Me First And That's OK!
It's week two of feeling the "Me First," vibe and I am still trying to find balance. I spent Labor Day Weekend fulfilling a promise that took me two years to make good on. I visited one of my band babies at her college. We had so much fun it makes me wonder why I didn't do that before now?
My "Me First," for today? Rather than get up and kick into gear with house cleaning and getting dinner figured out along with other things, I went to the gym. It was a slow start. I didn't make it much last week so I was feeling it today.
1/2 mile on treadmill and a solid lower body workout with weights. My current leg press is 180lbs. At the height of my personal trainer time last year I was consistently doing 245-270lbs per workout. I need to get my weights built back up there.
My goal is to get some more walking in today with my favorite walk away the pounds DVD and I had an on point low carb breakfast with 2 eggs over medium, sliced avocado and some Hilltop Meats hand-smoked sausage, extra spicy.
I will update this post if I get the additional walking done. Any comments of encouragement are greatly appreciated as well as comments sharing what you're doing to get healthier!
Weigh day is Friday!
*Edited to add just finished walking 3 miles for an overall 3.6miles today.
*Edited to add food for the day.
2 eggs, 4pcs smoked pork sausage, 1 avocado, 2 bubba burgers with cheese, sauteed spinach with garlic and olive oil.
Sounds like you're rocking it! Thank you for the inspiration!
