On Tuesday (3rd), Hannah and I did our first workout to Jillian's DVD No More- I wanted to die. And her workouts are NO joke. My legs felt as if they were made of concrete blocks everywhere...and as embarrassed as I am to admit to this- I had to crawl up the stairs!
Wednesday, we went for a walk on the trail. I must post pictures! Very beautiful. The trail- not me! I was huffin and puffin when we started into a jog...I'm so out of shape :( I wore oversized shorts and an oversized t-shirt, but it worked! At least I have workout shoes and now I even have workout- my in-laws bought them for me, thank you guys!
Thursday, we did the DVD again...which I was not looking forward to. Who would when you have to use your arms to brace yourself to sit down or have to crawl up stairs? Yes, at this point I was still crawling.
But I did it anyway- and boy am I glad!!!
Why, you may ask, would I be glad to put myself through 40 minutes of torture? Well, the first time I did the DVD I must have stopped for water 4 or 5 times.
This go around- I only stopped TWICE and when I through we had one more circuit to go- we were DONE! All that was left was cool down and I was so happy! After the workout my legs felt a lot better- for about 20 minutes....Then they went back to feeling like concrete :(
Friday, Hannah decided she wanted to eat ice cream and watch a movie...so I went to the gym with my inlaws. And ugh...I'm not a fan of gyms. It doesn't matter if there are "judgment free zone" signs all around...I still feel like people are looking at me and saying "she only lasted *insert pathetic time here* on that machine? Please, that's pathetic"
Now I know this is most likely all in my head, but I think I'll stick to my treadmill until I have more core strength. Most of the machines are still too hard for me to do with the added weight.
In between all of this working out, I've been eating healthy! I've tried kiwi, a spinach salad with apples, avocado, dried cranberries, yellow peppers, sprouts, feta cheese and tomatoes. I even had a piece of whole wheat bread, natural peanut butter and BANANAS. For those of you who know me well- I used snub my nose at bananas. But now, I like them. At least in small amounts :)
So today, I feel a millions times better. My rib area is still a little sore- well I guess I'm a little sore all over but that's ok. Cerio's and fresh cut strawberries on top have become a staple breakfast more me- soooo yummy. I think I'm going to get Hannah to workout with me, then maybe I'll have a piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter and bananas ^_^
Well, that's all for now! Pictures and more in the next updates, I promise. Also- they won't be as long ;-P
