I previously told you about my plan to help alter my bad eating habits, save $200 a month and to potentially start losing weight.
The concept of paying myself (transferring money from checking to savings) when I don’t eat out has worked well thus far. In addition to trying to eat better (believe me, there are still flaws) I’ve also started working out again.
Tuesday Morning after taking a spin class at the local YMCA something happened that I realized hadn’t happened in a really long time. I was hungry. Not just that “yeah I could probably eat right now feeling,” but more of the “I’m starving feeling.”
Seriously, when is the last time you actually were really hungry? The realization made me feel a bit… blah. The feeling has come back time and time again this week and it’s almost like I can feel my metabolism increasing. Woot woot!
I’m no health expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know what works for my body when it comes to working out. I’ve had a pretty intense workout schedule this week and thought I’d share it just in case you are trying to get motivated.
Monday – Lifted weights with a focus on chest, back and abs
Tuesday – 6 am spin class, 5:30 pm ab class (20 min long), 6:15 spin class
Wednesday – Break
Thursday – 6 am spin class, 5:30 pm spin class, biceps/triceps weight workout, sauna for 15 min
Friday – Will do 20 min on the bike tonight as a warm-up and then 30 minutes on the elliptical
Again, I’m no expert, but this is a schedule that works for me. By doing lots of different things it helps this become more of a lifestyle and not just a random workout every now and then.
