5.4 km / 2.8 mile run this morning and a blogilates workout.

I feel a bit down/sad about how my run went. I felt like I held back, and while I was running I felt like I was just so tired. I’m not necessarily physically exhausted, my mind just felt so apathetic and “done”. 

IT’S ONLY MONDAY HONEY, GET YOURSELF IN GEAR.

Day 10 Recommiting

This past weekend was not a very good weekend and I wanted to just give up! I still did pretty good on my eating but I totally gave up on my workouts. But today I am recommiting to my workouts! This morning my weight was 361.1 Wish me luck!!

Recommiting

During last week and over the weekend, I came to the conclusion that I'm going to recommit myself to P90X, be more organized (printed out the schedule and the workout sheets), and just do my best. I think like a lot of us, we're our harshest critics and want something so bad, that when we mess up while trying to reach it we get caught up on what we didn't do or could've done better. It gets tiring and going through this journey has taught me so far, that running myself down does more harm than good and pushing play 6 days a week is a commitment to not just the program but to my health and what I want to gain out of it.To look in the mirror, and not see this tire around my waist and be happy with what I see is my goal, not to measure myself up to some numbered tag on the inside a pair of jeans.

So in honor of my recomiting, I decided to have a last meal of junk food over the weekend, mostly pizza and some muffins that my grandma gave me, I even drank soda for the first and last time (tasted pretty gross after not having it for a 3 months). It was fun eating them, but not so fun thinking those slices of pizza and bread bites were going to be making pit stops to my stomach, ass, and hips. But I'm ready to let it go and put in work.

I feel a little bad about how much my eating habits have slipped these last two weeks. I'm eating foods I know aren't the healthiest choices and it's bringing up my calories and making my workouts harder to do.

So today, I'm going to make a bunch of healthy food I love, try a new recipe and whip my butt into gear at the gym doing all this (once I do some homework):

30 min elliptical

10 minutes rowing machine

10 minutes bike

10 minutes walking, incline

Leg press 40lbs -- 100

80 jumping jacks

30 second plank – 3

5 push-ups

100 sit-ups w/ ball

45 second wall sits – 4

Weights – lateral raises, front raises, shoulder press, etc

Butt lift – 30 (lie on stomach with your legs bent at knees, heels touching, lift your upper chest off the floor using your forearms, squeeze your butt to raise your legs a few inches, then lower back)
