Had a great workout this morning, Lincoln the cat even joined for a bit and helped motivate me to do some push ups. Form is still not 100% but it’s getting there

This is my second to last day off until vacation so It’s going to be a busy Saturday of chores, school work and seeing some friends for dinner (:

Back on the Wagon Wednesday!

I’ve been sick almost 2 weeks and it’s just the dregs now, but during that time I haven’t been to the gym, I’ve been super, super tired and all I can do is just try to do more during the day than just staring off into space. 

Today I was just fed up with it, I had to go back to the gym and it had to be today. So I did! It felt so good to go back early enough that I haven’t really lost any fitness, which is fantastic. 

Today’s workout:  ♡ 30 minute run - on the treadmill at 1.5 incline and 11.3 speed. Crushed it. It helped that my beautiful husband and I went on a walk this morning, AND I did 5 minutes on the cross trainer to warm my legs up even more. I didn’t feel great though, I felt like something was constantly catching in my throat and my body warmed up twice the rate it usually does. That’s how I can tell I’m still not quite there. I still managed 5.5 under half an hour, my mantra today was ‘if you can breathe you can keep going’ - it definitely worked! 

♡ Kettlebell & Barbell sesh - rows, squats, swings and half deadlifts (like to my knees) - was a really good ‘back to weights’ intro. Kettlebells were 10kg for swings, 12kg for squats. 

♡ 10 Minutes stairmaster - working my way back up to a good solid 20 minutes over the next few days. 

It felt really, really good to get back. My headspace is back in the game, and I’m ready to start hitting those goals again! After a weigh in on Monday I’m still the same weight (58.5kg/129lbs) that I was even before I got sick so that’s a good sign as well.
