ETA: Also, it's 11 pm, but I just finished walking for 25 minutes on the tread mill. I'm pleased. Yay! Every little bit counts, right?
First the Ugly: I had too many biscuits with dinner last night and then later had potato chips with ranch dip.
The Bad: I only walked .6 of a mile yesterday ... stopped because I felt guilty leaving the kids and putting off fixing dinner to walk. I'm also having trouble figuring out the food part for myself.
The GOOD: I just did Jillian Michael's 30 day shred video and I almost died, but I got through it!! I wanted to quit a hundred times, but I would just pause, catch my dying breaths, and continue. Yay for me. I can't believe how hard it is!! I'm sure it will be awhile before I can do jumping jacks like that!
I'm also considering joining a gym! It's about 8 miles, or 14 minutes away... do you think that's too far? My husband and I hate driving far to things... we just always have. I KNOW it's not really THAT far... but how far do you all travel for your gym? Thank so much!
Ok...you have to not feel guilty about taking time for yourself. You will be able to better care of your children if you care for their mom.
ReplyDeleteI don't like driving far either. My gym is only 2 miles. You don't have to go to a gym to exercise, but sometimes it makes it easier.
Good job on the Jillian workout. That is awesome!
I did the shred for a day then my knee started hurting...not sure if it was the butt kicks or the jacks. I drive about 8-9 minutes..I guess about 4 miles.
ReplyDeleteI had about the same commute to my gym. I hated wasting the time getting there and back. I was faithful in going every day last winter. Then, when it warmed up, I started jogging - I could just walk out the door and was ready to go. I just joined another gym though - for the winter - and it's not even a mile from my house. It's heaven - although, I'll admit - I've only been twice in a month. Boo. I guess it just goes to show that if you're not REALLY committed, it doesn't matter how close or far your gym is.
