Ahhh-- I feel GRRREAT!
40 minutes elliptical
20 minutes treadmill
20 minutes stretch and tone
I did a bit of jogging on the treadmill again. I walked for 2 minutes, jogged for one. I want to up the intensity of my walking, but I really don't like walking at the recommended 4MPH. It seems unnatural to me. I used to run in my younger days, so I know what an efficient exercise it is. I just don't want to hurt myself doing it. So I hope easing into it like this is a good idea. My lungs are in good enough condition for jogging, but it does hurt my feet and shins. Hopefully that will get better once I get more used to it.
I feel fantastic right now. I know I've worked hard. My muscles feel warm and loose. I feel tired, but it's a good tired. An energetic tired, if there is such a thing.
I wish I would feel more confidant in myself. I have been doing well lately, but I feel so nervous about keeping it up. I don't know why I'm so nervous about it. It's something in my control. I have been so weak in the past about giving into temptations. I want to feel strong and confidant that I will make the right choices. I suppose the longer I go without slip ups will help with this. I also think it's important to be able to slip up, and recover quickly.
I think my mindset is coming around to the right way of thinking. I keep thinking about how I want to see some results from all my hard work, and not hide it by over -eating.
Well anyway -- here's to today. I can only take it one day at a time.
