I will try again...(A New Journey - week 2)

A New Journey - Week 2

Week 1 was fracking tough; it kicked my a**!  The lame part is that the first class did it.  In my attempts to continue some sort of exercise, I continued to do some stretches and weights.  Okay, not so bad.  I focused on my arms and it felt better.  Avoiding all lower body worked was imperative.

So what the hell kicked my a**?  After much contemplation, was it the cardio?  Maybe the added lunges on top of the cardio?  The lame part is that the cardio only consisted of 1 lap of jogging.  So sure, I was out of breath, but the following leg worked began the pain.  In the end, I strained my quads.  It was beyond the burn!

Now, I must modify this regime some how.  How?  I am not sure.  With all the splendid ideas, my fear can sometimes over power the actual "do."  Agh!  In the process, I also am watching the food I eat.  Have I indulged, not really.  The nice thing is that I apparently need to take in more calories.  Nice!  Eat more and exercise more!

Today is ab/core work day.  Hmmm?  I am not sure what to do and I have about 6 hours to decide....

A New Journey - A Healthy ME

I am ready to accept the things that I can do and change!  (Eeek, that sounds a bit like an AA meeting...)  As another month rolls along, along with another year of life, I have chosen to make a conscious effort to live a healthier life.  I will exercise more, eat a healthier diet, and make the conscious switch to get moving.

Today is the first day of the an 8 week Bootcamp.  My goal is to shed some pounds, become stronger, and get more energy.  I also began keeping a food diary and to my amazement, I am fully aware about the foods I consume in the day.  (Another eeek moment.)

Found a great app on my droid, which scans barcodes and syncs all my information.  Diet and exercise tracker will keep me fully aware of my bad habits.  Forcing me to recognize and own up to my lameness.  Fine!  I'm giving in and won't put up the fight anymore!

Since my last 'official' exercise regime occured a few months ago, I am nervous about my stamina in this bootcamp.  I do have goals and hope to create more at the end of the 8 weeks.  So far, I have maintained my goal of keeping track of my caloric intake.  Yay for me!  Next....is get moving!
