Cycling Milage - 4/10-10/10
41.97 Miles
3 trips to and from uni (with 1 detour to scottish slimmers)
1 trip to octopush
After I hurt my leg at the pump fx class, I found it quite painful cycling, and didn't go to uni one day simply because I couldn't cycle.

Weight Loss - 11/10
Weight - 17st 2.5

Had a terrible week following the plan, and I think it was because I couldn't do much exercise and was in pain so was quite lethargic and lazy. Forgot to measure myself when I got home

Injury 8/10 - 11/10 and still healing
I think I tore my right quads slightly at the Pump FX class. At first I thought my quads were just aching so badly because I hadn't done squats before, but then I realised that there was a sharp pain near the top of my right thigh so I pulled back on the exercise and didn't go to uni on the 8th. It's mostly better now, but I can still feel it, especially if I lie on my front.

Octopush Wednesday Session - Edinburgh 6/10
Time: ~45min
Attacking: some
New skill: don't think so
Goals: 0 :(
Legs were sore after the pump class yesterday, but they didn't hurt whilst swimming, just in between. Did manage to push forward a few times, but was too tired to really push myself. Unless my legs are a lot better tomorrow, I'm going to cancel the spin class

Pump FX class, 5/10
Dumbbell - 1kg
Barbell - 2kg
Actually enjoyed this class, didn't expect to especially since I was a bit hungover!
We started with squats and my quads were jelly by the time that was finished, which made the lunges practically impossible. My left calf was quite sore after the lunges, so I didn't do the opposite side very much because I was too paranoid.
The arm exercises weren't too bad, I probably need to use heavier weights for the biceps and maybe the triceps (bit nervous of that since part of the triceps is done above the face!)
I really felt the top abs when we were doing crunches; I think that's I was at the gym yesterday.
Struggled to keep my back flat during the leg lifts so I did the easy version which didn't really feel like an exercise.

Weight Loss Progress 4/10
Weight - 16st 11
Bust - 48
Waist - 49.5
Hips - 51.5
Had a good week following the eating plan so this is effectively like a first week's weight loss, though the increased exercise has probably helped. I'm disappointed that my measurements didn't decrease - in fact my waist is bigger, though I was drunk when I took the measurements :s

Gym visit 4/10
Obliques - 17.5kg - 3 x 15
Abdominals - 20kg - 3 x 15
Back Extension - 20kg - 3 x 15
Wasn't able to go to either of the classes that I booked for Monday, so I went to the gym. Only managed to do 5 minutes on the cross trainer before my quads got to tired, and I had to push myself from 1 minute onwards.

Cycling Mileage - Week 27/9 to 3/10
77.31 Miles
5 trips to and from uni (with 3 detours)
3 trips to octopush
Legs weren't too bad this week, I've definitely developed bigger quad muscles and they feel different when I walk :s
Again, I didn't cycle on Saturday to give my legs a rest; I'm going to try to keep Saturday as a rest day.

Octopush Sunday session - Edinburgh 3/10
Time: ~45min
Attacking: some
New skill: don't think so
Goals: 0 :(
Was playing centre back and didn't really have much opportunity to push forward. Didn't really feel tired at all, and I was doing quite a bit of swimming, just not on the puck :(
I didn't get cramp, so the electrolyte tablets might be doing some good :) I'm quite tired and hungry, so can't be bothered to write very much :)

Octopush Friday session - Edinbugh 1/10
Time: ~60min
Attacking: quite a lot
New skill: v's off the wall, moderately successful
Goals: 0 :(
Was late to the session, but that's probably just as well because I got cramp in my right calf after ~45min. I don't think it was specifically related to my weak ankle, but more the increase in exercise plus I was swimming with the puck much more. I need to be religious about stretching - have been really lax with it for the last few weeks as well as the ankle stand exercise.
I'm noticing progress with the inside flick, not getting it very high off the bottom, or regularly, but it's definitely speeding up as a pass.
As a side note, I'm definitely noticing the inside side of my quads since the spin class, not painful just post-exercise ache.
