Once again, trying to reestablish my fitness routine. Have also been snacking like crazy since quitting my job. I'm definitely a "snack out of boredom" type, so I guess I'll just have to be more diligent about keeping myself busy.
My goal this week was to GET MOVING every day, no matter what. So far, so good, though Wednesday was a huge struggle since I was really sore from Monday and Tuesday. The first few days after starting up a routine are always torture. But I MOVED my butt, even though I wasn't able to do the full 20-min run I'd planned to do.
Monday: 5 min warm-up, 20 min run, 10 min cool-down
Tuesday: strength training
Wednesday (ugh the struggle): 10 min warm-up, 10 min run, 10 min walk, 5 min run, 15 min cool-down.
Today: strength training
Tomorrow's goal: 5 min warm-up, 20 min run, 10 min cool-down.
I'm determined to establish a routine now so that once my grad program starts mid-August I'll just be able to maintain it. I've been told that following a fitness regimen is incredibly important in school since it relieves stress (oh and also because I'll probably be sitting on my butt all day every day doing school work).
I'll continue to weight-in, though I'm not focusing on weight loss as part of my fitness goal. Of course I'm hoping weight-loss will be a side effect of getting into better shape, but instead of focusing on losing something, I'm focusing on gaining things: strength, endurance, flexibility, etc.
