Today is the end of week 4 of my exercise journey. I have done really well, but not good enough! I have consistently done my weight training every other day and have done cardio at least every other day. I should be doing cardio every day!
I've tried to eat better. With soccer season here, I don't cook like I would like to, so we eat whatever we can find in the house like cereal or waffles for dinner. I seem to do better during the day, and then when the kids come home I want to eat cookies or ice cream. I do need to have more fruit and veggies in the house. My plan is to go food shopping tomorrow to stock up on the good stuff!
As of Monday, I add a 4th day for strength training and I go from 3 to 5 lb. weights. I started off at 3 lbs. to make sure it didn't hurt my chest. But I find it easy at 3 lbs. so now it's time to move up.
I am proud of myself for sticking to my routine and pushing myself to make sure I do the exercises when I am supposed to. Some days are harder than others and I have to force myself to get through it! Day 2 of strength training is still a rough one! At this point, exercise has become part of my normal routine so sticking with it isn't so hard. I want to get the most out of my workouts, so I will continue to push myself through it every day and add more when necessary.
Now, to work on my eating habits...
