The Gym

Ok so as most of you know i am still competing in the Biggest Loser Challenge.

So I began to slack off again, not going to the gym, not following my meal plan. You know the "just one more bad fatty yummy dinner" type of thing, like Homer Simpson drooling over some morsil of food. Yeah, that's me. I have very limited self control unfortunately and have a tendency to forget what i allowed myself the day before, only to allow myself something equally as bad the following day. I had a reality check this week though and realized the wedding is in 4 months, not much time at all. Especially if i actually decide to give this some effort, what if the weight doesn't start to come off and then it's down to the wire, then what do i do?

This week i got back at it. I lifted weights for an hour, i did every part of my body possible and focussed completely on toning. Let me add this was a terrible idea as i had not lifted weights in months. The next day every part of my body felt as though it had been pummeled by a baseball bat and it actually hurt to try and sit on the toilet. So being in that state i decided to forego the class i was going to take and just went on the treadmill for 45mins. Still in terrible pain, i gave myself the next day off. I was back at it on the Wednesday, went to a class at the gym after work, Cardio Combo it's called. It involved a step, some weights, one of those balls and lots of abs. I enjoyed it as much as one can when their face is bright red and it's difficult to breathe. I've decided to make a schedule and try out some of the classes. It will keep me from getting bored and the monotony of what i have been doing. I also find i push myself harder when in that type of setting. I would rather die than put down my weights and give up half way through the class, as i most likely would do in the cardio room :)

Thursday i tried the Circuit Training, in the weightroom. Wow, i must say that was quite the workout. I've never sweated so much while doing weights. She showed me some new exercises and i was finished in 45 mins. I liked it. Now if i can ever get my ass out of bed on saturday mornings, there is something called Combat Training.....not sure i like the sounds of that one, too military for my liking, but we'll see.

It's Friday now....and all of my muscles are aching from the circuit training...ahhhhhhhhh.
