Tabata is now my favourite way to burn calories. It's so much fun!!

It burns up to 13 calories a minute!

Here's one of my favourite videos on it, it's super beginner and advanced friendly! ;

I managed to go for a run. Runs are bittersweet right now because it’s more than I have been doing but before a short run was 2-3 miles. Both today and on Monday the run I managed was 2km (1.24 miles) and both runs had breaks in them. It is gutting how much fitness I’ve lost and how much slower I am but I’m trying not to let it discourage me and I am setting a fitness goal to be able to run 4 miles by the end of September and 10k by the end of October. It is currently mid August.

I’m trying my best to lose weight through sustainable lifestyle changes rather than crash dieting.

I need to get dressed and go for a run. I have to leave in the next 15 minutes or I won’t be back before rehearsal. And if I don’t go today I won’t hit my target of three runs a week.

Also. I’m 17 hours in to a 72 hour sugar fast to reset my tastebuds and make it easier to not eat so many desserts. I’m doing well so far. I just need to get out the door.

I finally replaced my Fitbit. Gaining a stone in the three months without one was tough. I need to get back in the habit of 12000 steps a day.

Aim is to high restrict between 1200-1600 calories a day depending on exercise.

I still have 8000 more steps to take today to hit that and a small ab exercise, but I’m having an afternoon where I wish I were dead so that’s tricky.

Hawthorn in thought, dwelling on what has been, what is, and what might be in thr forest that is her home.

Hawthorn dreams of her sister, not Oak or Ivy, but another, lost so long ago that even her name fades. The stars surround her and she walks in waking dreams and memories through the gardens of the world, her blue hair stretched out like the aurora over the northern sky.

At the dawn of the universe the forest trio were without names or set forms, it would be many centuries before forests had evolved enough to need protectors, but they were patient. They had been created with a purpose and that purpose would sustain them through their long quiet.

The three watchers, Ivy, Oak, and their sister Hawthorn exist hidden in the forests of the Isle. They are powerful mysterious beings and to be granted an audience with them is the greatest blessing or the fiercest curse depending on what you do. They are not beautiful, their appearance entirely ordinary unless you see their power unleashed, when their skin glows with the green power of the earth. They are stewards over the forests, all plants and creatures defer to them and they guard the forests fiercely. Wow betide the unfortunate axeman who trespasses upon their territory.
