Workout Wednesdays

Workout Wednesdays are meant to give myself some inspiration and ideas for working out during the week! I'm trying to become a healthier person one step at a time! One Workout at a time!

Yesterday & today were my only productive days exercise wise this week. That's an improvement so I'm not feeling too bad about it. Last night I had a talk with Babe about wanting to work out more and wanting him to motivate me more. I had also suggested he could join me at the gym if he wanted. Well the talk must have worked because he did come join me at the gym!! It made me very happy and scared the junk out of me all at the same time! He knocked on the window for me to let him in while I was running fast walking on the treadmill and frightened me! After my freak out everything else went smoothly and we worked out next to each other. I like working out with him because he doesn't judge me. Well he usually doesn't judge me. He did give me a funny look when I started jumping rope without a jump rope. I stink at jumping rope so I decided to jump without the rope. No big deal except you look funny or at least I do! 

Last Night I decided to try the Killer Kardio Workout. Though as I'm typing this post I'm realizing I must have gotten distracted when I copied all the steps of the workout into my notebook because I forgot the first set of Burpees and the last 10 Minute Run. Not a problem though I'll just try to include those exercises in the next time I do this workout. I probably won't include the Burpees! I'm not sure if my problem with Burpees is because they're boring or because I'm not doing them fast enough but whatever the reason I don't like them and did squats instead! The point is I made it through the workout and I didn't die though I did have a headache. 

When we got back from the gym I made Babe, his brother R and myself all Strawberry Banana Smoothies! They were really delicious and make me wish we had more Milk & Bananas so I could make some right now! 

While I was walking on the treadmill last night I was trying to think of some ways to motivate myself to workout. One of the things I came up with was not letting myself play on the computer today until after I did 100 sit ups. I did get on the computer before did my sit ups but only to look up some stretches to do before my workout. I came across a 1o Minute Morning Routine which I ended up liking almost all of the workouts except Step 5: Hip & Leg Stretch and the Meditation. The lady in the picture for Step 5 looks like a pretzel! The directions and the picture just made the stretch confuse me. As for the Meditation I've never really done one before. I'm a really stressful and easily distracted person so maybe a guided video meditation might help me. After my stretches we done I did get my 100 sit ups done! Yay me!! 

I'm hoping to keep my momentum going and workout several more times this week! I guess we'll just have to see what happens.

Good Luck with your Workouts this Week!

Until Next Time! Stay Beautiful :)

Workout Wednesdays

Workout Wednesdays are meant to give myself some inspiration and ideas for working out during the week! I'm trying to become a healthier person one step at a time! One Workout at a time!

Again I haven't been working out as often as I would like or at all! My roommates B & R have been going on a walk every night. B is in "training mode" as she has a 5k in September and she wants to be in better shape for it. I guess the last 5k she did with her mom she got sick (vomiting) all day. I find it very encouraging seeing her working so hard to achieve a goal! 

What little exercising I have done lately has been swimming and playing Frisbee! I love throwing a Frisbee around with Babe and sometimes R joins us. I'm not very good at throwing a Frisbee but I'm getting better. It still flies off in the wrong direction but not nearly as often as it use to! When R, Babe and I all play we switch up who I throw to because that person has to run around a lot and they get tired!

For awhile now I've been wanting to play Frisbee at 2 am. I'm on one of my abnormal sleeping schedules. I'm a night person so I often sleep the day away. Lately I've been going to bed between 3 or 4 am and waking up around 11 am or noon. On the bright side I do get a full eight hours of sleep! Anyways back to the 2 am Frisbee playing, I've asked Babe a few times and he always says no as he has to work the next day! I continue to ask because I know ONE day he will say YES!! 

Some Motivational Words for this week:

This not only pertains to fitness goals but all goals! Life won't change if you don't take the first step! I keep expecting change but I'm doing anything to warrant change. Something to think about and then act! 

Are there any quotes you find inspirational?

Until Next Time! Stay Beautiful :)
