exercise more

It was quite hot and humid because they had no air conditioning, but that also made the workout take a lot more effort. I definitely feel less stressed out like I was earlier in the day. I also did more work than usual, which is extraordinary since it was also more hot!

Went back to the gym yesterday. Feels great, even though I was quickly tired, I managed to climb some nice routes. I need now to take back running. Even maybe running in the morning as the days are getting really hot here.

Well, I did attempt this the other day, and now my stomach muscles really ache because of it :p Although I must say I did feel a bit better healthwise, straight after the exercise :D I suppose I should do a bit less and gradually do more…

So I always hear about how you should try to walk at least 10000 steps a day. So I went out and bought a pedometer and slapped it on today. My God was I surprised, buy the time I got to work today at 9am I had walked over 3000, by noon 5000 and when I got home for the day i was at 12000steps, then I went for a 30 minute walk with the dogs which brought me to over 15000 steps in one day!! Yeah for me, but my ass is still fat but at least when I complain my feet hurt at the end of the day I know why…lol

I haven’t been on 43things for a while because I’ve been working quite hard on my goals! I’ve gone to the gym 5 times so far for 1-1.5 hour workouts. I stretch first, I run for a bit, and than I begin on the equipment. Once I’m done one full round, I either go on the medicine ball or the treadmill. Than I do another round, stretch and I go home. I feel so much better already. Physically and mentally. My self esteem is definitely going up. I feel great.=]

It’s time to get on this goal. I’ve been focused on eating right (been doing well!) and I made a goal to workout 4x/week but I’ve failed miserably at that. I went easy on myself since I was reajusting my eating, but I know that even if I lose weight by eating right, you don’t change your body unless you work out. In other words, you can lose all you want to, but without some weight-lifting/cardio, you’ve got no tone! AHH! I think the best strategy is to workout early a.m. but I can’t seem to wake up…

Joined a gym!! but i already have been procrastinating. i need to get motivated and continue to go.

yes. starting now.

Cycled another 6 miles today. :) I’m going to buy a cycle computer in the near future, so I can accurately track how far I’ve travelled (I’ve been using Google Maps) and create goals for myself each week. Yeah.

I added stretching to my walking a couple weeks ago. I thought about marking this goal “done” because I’m walking regularly now but I’m leaving it here on the active list until I get to 90 days on the walking habit. I want to feel like it’s really an ingrained part of my life before I mark this one off.
