The Workout Week Begins: Day 2

Well, I can honestly say that I did it...I successfully worked out two days in a row! Now, I know this doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment, especially considering that working out used to be a part of my daily routine, but for some reason, since I moved to Colorado it has become a very difficult task to get my butt off of the couch and out the door with my tennis shoes on. I really don't know what the deal has been, I have just not been motivated. But, I decided, enough is enough and it's time to quit being a lazy pile and start working out...and so I have! My Monday workout consisted of a 20 minute warm-up on a treadmill, followed by 25 minutes on an EFX machine, upper body lifting, and a short cool-down on a treadmill. Not too bad for day 1 and I really haven't been too sore today (although that could mean that I didn't work hard enough). Tonight, it took until 8:30pm to get myself to the workout facility at my apartment because I was preoccupied with the phone and Sex & the City (and a little bit of arguing with myself on whether or not I was going to go), but I finally made it. My routine was pretty much the same as yesterday except for no lifting today. I am very happy with myself for deciding to get a workout in and I really feel great! Hopefully my workout will at least partially compensate for the Little Cesars I had for lunch ( I really need to start working on my eating now that my workouts have started...but seriously, let's just take one thing at a time)! Ok, well there is my workout update so far, and let's just hope that I can keep it up!
