07 20:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/twl22/8o1uhbyrlm4uwmpa/wish/2507491689 https://padlet.com/twl22/8o1uhbyrlm4uwmpa/wish/2508568463 Everytime I fall sick I forget how much running does for my mental health - what a relief to be able to start again!

Slowly building up my distance and getting back to proper pace. Grateful for this challenge holding me accountable :))]]> 2023-03-08 13:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/twl22/8o1uhbyrlm4uwmpa/wish/2508568463 https://padlet.com/twl22/8o1uhbyrlm4uwmpa/wish/2508874379 Recently, I’ve signed up for a membership at Frame which lets me join unlimited workout classes! This was really helpful for me looking to complete this challenge because I could just join a class daily and just follow along. I’m really grateful to this challenge for giving me the push to sign up for an exercise membership and giving me the chance to find out that I really enjoyed it. I had never done this before because I never considered myself as an athletic person but I think this challenge has helped me let go of some of those negative feelings surrounding being bad at sport or exercise. It’s made me realise that as long as I’m trying to do exercise every day that’s enough and I can go at my own pace. :)

Lots of back-to-back meetings. 15min lunch. Only had "12 steps" according to my phone! Thanks to you guys, my lovely lab, I forced myself to go out for a run even though it was slippery, cold, and wet. As I was running, my ankle starte hurtimg but I counted "my 3 blessings" ❤️:  1) we just exceeded our donation goal, 👍   2) Tian/Lily ran a fantastic 'blue sky' seminar  👍, 3) I have a yummy tiramisu waiting for me in the fridge tonight 👍  💙 😀.  All is better.

This summer, I had a chance to complete the first module (out of 6 + an exam, so long way to go... maybe too ambitious to say aspiring :) on mat and reformer pilates! I have been doing pilates for more than 3.5 years now and it's been a huge part of my life. 

Every week, I have two online sessions with my instructor back home. Knowing the principles behind the movements is a such a big help especially when we are doing it online!

I would definitely recommend giving it a shot if you haven't yet! Let me know if you do!

Well done everyone for doing so well in this challenge so far!
