DAY 4 at work/fitness update
Day 4 at the jOB...
So today at the job I went over policy and procedures. It was as exciting as reading any policy and procedure book would be.lol. But something exciting that I did today was play wii with the elderly at a nursing home! I really enjoyed watching them play and I had a good time! So that was a gr8 feeling, mainly because I really enjoy interacting with the elderly population. Oh, and good news, I got a raised. well all the VISTAS at my job got one. It actually equals up to $30.48 more. Every little bit counts and is very much needed and appreciated. So I am very excited about that!
Fitness Update:
I am really proud of myself today. I ate really healthy and I worked out for over 1 hour today. I ran one mile in 10:20 mins so that was exciting. My goal is by the end of 8 weeks to be able to run 3 miles in under 30 mins.I then did circuit training for the remaining 50-55 minutes. I focused mainly on my bottom half today. I did squats while I lifted a bar as I came up. I did step ups and lifts with two 10 pound weights. I also did lunges, leg extensions, and abductor and the other dictors, chest press,lol. I also did the thingy where you are pushing up with your legs I believe its called a seated leg press. I did about 3 sets of 10-15 of each. I also did a front plank, and side plank on each side.I did pretty good on the front and side planks. I was able to hold on for 43 seconds. My goal for next week is to up it to 60 seconds and in 2 weeks to be able to whole it for 2 minutes, and by the end of 6 weeks to hold it for 5 minutes and by week 8 to be able to hold it for 7 or 8 minutes. I did 80 front crunches. 80 bicycle crunches, and 50 side crunches on each side. I am really proud of myself. Tomorrow I will work on my abs and top half. I am also going to run for another mile and hopefully make it to a group class. If I am unable to do a class. I still want to be able to workout for one hour. I weighed myself on the scale tonight and it said that I am 158... Thats awesome I am now currently down 9 pounds. I can't really see a difference in my clothes or anything. However, I know that will come with time. Last week when I did my final weigh in with my Y-change coach I had lost 7.2 pounds and lost 2 1/2 inches. My goal is to double the amount that I lost with him and and to also double the inches that I lost as well. So far I am doing well becuase I have already lost 2 pounds this week. If I keep at it I will lose my ideal 25 pounds by Homecoming! Wish me luck and continue to encorage me! Be blessd and as always thank you for reading.
