Hi folks! I had a pretty solid workout today and I feel great! Today I did some strength training for my legs, and then I worked out on the elliptical for 35 minutes and then the treadmill for 20. In total, I burned 550 calories! wooooooot. I worked up a great sweat and also I have increased my intensity on both machines! Another wooooooot! So when I first started working out on January 12, I think, I could barely ride the elliptical for 10 minutes on level 1 without getting out of breath and all around exhausted. NOW I can ride for 35 minutes at an intensity of 1 and working up to level 7 by the end of my workout! I haven't really quite measured my increased endurance on the treadmill. However, I know that I have upped my incline from 7 to 10, and my speed up to 3.5 as well (from a 3.2). But I only go on the treadmill to either burn just a few more calories at the end of the elliptical, or after I've done strength training and feel an extra burst of energy. I'm super proud of myself! I've been off the wagon for 2 whole days, sick and just feeling miserable, but today was a great day in terms of exercise. Okay, now for the judgement. I ate a chimichanga with sour cream for lunch today. (I didn't wake up until about 11 and by the time I rolled downstairs I was in the mood for lunch). I also had a glass of juice..whoops. But I feel confident that this isn't a setback, just a minor slip up haha. So onward and upward! Tonight I'm going to make healthy decisions!
Work out song choice of the day: Erase-Rewind by The Cardigans. :D
Love and all that,
