Made It To The Gym

Proof that I was up at 6.30am

Ok So I actually made it to the gym this morning! I was amazed! I got up at 6.15 but am thinking that going forward I will actually get up at 6.00am so I am not so rushed. I need to be at the gym for 6.30 so I can walk in as soon as they open. I was actually quite surprised how easy it was to get up, having the natural light in the morning makes so much difference!!! I arrived at the gym at 6.40ish and was on the cross trainer by 6.45. Now I learnt 2 things today.... 

1) Water is essential in the morning! When I go to the gym in the evening I have drunk over 2 liters of water through the day and so don't get thirsty during my workout. This morning I was parched within 2 minutes! I didn't have a water bottle or anything with me so just struggled through it and then drank nearly 1litre as soon as I got into the office! 

2) Two weeks of not going to the gym kills your fitness levels! I was knackered within 15 minutes and only managed to do a total of 20... pathetic! 2 weeks ago I was doing 45 minutes on level 10/11 and today I had to stop after doing 20 minutes on level 8/9! But i know that within a week I will back up to where I was and I have defo learnt I really cant take 2 weeks off and not expect to drop a little! 

I was thinking this morning of what my plan should be as I only have about 40/45 minutes in the morning to do exercise... so my plan will be as follows:

Mon - Cross trainer/running

Tues - Toning exercise and weights

Wed - Cross Trainer/ Running

Thurs - Toning exercise and weights

Fri - Cross Trainer/ Running

Then I plan to take Sat and Sun as rest days. I was originally thinking of going to the gym on a Monday evening as Monday morning is my Weigh In but I realised I can just do a WI at 6am or at the gym as I got on their scales this morning and it says pretty much the same as mine. 

Now I do have one confession to make.... YESTERDAY I TOTALLY BLEW MY CALORIES OUT OF THE WATER... 

I don't know what was wrong with me I totally had a moment of weakness ...had one bad thing and then just said "oh what the hell" ...big mistake. Drawing a line and moving on! Talking about moving on...although I made a mistake yesterday I am feeling really good at the moment. I think it's the new hair and new clothes...I just feel more deserving and feel alot less fat. I can feel my natural body shape coming out and I am taking more care in my make up and appearance... I am loving it... perhaps just maybe I am getting a bit of self-love??
