The BEST workout EVER

Ok so tonight I think I really hit my stride. It is the 3rd day in a row this week working out (GO ME!) and it's definitely getting better, easier. I really needed a tough workout because I slipped up with my eating on Tuesday, so this was my "punishment".

I did my own sort of circuit training:

• 20 minutes elliptical machine: Approx 1 mile
• 40 minutes treadmill: Hills & Valley's
• 25 minutes elliptical: Approx. 1 mile.

• Home Video On Demand: 20 minutes weights: Arms. Envy Girls. They are a bit MUCH, but it's a no frills workout, which I wanted. I can't take that cheery pilates stuff. NO THANKS TO THAT!

I never had a workout this hard, at least not in a very very long time. I drank so much water today, its not even funny. I am really trying to incorporate weight training 3 times a week. So far I am meeting all my physical goals, slowly and methodically. It's WEIRD! Like I noticed this week and my heart rate has dropped a good 10-20 beats during my workouts. Figure that! I took my resting heart rate: 72. I don't know what it was before but I'm sure that 72 is better. (They say between 50 and 100 is average and closer to 80 for the median).

I've never been this motivated before. Having accountability (with this blog) is REALLY working on my mind to keep my honest. I know people are rooting for me, why let them down? But mostly I am rooting for myself. It's such a mind game, I am really finding out.

Hopefully I can balance everything out by the end of the week. I need to get to the grocery store, but I've been avoid shopping because I've just been feeling stressed about money, which is driving me to eat cheap, easy fast food. What a trap!!! Horrible, horrible old ways of thinking. We are going shopping Friday and I can regroup then.
