Barely There. . .

Im on the recumbent bike and I'm ready to go already! As you can see from the picture I'm only 12 minutes into my hour long session. This is pure madness! No i'll tell you whats madness: resting my elbows on the fat pockets that have accumulated on my waist. Let that be one reason why i stop complaining with my chocolate devouring, pretzel chomping, carb loving, cake jonesin' , food luvin self.

Im not so diluted to think that i can get close to resembling my old self without good nutrition, adequate cardio and strength training. Well if making myself go to the gym when i feel yucky from the craziness I ate then let the madness continue.

So glad I went to the gym 2x today!!

 

 

I went to the gym this morning and this evening. The gym smelled like funky fafa (that's armpit in the Chamorro culture) this evening! While working out I realized that I had my pants on backwards! I kept wondering why by butt didn't feel 100% covered and why there was extra material around the abdominal area. I couldn't understand it. Had my butt gotten bigger? No it hasn't (let me tell it!).  Although tired I was excited to go to the gym this evening.Ha Ha Ha. So discovering that my pants were on wrong didn't matter because I had a workout to tend to. I got a really good bicep workout in tonight. I also practiced my kickboxing and took care of the calves . . . life is good.

Two Chances Lost

I was supposed to work out on Sunday as as I prepared my gym bag I began to feel ill.  So I spent the whole day in bed.  My Monday workout was awesome!  I worked back and triceps with 40 minutes of cardio.  I can do this!  I know I can do this!  I just have to stay focused.

Staying focused was my mindset until I woke up late this morning.  Sadly I missed my workout because my alarm didn't go off until 5am.  That makes two chances to get fit that I lost out on! To make matters worse I overindulged in chocolate.  It's so early in my quest to become that fit person I once knew myself to be for me to become sidetracked by chocolate.

Come rain, shine or snow I am working out tonight.  I missed cycling this morning so I am going to cycle tonight for one hour and possibly more if I can keep up. 

The highlight of my day despite missing my workout was touring the fitness center very close to where I work.  It's got a speed bag!  How great is that?  That was a rhetorical question because without a doubt it is a great thing.   I'm so excited!
