I did legs yesterday WooHoo! I enjoy doing legs, but unfortunately I wimped out on my squats. Intended to do 4 sets of 20, but ended up doing sets of 15 reps after the first set. Oh well, I still got a good workout! Oh well, I still got a good workout. I did cardio which consists of speed intervals on the treadmill. I have been doing 30 seconds of running, and 2 minutes of walking at 18  min./mile, and repeating that cycle through however long I work out. I know that sounds kind of pathetic, but I’m working on it!

On Wednesday, I did back. It’s okay - seems pretty light compared to the other days which is a mixed blessing. On one hand, I’m like "Whew.. relief." On the other, I wonder if I’m getting a good workout.
I did a mini-goal I had set for myself. I can (finally) run for a solid 60 seconds on the treadmill, so I feel like I got a better cardio workout.
I’m way excited about that.

Unfortunately, I ran out of the house without my bag this morning. I was tempted to use not having my clothes as an excuse, but didn’t. I still had my yoga pants and t-shirt from the gym yesterday. That’s kind of gross, but I don’t want to cut myself any slack. As soon as I make one excuse not to work out, I’ll make twelve more.

I did let forgetting my things ruin my day diet wise. So far today, I have only drank a couple bottles of water. (I also had a Mt. Dew - GOT to break that habit.)

I had a Jr. Burger from Sonic after the gym, because I felt like I was going to pass out. I couldn’t think of anything to eat clean that I could grab, because I literally had $1.50 to spend. (I keep my cash in the bag at home. If I have to reach through my workout clothes for cash, I won’t agree to go out to lunch with co-workers.)

So… I’m pretty hungry and sore. I know eating nothing all day and then scarfing a Jr. Burger is a major diet mess up. But hey - at least I’m starting to be able to run! Maybe today wasn’t a complete wash. HaHa…

‘Til tomorrow.

Today was my first day full on in my routine. Did speed intervals on the treadmill… and then on to weights. I do chest on Mondays. Chest is my hardest day, and who likes Monday? maybe I should move it to another day. The good thing is tomorrow is legs, which I love. So, all the way through chest I’m like… "It’s okay - tomorrow I can do leg presses, squats, etc…."

Hope everyone had a great day!

It’s time for a change, and I’m going to do it!
I’ve joined the gym, planned my diet, bought supplements and I’m ready to go!
