I have reclaimed my motivation, people. To sum it up, I have been killing it in the gym! Sweat pouring, muscles aching, feelin' good-kind-of-great-motivation. Day 7 was awesome: ran two miles! I ran the first mile straight, granted, in 12 minutes--but STILL! Woop woop. I did the second mile in sprints; walked for thirty seconds, sprint for 30 seconds at 7.5 mph. I was pleased :) I have been concentrating a lot on my arms and my legs after my runs. Utilizing the gym equipment to the point of muscle exhaustion. I love the feeling of the ache and burn. I absolutely love weight training :)
Today, Day 8, was my SECOND week for the Get Fit challenge. Last week the trainer tore my ass to pieces--like, no joke, I thought I was going to have to call someone to drive me home because my leg didn't want to switch between the gas and brake pedals. Funny but sad....and unfortunately, beyond true ;) Anywho, this week was MUCH, MUCH better. I still had my ass handed to me in the workout and I emptied about 1.5L of sweat onto the gym floor it seems, but my muscles don't feel like falling off of my bones yet--so, signs of improvement! Which is a great things, because last week I couldn't move for days and it really hindered my motivation with the gym and my diet.
I have just been rocking it. On the morning of Day 8 I weighed 197.....not a vast change, but enough, considering I was out of commission for those few days with my muscles hating on me, and I cheated a few times on my diet in the very beginning. I am very happy to say that I haven't had a soda in days; haven't exactly kept count, but it's been a while (keep in mind, I used to drink a ton of soda every day). I have significantly increased my intake of water :)
My body feels happier already!
