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.
SN. I am saying a special prayer for those in the east coast. Be safe and also place all of your heavy items that could fall and hurt you on the floor! And lastly all of those that are starting school in the fall I wish you a successful school year! Continue to pray for me and my family and that God will bless us and help us financially.
