Not sure what my problem was last night. Just wasn't in the mood but made myself do 90 minutes of aerobics. 60 min on the elliptical and 30 min on the bike. I didn't feel well after. Felt like tossing my cookies so I just left and went home. Ate some salad and layed down. This morning woke up thinking it's Wed and nope it's Tuesday. (weds have a sale at this store I like) so was looking forward to a break. Tonight I will focus on the weights, not sore at all so I know I can add another 5-10lbs to what I was doing. Plus I increased my protein intake and added rice instead of crackers..not sure if that gives more energy. We shall see if my experiment helps with hunger. I know the video I posted the other day I listened to her talking and she said when adding weights we have to increase eating. To the point where we are sick of food and I doubt I will ever be sick of food. HAhahaha. As long as I can still eat my deep fried chicken tenders then life is good.
I didn't push myself too much last night-was reading a book on my phone=discovered a few things on amazon so I was reading more than concentrating on how fast I was going=and they had the fans on. I got on one of the ellipticals that was right underneath the fan-so much better! I can make myself go faster harder if I have a cooling source otherwise I just get sick to my stomach and a headache. I learned the hard way not to drink tons of water right when I start. I have to make myself drink a ton of water the hour before I get on the machine...then keep sipping water every 5-10 minutes...maybe some day I will figure out why I need so much water..this gal is a polar bear and HATE being hot. Even sweating is annoying BUT I know it's good for us. I just need to get some headbands to stop the sweat from getting in my eyes.
Winchester=glad your foot is not hurting too bad. And congrats on the incline. It does help burn more calories as you climb higher. are you still doing those stretches? I have been faithfully stretching after my workouts except for last night. I notice a big difference in that buttock pain is not as evident if I do those exercises to stretch the gluts. I get some funny looks but I actually like doing those stretches-it feels good.
Norchan=yes you will warm right up with those. I haven't seen a new workout from Lisa Marie in 5 days. Hope she is doing ok. I read up on facebook about her-she had to have several surgeries and she didn't say what for but that she came up with these workouts to try to keep her body in shape during the 3 months of recovery after each surgery. I just have more motivation to go harder longer after reading her story. I have utmost respect for those who have to deal with various health issues and take time off to recover-getting back into the swing is SO hard!! It's true=an object in motion stays in motion. but when an object is not in motion they take longer to get going. So I have made a goal to at least try 60 min a day of activity-it seems like life gives us hiccups then we have to find the want and desire to get up and get back into the game.
