I started my challenge off right by heading to the gym for lunch, a first on many levels. I managed to get in 3.5 miles in 40 minutes. day 1-complete!
I totally need a lesson on machines...I am clueless. I could barely figure out how to work the treadmill so just did the "quick start" to go! And I realized I definitely like running outside better! Am going to need to figure out different things to do so I don't burn out on the treadmill!
I am not the biggest person in the gym. Big change from probably 4 months ago! And helped with the whole "gym intimidation" factor...
I made it back to ww today after skipping 2 weeks due to vacation....and had lost 4.8lbs! I now have about 12lbs to go before the first big goal. I can do this!!
I need to bring make-up remover with me. Raccoon eyes is not a good look for going back to work.
I wish the towels were softer. And bigger.
Some people have no modesty! Even in small spaces...grab a towel, people! ;-)
Apparently my hair looked good with the very rough dry I did after work out. A co-worker complimented my new hair-do, ha ha!
But all and all, it wasn't too bad. I wasn't totally scared being there...and it felt good to get the exercise DONE for the day.
How did you do on your first day of the challenge??

At first I was too tired do anything when I got home from work but my Luke wanted to ride the elliptical machine so I went up with him and rode the bike for 20 minutes. That was not enough time to get a piece of my star in the President's challenge but it was something. This morning I did my 25 minute run - I'm almost back up to where I was at.
ReplyDeleteAnyway sorry for the book... thanks again for organizing this and I'm impressed with your gym membership. Way to go!!!
Unfortunately, all I did was clean house vigorously in preparation for the maid. I tried to take the stairs quicker than normal and I even worked up a sweat. Hoping to get a workout in this evening after I put the kids down.
