Pitiful ... but an AHA moment!

Before I go into my update and workouts I gotta get this off my chest. So I am not sure what the heck is wrong with me. I'm beginning to think maybe I need therapy I don't know. But anyway the last time I posted was on October 7, 2011. Well that's because I took like 4 days off after that. I fall too easily in the gap of taking hiatuses from the gym.

After the 7th I took until the 14th off so I guess that's a week. Unreal. But I went and worked out on the 14th and 15th then took 3 more days off and returned this morning (10/19 Wednesday). Unreal My workouts are too sporadic. But in the process I am reworking and re-evaluating my workouts. My plan was to jump into a 6-7 day a week workout then I burn out and take time off. I think 6-7 days a week at the gym is a little much to begin with. So my plan at the moment is:

M-W-F: Gym 4:30am-6:30am (Cardio, Weights, Pool)

T-Th-Sat: Tae Bo @ Home

I've ordered some new DVDs for Tae Bo which is called "Billy Blanks PT 24/7 Tae Bo" (https://www.billyblankspt247.com/) they are 30min each. So whenever I ever get them I'm gonna use them because I'll get a better burn with them because they incorporate resistance bands and high impact workout.

Okay excuses aside here's what I did and I'm rather impressed with myself. Today's workout:

Cardio: 30 min on the treadmill doing a Walk / Run. I would walk for 2minutes at 2.5mph then jog/run at 4.0mph. As someone who usually keeps from running or jogging this is awesome!!

Weights: still sticking at 1 set of 10 at 50lbs per machine. Until I can keep my routine going without taking a hiatuses I'm gonna keep the 1 set of 10 but maybe increase the weight.

Pool: 5 laps: Power breath strokes 1 way and jogging back.

Between the cardio and the pool my legs are burning but I feel good.

So tomorrow is Tae Bo. Instead of using the original Tae Bo video I'm gonna break out one of the Bootcamp series and do that because the impact is a little stronger. Wish I still had the bands that came with it originally but hey at least I'm doing it.

My diet could use some work and its something I struggle with. I've been skipping breakfast lately and I HAVE to stop that because its what makes the metabolism kick in.

Much love to all til next time. Please please leave feedback!!
