My girlfriend lives right down the street from me so for accountability, I've been picking her up on my way to the gym. If I know someone is waiting on me, I go. When it's just, I make every excuse under the sun.
I got up early after going to bed at midnight and REALLY wanting to hit snooze. Got to her house and texted her to tell her I was there. She wasn't feeling well so wanted to skip and apologized for the late notice.
I told her late notice is actually great b/c if she had texted 10 minutes prior, I wouldn't have gone.
Why?
Why can't I hold myself accountable?
That is so annoying!
I went to the gym and did the treadmill workout from the trainer a couple weeks ago:
1 minute on - 6.0mph
30 seconds sprint - 7.5 mph
30 seconds rest
12 times
The final round I sprinted at 8mph. It was a doozy and I was a sweaty, sweaty mess.
Then I headed over to do chest & back. My goal was to do 2 exercises for each but I ended up only doing one. This heavy lifting thing is tough work! I was fatigued quickly so it's something I really need to work on.
Narrow grip cable pull 75# 4 rounds of 8 reps each.
Chest press with 20# dumbbells 4 rounds of 10 reps each.
Felt good on both. I really should have kept going but oh well. Better than nothing I suppose.
I've been eating really healthy lately, drinking tons of water, and taking my vitamins. All around, I feel well-balanced right now which is no surprise since my work schedule isn't over the top. As soon as I have a busy week at work, all hell breaks loose and I can't maintain any other part of my life.
This blog helps me to document my awareness of it at least. It helps. Same w/ my awareness that had my friend texted 10 minutes sooner, I would have bailed as well. Awareness is the first step!
