Even though I'm on maternity leave Fridays are still my favourite day of the week. Tomorrow I'm rejoining Weight Watchers, and I'm really stoked ! I personally need to be accountable for what goes in my mouth. I've taken 2 months off from it and haven't had much, if any, success. I thought maybe I could do this on my own, but I'm not at the point yet, and that's ok !
Yesterday, I went to the gym and had a great workout ! I was gonna start jogging & intervals, but instead, I decided to stick my routine and just increase the level at which I work out. It's always better to walk on an incline ( I do a lot of treadmill work). So, I really enjoy the random program. It has levels 1 - 20. The first week I did the program at level 3 and varied my speeds between 3.3 mph and 3.5 mph, the same with level 4. When I started at level 5, I did find that 3.5 mph was a little too much, so I hoovered between 3.3 and 3.4, but I felt great ! I always start off with a good 5 minute warmup and due to the variation of inclines during my workout ( 45 minutes) I always do a 10 minue cool down, so all in all I get in 1hr, and it feels great ! I don't know if anyone else finds this, but I seem to get my "second wind" as they say at 25 - 30 minutes in, and I love it !
I'm thinking I'll need to upgrade my iPod, however. Currently I have 120 songs on, but I don't have iTunes on my new laptop, so maybe that's another investment I should consider in the near future. When it comes to having the proper "tools" for working out, the cost is certainly worth, afterall, I'm worth it.
I've also been thinking about getting to the pool once a week. With my work schedule it's hard to fit in working out Mon - Wed 'cause honestly, I just want to go out on my own. As much as I love Nicholas, it's nice to go to my workout COMPLETELY on my own, as I'm sure many of you know. It really is 'me' time.
A friend of mine up here in Calgary ( who's also from home, someone I've grown up wtht all my life) has decided to go to Zumba classes with me. She's currently out of town, so I look forward to our first class, and am thinking Sundays may be a great day to go for a swim. Now, to find a good pair of goggles.
Hope you are all having a fabulous day. Enjoy the weekend !
