I have decided this week I am going to lose 1kg so Sunday night I put post its all over our apartment saying "You will lose 1kg this week" as a way of reminding myself what my goal is. I know it will be tough as I ate into some of my 49 points this weekend and consequently I have already put on 0.6kg from when I weighed in on Saturday morning which means I will need to work even harder to help me reach my goals this week.
This Monday morning I got my lazy butt out of bed and headed to the gym.
Lucky for me the gym is walking distance or I may not have gotten
there. I am a really big fan of interval training on the treadmill. Right now my goal at the gym is to increase my cardi fitness as I am only just getting back into exercise and I am really unfit. Once I have been doing this for a few weeks I will start to incorporate more weights but for now I need to get my butt moving.
When I do interval training I do go 2 mins on and 2 mins off. My 2 minutes off is walking at 5kms/hr which may seem slow but this is the time my body has to recover and my 2 mins on is jogging with each lots of 2 minutes getting faster and faster so I am really pushing myself.
I have a playlist on my iPhone which is called "Pump It Up" it is my work out mix and what I do is each time I am walking I flick through and find a really great fast beat song so that when it is time to jog I want to go hard and it really works for me.
I try whenever I am on the treadmill to do a minimum 3km which today I smashed in record time for me, yay!
When I am finished I am so stuffed I just collapse on the mats and feel so proud of myself and now the next step is to do this every morning this week!
I just now need to focus on my diet... hmmm... I will keep you posted!
