Day 3: Tired

I was woke up by the sound of my daughter going into the garage.  I looked at my phone and it was 6:36 am.  Sheesh! We agreed to be at the gym at 6:30.  I really did not feel like getting out of the bed. My body needs 8 hours of sleep, especially if I am going to be working out early AM.

Once I got on the elliptical I was fatigued and it was hard to push through it.  I only did 20 minutes.  Which I think I will do everyday this week and then increase by 5 minutes each week.  I tried to do different leg machines, but I realized how uninformed I am on how to use most of them.  Then, I spent a lot of time trying to adjust the seat for my height and felt like I was doing more harm than helping and moved on to the abs.

Today:
Elliptical 20 minutes
Abs seated and oblique - about 150 reps total
10 crunches/sit-ups
25 squats

I am famished this morning and trying to keep myself occupied with work so as not to snack, but I gave in and had some grapes.  Yummmmm!

I also found this 30 Day challenge online.  There are millions of them now!  There are so many that I would rather just stick to my daily routine and if I happen to get to the challenge, then that is a bonus!



I did not get my 10,000 steps in like I planned because I went to the hospital with my dad.  I ended up with about 7k.  I want to be at 20k daily by the end of the month.  I am going to start walking on my lunch break to get more steps in.  I want to be active all throughout the day, not just at the gym.
