ok so in case I get distracted later with what I have planned (if I live long enough) I may not make it back tonight. I don't want to get behind but I may make a second post later too.
As I said yesterday wasn't that great of a day. I woke up determined that I was going to work really hard today. Not so much a last chance workout, I am going to try and do that tomorrow after church before I have to weigh in.
Temptation hit me before I made it out of the house. Not just the temptation of what food to eat but also to not make the workouts like I really want. I did good on both. Healthy breakfast and a really good workout.
I made it to the gym and used a new method my trainer had told me about. The HIT method ... something about High Intense Training or something. I don't know but I know what I am suppose to do. It pushed me to step up a notch on the treadmill. In doing so I come to realize not only did the hour seem to go quicker but I also didn't feel like I was going to die. As I was doing this I kept thinking back to when I was training for my last 5k. Most of the days I wanted to die after I did an hour on the treadmill. Not only did I feel like I was going to die, I was doing a slower pace and didn't make it as far. So I have said my goal is to finish it in under an hour. If I can keep up my pace like I did on the first hour on the treadmill I might get close. Again I really just hope to finish but I have a goal past that too.
As I was finishing up my HIT hour the girls were ready to leave. I started to shower with them but realized I wasn't ready to leave. I went back to hit the weights for a few. I did two stations for three sets working on my abs. I thought I would just walk a lil bit till they were ready. I figured maybe 15-20 minutes and a slow pace to get a lil more cardio in. Oh did I forget to mention? I am talking about two 19 yr old girls. Who was I kidding? After realizing they were going to be in there for a bit. I had already told myself I would finish at 45 minutes or when they came out, which ever came first. As it was it was about the same time. I had less than 1 min when my daughter came out. My legs felt a lil like wet noodles but I made it to the locker room and gave them $$ to stop for lunch. They stopped at Subway and I gave them my order. They were sweet enough to bring it to my car for me to take home and rest.
Oh did I also forget to mention that I made a deal with my daughter? The deal was that if I bought lunch she had to make sure that I would do a SECOND workout. We will see if she goes with me. I WILL go back today.
I made it home and my wonderful son is here visiting so I sweet talked him into making me a MUCH needed foot bath at this time. I ate my half of sub and soaked my feet and here I lay. Oh yeah I need to go put laundry in the dryer. I wonder if I can talk someone into doing it for me ():)
Ok so rest for a lil bit more and then off to the gym again. I can do this ...
