Another day down! Today makes 4 days of working out this week - after a full 29 years of never exercising for more than a 2 day whim (which usually consisted of trying to run in a neighborhood, getting a cramp after 2 minutes, and walking the rest of the way). I think I finally found the secret - I am just not a cardio person! I am weight training (on the 'teach me how to work out machines') now and I am so excited to see what comes of it. I spent 3 hours after work at the gym and had to force myself to leave because my body just couldn't take anymore. I usually will do the weights until I decide I'm done - and then do 15 minutes of cardio to make sure I'm good and worn out. I feel like I may be overdoing it - but I have never been one to do anything in moderation. I am either all in or I am all out - and I feel like it's better to be all in when it comes to this new lifestyle. My anxiety keeps trying to peak it's head through - but when I have in those headphones and I am working towards that tenth push - I can't think of anything else. I think that's what I love so much.
My diet is getting easier - I'm starting to understand a little better. I am eating more than I have in months, but it is all healthy and with the amount of exercise I am getting I am still balancing at a 500 cal deficit.
I need to get some sleep, I worked all day on just a few hours of it, and have to be up early again in the morning. Tomorrow is my day off - time to rest my body!
I can't wait for 6 months from now 😎
