Day 7. One whole week in.

Well, I made it one whole week without giving up. That's pretty impressive right there! Today was Day 7. And, being a Sunday, it should have been my "resting" day. But, I seem to be doing things all out of whack in this first week. Today I did what should have been yesterday's workout, which was the Plyometric Cardio Circuit, same as Day 2. Like I said, I was anxious to see if I was going to be able to go any further into the routine then I did the first time around.

It was really just an off day. I feel like I am slowly going down the road to failure. It seems like such an easy thing to do... eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, blah blah blah. But, when you have lived such an inactive life for the last 4 years like I have, it really takes some discipline and motivation to get into this stuff. I am trying. I just feel like I am not doing enough.

It was kind of late in the day until I got to do the workout. (I took Hannah to a Vera Bradley bingo, and won NOTHING! Haha.) So, it was later in the day, and I had just eaten not long before starting. I really struggled though the workout. It was hard to breath. Hard to keep up. Hard to really get into it. As much as I think I want to do this, today just felt like a chore. 

I did make it a little more then 5 minutes more into the routine then last time. I did, however, have a break or two in the middle where I paused it to catch my breath. Once I did, I wanted to get right back into it, only to have to break another 5 minutes in. *sigh* 

So, Plyometric Cardio Circuit, you won again. I was actually thinking maybe I will try it again tomorrow in the morning time. See if I can do a little better earlier in the day. 

I also did some time on the Eliptical, but even that wasn't as great as it should have been. Only 10 minutes, and I struggled through that as well. Ugh!!  (It's so hard not to get discouraged.) Tomorrow is another day.
