I WANT to workout!

Aren't you shocked I'm posting again?!?  Ha ha ha!  3 times this week so far!

First of all, I want to say a big hello and thank you to two new followers who left me awesome comments on yesterdays post!  Check out their blogs - they are awesome!!!

Roxie-Girl and Robin


I had another great workout at the gym today.  I actually went this morning before going to work!  Now that is the first time I have done that in a REALLY long time!  I think the last time I did that was about 6 or 7 years ago when I was doing Body for Life and worked out 6 days a week!

For the past few weeks months, I have felt "blah" about losing weight, eating healthily, working out, going to the gym etc and I just had no interest whatsoever in going to the gym.  Deep down, I wanted to WANT to go, but I just didn't care enough to do it.  I had no energy for living life.  I couldn't be bothered doing anything.  I was waiting for that light bulb to go off in my head and I would WANT to go to the gym again, and want to focus on my diet and losing weight!

Then it clicked just this week.  I WANT to go the gym again.  I WANT to get sweaty and out of breath and feel so sore the next day that I can hardly move!  (Yeah, I'm sick like that! lol)  And that's exactly what I've been feeling like today - it's painful to even get up from a chair!

Here's what I did:

Treadmill - 15 mins - 2 mins walking, 2 mins running, 1 minute walking, 2 minutes running, 1 minute walking, 2 minutes running, 2 minutes walking and 3 minutes running.  Total running time: 9 minutes!!

Cross Trainer - 10 minutes - Kilimanjaro Hill Program - Level 10 - 15

Spin Bike - 10 minutes - intervals.

Some stretches at the end!


I burned about 450 calories in this workout and felt great afterwards!

It's weigh in day tomorrow but I have a feeling I will stay the same.  I haven't been tracking my points and haven't been eating much fruit or veg - which means I have been snacking too much on potato chips, candy bars and ice cream..............woops - I really need to get to the grocery store.  I am missing my fruit and veg!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

    First of all, KILLER workout!!! I think what you did is called HIIT if I'm not mistaken. I've heard good things about this kind of cardio.
    I really need to start incorporating HIIT into my workouts!
    Secondly, thanks for the shout out. I'm glad to be your new follower, are you kidding me!!
    Love how real you are too. I look forward to checking in your weigh in tomorrow. Good luck!
    Oh, and stay off the chips! Just had to! LOL

    xoxo
