Run 4 miles

Notes:

A lot of rest lately due to family and work obligations and travel. In the past I would berate myself for so many rest days. Now, not so much. 😊

And that workout on Saturday was awesome. It has to be 6 years since I did a hotel workout that was a good long full workout that I *wanted* to do and not running 1 mile on a treadmill to maintain my streak, while hungover, exhausted, and nauseous. I freaking loved my time in the gym on Saturday. 🥰

All is Vanity

I spend way too much time looking at myself in the mirror. Lord, have mercy! My mother is looking back at me! The aging struggle is real. Usually, these days, I take a good quick look at who is staring back at me because the girl I once was, is long gone. But then, I remember the Psalmist’s words: “Turn my eyes from looking at vanities: and give me life in YOUR ways.” Did you know that vanity…

Day 5 of 5 day workout week:

It’s Friday! 🙌🏽 I’m sore. I’m tired. But, I’m not defeated! Gotta get in one more training session. It might not be pretty! But, it’s getting done all the same.

I went a little less cardio heavy today:

-I started with a quick 100 calories burned on the elliptical to warmup.

-Then, I moved on to Metabolic Strength Training courtesy of Cathe Friedrich Live! (See link below for example!) We used various hand weights and kept the heart rate elevated throughout. I labeled it as functional training for Apple Watch purposes.

That’s 🖐🏽 workouts for the week! Wasn’t easy. Wasn’t glamorous. But, I cannot argue with the results. Until next week, keep your head up and keep moving! 🫶🏽

Trying to get back into a gym routine. I feel like I’m all over the place.

Starting today 5 miles at the gym on the elliptical. My goal is to beat 60 minutes.

I was able to do the 5miles in under 47 minutes last time. I’m hoping to be able to do this again in time.

Last time I did this, I lost 22 lbs. I felt amazing and looked good. I gained some weight back and need to get back into the swing of things.

1 lean body protein shake for breakfast.

1 small salad for lunch

1cup of fruit for snack

64oz of water a day.

5miles after work.

Dinner which is mostly meat and veggies (add starch once a week

Cheat day was Saturday or Sunday depending on plans.

Workout 5-6 days a week.

This is my goal and you are more than welcome to join my journey!

30 minutes on the elliptical is no joke for me! Enjoy my sweaty selfie that I'm very self conscious about, but can post here 😘

Lots of protein

Finished my book

Finished my work

Excel EFX Runner Elliptical trainers provide a low-impact workout, which is easier on the joints compared to activities like running or jogging. This makes them suitable for individuals with joint issues or those recovering from injuries.

5•31•23 || discovered that reading while using my elliptical helps me go further than music does. I just did 4 miles in an hour (level 12 resistance most of the time) and burned 368 calories.
