I just wasn't feeling my workout today... the weather outside was gloomy making the gym boring and drab. However I'm just happy that I went and did as much as I did. Plus when I weighed myself today (I know I'm only supposed to weigh myself on Sunday but I couldn't help it) I was down to the lowest I have been in a long long time. What a great motivator.
At the gym I did the elliptical and the treadmill. I did 10 minutes on the elliptical at level 17... I was suprised I was able to do it with how sore my legs are today. My legs screamed more when I was on the treadmill. I did 35 minutes at speed 3.5 with 4 minutes of jogging. I was only able to jog for 3 minutes then 1 minute... I think I'm getting sick I was so short on breath that I couldn't go as long as I normally do. Tomorrow is my total body workout day... that should be fun. I also spent an hour walking around the mall today just for fun. Plus when I cleaned up all of Ava's toys my metabolism was in overdrive... I worked up a sweat.
I've stuck to eating healthy today and I must say I'm feeling really good. The cravings for chocolate covered almonds and unhealthy foods are almost gone... they still come every once in a while but I'm able to move past them. I've eaten every 2 hours again today and it is helping me not overeat when I do eat. I could get use to this. I'm on track to reach my goal for a gallon of water today... just one more water bottle... that will be easy.
I bought a new pair of jeans today... I was actually able to buy a pair of jeans in the petite section. I'm still a size 16 but to not have to purchase from the women's section was such a good feeling. :) Just for fun I tried on a pair of size 14 jeans... they fit but were way too tight but I was still able to zip and button them up. Another motivator to keep going... going to fit into them soon. :)
Let the lbs melt!!!
