I can't believe that I worked out six days in a row. This has NEVER happened before, and I absolutely loved it! I feel great, I really feel like I've found what I had been missing in my life. Today I did the elliptical machine for about 5 mins for my warm up and then frankenstien walks, lunge stretches (love these), and arm circles. I remember when I first started that the arm circles really killed me, now they are totally manageable, and a great thing to do after the really painful/difficult push ups I did yesterday.
For my cardio I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and I switched between going forward and backward. This was really great because I felt like I was in competition with my self. The backwards motion was really hard but I pushed myself to do it for 5 minutes straight before switching back to the forward motion :) *high five me*
As a reward for completing my workout schedule this week. I just bought myself a super cute water bottle for my workouts! I love it and I think that it will work really well for me.
I've also been eating really healthy this week, but I'm going to push myself even more this next week. Two times already we ate out and I had a veggie sandwich one night with a lot of white bread and cheese (only ate half) and then last night I splurged on a veggie burger and fries. I'm trying really hard not to beat myself up for eating foods that are bad for me. Instead I just say to myself, "ok, go ahead and eat it, but just know what you're doing to yourself and that it will effect your workouts later." As long as I accept that, then I eat without guilt.
When I go to the gym at school, it's alway so crowed. I usually go around 5pm and I guess that's when everyone else is done for the day too. I mentioned this to my trainer and she suggested that I try going in the morning before it gets too busy. I'm mostly concerned about the whole showering thing, but they mentioned that the showers are super clean. So I'm going to try it out on Monday I think. I'm going to get up at 6am make breakfast for Paul and I, and then head to campus around 7am. I should get into the gym by 7:45am with a 1 hour work out, I would be done at 8:45a. Then I'm meeting my group members for a last minute study session before our first big midterm. Study from 9:30-11am. Lab from 11-12:30, Supplementary instruction from 12:30-1:45, Midterm from 2-3:15pm, and then class from 3:30-4:45. Catch the bus at 5pm. Be home by 5:45. shower, then homework from 6-7pm. Make dinner from 7-8:30pm. 8:30-10pm Homework. Bed by 10.
I think I can handle that :)
Tomorrow, for my "active rest day" I'm going to go to yoga on the bluff at 11. I think that it will be a beautiful way to end the week!
