So... today is day 2. I tried really hard to pay attention and watch what I had to eat. I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast. (Just one bowl, I tend to have 2). I had toast for lunch, and then a Subway hoagie shortly after. So, not too bad. I really could have gone for some chocolate, but... I didn't. Chocolate is my absolute weakness! I am a chocoholic in every sense of the word. It's pretty bad. I craaaave it some days. It's definitely my drug of choice, and has had a major role in getting me to where I am today. That, and over eating. Did you know there is actually something called a "food addiction"? I actually heard about this for the first time on Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition. I have always wondered if that was something I actually deal with, but it seemed silly. "Food addiction" just sounded like an excuse to why someone ate a lot. But, it's an actual thing.
Anyway, getting way off the subject here. Today was day 2. Today's workout was Plyometric Cardio Circuit. It started with the same exercises that were part of the fitness test. Starting at a regular kind of speed, then picking it up. This went on for, I dunno, 15 minutes? I wasn't really paying attention. Then, there was a stretching period, which, I can stretch like crazy! Then, it went into the actual workout!! Again, different exercises, done for a period of time, but then you rest. So, you work up your heart rate, rest, work it up again.
The entire routine, start to finish, is 45 minutes. I..... made it 25. FAIL!!! Ugh. I just could not do any more. I was seriously afraid of throwing up my Black Forest Ham and Turkey Subway Sub!!! And, I just cannot willingly bring myself to workout to the point of throwing up. Although, that would be a quick way to "burn off" anything I ate!!
So, I am a little disappointed in myself because I couldn't make the whole routine. But, I am trying. This is supposed to be a 60 day workout routine, but for me, it will be more like 90-120 before I get through the whole thing, beginning to end. Which, if that is the case, then so be it!
I also did some time on the Eliptical. 11 minutes today. Man, my legs were heavy this time, but, I stayed with it. Tomorrow I will shoot for 12!! And, tomorrow is Cardio Power and Resistance. EEk!!! Wish me luck!!
