OFF TO A GREAT START

Well, today wasn't the best day to show you any outfits, because today is laundry day. So I will be lounging around in my sweaty workout clothes while doing house chores and laundry. :s Better luck tomorrow.

Today however has started off on the somewhat right foot today. To be honest, all I wanted to do was lay in my bed curled in the fetal position praying for the womanly pains to go away!! But, I talked myself through it. I'm not going to get where I need to be if I let the pain an the oh so convincing persuasions of my bed keep me from the gym.  I crawled out, threw on my workout clothes, didn't even bother doing my hair (I'm going to get gross and sweaty any way) and went to the gym.

Today I did the elliptical for 1 hour. I usually run or do something else a little more strenous, but I tore the meniscus lining of my right knee, so until further notice, all workouts need to be low impact.  But anyway, back to the elliptical. I did it for 1 hour interval training. My intervals were low 4 and a high 12. I kept a steady pace of 110 strides per minute.  I pretty much wanted to cry, and again curl in the fetal position, due to the pain I was feeling. However, I did it. I worked through it and I couldn't have been more proud!

Now you may be thinking, "1 hour on the elliptical that is a long time." Yes, but it is worth it. I then went to the weight room and grabbed a mat.  I did a few stretches and then got back to work.
Thanks to Pinterest, I cam across a month long program for ab workouts that totally kick my trash

I know it says Mean Abs June. But this workout can be adapted for any month. Heck I'm doing it for October.  Listen up though, this workout gets intense, don't feel like you need to do exactly what the day says, if you need to repeat a day a couple more times, because you know it will continue to give you a workout, that is great! Keep it up! Right now I'm on day 12, and let me tell you, I feel the burn! After I do that, I work my arms out a little more. I do some of the machines- 4 sets of 12 reps. I'll try and mark these down better next time. 

So, that was my morning, it was about 1.5 hours of wonderful, bettering me time.  But, check back later tonight and I will post the foods I ate todayt!
