Good Morning all!
Its so nice to finally be able to sit on the patio and relax in the mornings. I have really been enjoying this nice weather that we have been having the past few days!
I know I haven't posted much lately. For awhile I fell off the ban wagon and was struggling this my motivation and my commitment to getting healthy. Honestly this really doesn't surprise me that this happened. I did not have a plan, a schedule or even goals that I was working towards. The only picture I had in my head was the body I once had. I needed some short term and some long term goals.
Recently I have started doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred again. This is my program/schedule- everyday for 30 days. Now I have had to take breaks here and there because my muscles needed some recovery. I have done level 1, 7 times through. I've felt the pain of working out again and I've also had the excitement of working out again. I actually look forward to coming home after work and getting my workout in. In only 1 short week I can tell you I have seen a huge difference in endurance and my strength has really improved. I have noticed small changes in my body but huge changes in my attitude!
I have a few goals in mind that I have decided to keep to myself until after I have accomplished them- then I will scream them to the world. Short term wise I want to finish the 30 Day Shred. My goal is to do each level at least 7 times through. I have noticed my calorie burn has decreased a little with level 1 because it has become easier to me. So this that being said...
I was going to wait until tomorrow to start Level 2 but I have decided to start today. My goal is to also get outside and enjoy this nice day. Maybe a short run outside or a bike ride! Just something to keep myself going!
Last weekend I also bought a foam roller. How have I been surviving without one my entire life? They are amazing! Run to the store and get yourself one!
Last but not least if there is anyone out there who can provided information to me on how to get my muscles to recover more please let me know your tricks of the trade. I have had to take a few days off here and there because my legs just need a break.
I hope you all have a great Sunday. Get out there and enjoy the sunshine!
