Today I hit the gym at 6:30am, but forgot my pedometer. I hate when that happens. Since I would not be able to track my steps I decided to try out the stair climber. It was not as bad as I anticipated, but I only stayed on it of 10 minutes. I do not know how to zone out on these machines like some people. I am constantly staring at the time whether I am tired or not. I am just bored. There was a lady that was on the machine next to me when I got there and after I got done with my weights. That is what I need to reach my goals.
I like the exercise classes because there I mentally challenge myself to keep up with the group or at least not to give up and walk out. On these machines, when I am done...I am done. I did an hour long spinning class and surprisingly made it through it and I know it is 10 times more intense than what I am doing on that treadmill.
My initial plan was to start going to the gym 2xs a day starting next week, but I think I need to think better. I like cycling and it burns like 10 times the calories as the treadmill. I think like over a thousand calories. The cycling instructor I like Mandy has classes Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I am going to aim to go to every one of her classes next week. There is a group of ladies that are doing Zumba in Broad Ripple on Monday nights. I would really like to meet up with them, but I am not sure if my body will be able to take it after cycling.
I keep reading that getting fit is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. So, I really need to take a look at my diet. I have all of the right foods at home, but tonight I went to Red Lobster for a birthday dinner. Oh no! NOT THE CHEDDAR BISCUITS!!! I ate way too many and I was disappointed all night at myself. I can't keep letting all of this hard work go to waste being weak to the food that I know is not good for me. I pre-cooked 4 salmon fillets and I have plenty of fruits and veggies to eat with them. Every day I am getting a little stronger and a eating a little healthier. I know this will not be an overnight change, but I know-oh-oh-oh a change gone come!
