I woke up at 6 this morning when Ben's alarm went off and I had this urge to go to the gym... however at the same time I had the urge to crawl back into bed... that urge won! All day it was nagging at me that I should have gone (especially when I stepped on the scale and saw that I was above 165) so this evening I called my dad to see if he would be willing to watch Ava so I could go to the gym... no answer. :( I had finally started living with the idea that I wasn't going to get my gym urge filled today when my dad called me back and said that he would be willing to watch her for me! :) I was so excited I got dressed right away and headed to Eagle. Now the gym is 2 minutes if that away from my house... my parents live 15 minutes away so I drove 15 minutes to drop Ava off then 13 minutes back to the gym... worked out for 65 minutes then drove back to my parents house and back home. Now this might not seem like a big deal but I just kept asking myself when did I become so addicted to working out that I would do that and on a day that I had already said was my rest day? Before I would have just said forget about I'm not going to do that too much work! At the gym today I tried to push myself harder so I gave jogging a try... I was able to do 3 minutes starting at 0.0 incline going up to a 3.5 incline. I know 3 minutes is a lot but I have to start somewhere right? I think that I could have done more if I wasn't so top heavy... :( Tomorrow is lower body and more cardio. Oh and my lats are killing me today... it hurts to raise my arms and twist... another wish for soreness fulfilled! :) However, I do think that if I had pushed myself harder I would have been sorer... next time!
Family lunch was at Mongolian BBQ today... I went light on the noodles and beef and heavy on the veggies. Other then that I've been doing pretty good about healthy choices I just once again am eating too much. :( For dinner I had chicken, broccoli and brown rice... I had forgotten how good that is. Now I'm sitting here with Ava munching on edamame... I'm going to have to buy more I'm almost out. So I just chugged the last of my 1.5 liters of water just so I could honestly say that I'm at 4 liters for the day... that's kind of sad.
Tomorrow I'm going to push myself harder and try to up the weight and jog for longer!
Let the lbs melt!!!
