Addicted to the Gym

Good morning lovelies!

The new year is off to an interesting start. I have to say, I hate winter. It seems to drag me down and bum me out, and I become a bit of a hermit during this cold, dark time. I stay at home, I eat too much because I have nothing to do, and then I feel gross. I'm really, REALLY trying to break this habit, and all I can do is keep trying, right? RIGHT!

One great thing that I've started doing is that I've signed up with a personal trainer. This has forced me to start weight training again. I got out of the habit, and to be honest, I always felt like I really didn't know what I was doing. I have been going to the gym for years, and yet I still felt like I had no clue. Leah is teaching me how to do full-body workouts where I'm maximizing my time. I am going to try to record what do at the gym on here, so I remember the workouts, because the day will come when I no longer have a trainer, so I want to remember all this awesomeness!




Last week, she designed a program that I do myself twice a week. I did that. Then I see her once. That's my weight training for the week. On top of all that, I can do as much cardio as I choose and my body can handle. I counted, and I went to the gym 10 times last week! I go to the gym at lunch too, as I have an hour mandatory lunch and what else do I do? So...

Monday- morning-cardio (1 hr on elliptical). Lunch-cardio (30 min on elliptical)
Tuesday-morning-Trainer. Lunch-cardio (30 min on elliptical)
Wednesday-morning-swimming. Lunch cardio (30 min, 3 km walk)
Thursday morning-weights (workout from trainer). Lunch-cardio (30 min. interval cardio on elliptical)
Friday-morning-break. Lunch-cardio (30 min. interval cardio on elliptical)
Saturday-Day off
Sunday-30 min cario and workout from trainer


Sounds amazing right?! So the way I figure it, if I can JUST get my eating under control, I'll be an all-star! So I'll keep trying, plugging away, to do my best, and to remember to...eat how I want to feel!


Yesterday,
Monday-Morning-break. Lunch-30 min cardio (interval on elliptical)
Tuesday-Morning-Trainer. Lunch-30 min cardio (elliptical)

My other goal is to get back into running. I really dont know if it can happen, as my ankle was twinging as I was sprinting on the track this morning, but I'm going to try. Maybe it just needs to build in strength again. I'm thinking a 10 km will by my limit.


This post is getting crazy long, so I'll be back with my workout from this morning.

Muah!
