Here is the first Weekly Workouts and Weigh-In post. Not the best week, but it’s okay. This coming week will be better!
Monday, 8/11/14 - 40 minutes Elliptical workout – 3.37 miles: This was the first day back at the gym in quite some time, and my first day working out in over a month. I didn’t want to overdo it on my foot on my first day back, so I kept the resistance low and focused more on time. I was happy to see that I could still go for 40 minutes at a pretty good clip and not want to die. So, the cardio that I built up running hasn’t disappeared entirely!
Tuesday, 8/12/14: 35 minute Elliptical Workout – 2.88 miles: I definitely was not feeling the gym. The second day is always the hardest for me, and this day was no exception. But I forced myself out of bed and to the gym. Not a super intense workout, but I felt good because at least it was something for the day. I had every intention of starting to incorporate weights this day, but by the time I was done with elliptical, I just wanted coffee.
Wednesday, 8/13/14: Planned rest day.
Thursday, 8/14/14: 2.5 mile lunchtime walk – I had every intention to get up and go to the gym, but I was exhausted. For no reason. But I walked 2.5 miles at lunch to make up for it!
Friday, 8/15/14: I had my gym clothes ready to go, but after a night of not much sleep again, I decided to stay and bed and sleep. I have photo shoots all weekend long, so I knew I’d be getting some exercise with those with the amount of walking, squatting, etc. I would be doing.
Saturday, 8/16/14: Photo shoots in the evening
Sunday. 8/17/14: Absolutely nothing
Overall, I didn’t exercise nearly as much as I had originally planned. But, I was happy with the few days I did. This coming week will definitely be more exercise overall. I’m making it happen!
Weekly Weight-In
Starting Weight {8/11/14} – 199.0/BF: 44.0%
Week 1 Weigh In {8/15/14} – 196.0/BF:44.2%
Change so far (even though I know it’s only 4 days… next week will be a full week!) – 3 lbs.
I know most of this is water weight, just from changing up my diet, but 3 lbs is still a loss and that makes me happy!
