Current Mood:  happy
Slept in... something I have not done in a while... I guess my body was trying to tell me something, and after 4 nights at work, I listened. Once I woke up at 9:30 this morning, I trekked on to the gym. Elliptical = 1 hour = 5 miles. Treadmill = 16 minutes = 1 mile. Abs. Shoulder press with dumbbells = 3 sets of 20 at 20#. Chest Press = 3 sets of 20 at 90#, 105#, 120#. High Rows = 3 sets of 20 at 30#, 40#, 50#, each arm.
I weighed myself to find out I lost another pound... WOOT! I promise, I eat and I am not going to wither away to nothing. I find that I get full a lot quicker... and the big plates of food turn me off. I am trying to eat more veggies and fruits, yogurts, and protein shakes, etc. I haven't felt this good about my appearance and my health since I lived in NY and was jogging 4.5 - 5 miles from work in Manhattan to my apartment in Queens. My asthma is almost non-existent, my back and knees don't scream at me like they used to, and my energy levels are peaked - I am no longer sluggish and tired all of the time. I LOVE IT!
After my workout I went to the park to enjoy an after-storm beautiful sunny day, and just relaxed... what I needed after the last few busy nights at work. |
