I thought I would write a little update on how I'm doing on my effort to do some exercise every day. So far, so good, although I haven't done any running and that disappoints me. But I'm the only one responsible for that, so I guess I will have to change that. I only missed one day so far. I was at my parents' house Saturday and forgot about my pledge. But, on Sunday I did 200 squats and 125+ ab exercises to make up for it! I paid for that effort the next day at Boot Camp when our instructor decided to emphasize legs. Ouch.
Yesterday I did not go to the gym because I stayed out too late Monday night. I was at a cookie exchange and we made bows and I made five of them, which is worth noting only because I sat down saying I would have no idea how to do it. So I was lazy in the morning yesterday. But last night I browsed the exercise offerings OnDemand and the big girls and I did a 10 minute hip-hop routine (silly!) and a 20 minute walking video. TMS was wiped out at 8 minutes of walking but soldiered on until the end. It was fun to do it with the girls and I am hopeful that we'll all be moving more often.
I am not weighing myself until the end of the month. I don't want to focus on a number or get discouraged. I am trying to be more mindful of my food, but not obsessively so. I definitely want to get back to where I was pre-baby and I think (hope) I am finally at the right mental commitment level.
How about the rest of you?
Good Job!!! I am just trying to work out at least twice a week. So far, not doing so good. I am proud of you! Maybe, I ought to kids the kids involved, it might make me more accountable for my working out. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI never signed up for anything, for the record. haha. Yesterday my coworker and I did our 1-mile "walking" DVD (very lo-impact aerobics). My hiking plan was good for 2 weeks and then it got SO COLD here! Which is no excuse but that's what I've been going with.
ReplyDeleteBasically I need a Refresh button for my fitness goals.
