I woke up at 5AM, then went to the gym this morning. I went solo. Dad didn't go in, thats why I went in a hour later. I did 15 on the treadmill, then I did weights. I did 60 tricep presses (I looked at the machine today, haha). 50 inner thigh workouts. 10 pleyas on each leg. 20 ab curls, normal. 10 ab curls with my legs pointed in either direction for each side (left and right). 10 butterflies. 20 weight pull downs. Then I did the other 15 minutes on the bike. I think I like it better doing all cardio first though. I just wanted to try something different. I enjoy my routine too much to change it. :)
I had my protein shake after the work out. I made hard boiled eggs for brunch and snacked on cucumbers. For dinner I had 2 mini english muffin pizzas and a slice of cheesecake. When I got home I had 2 bites of chocolate cake. I know tsk tsk. I shouldn't have had the chocolate cake since I had the cheesecake. I couldn't help myself. It just looked so yummy!
I'm not as sore today as I was yesterday. I need to up my reps on things. Oh good news though! I haven't lost any weight still, but I put some shirts on today that I know use to fit my tight and guess what! They look nice and are more loose on me. I am so happy! Brenda suggested I take measurements. I think I will. That way I will have 2 ways of monitoring my progress. :)
I had a great day today. My Aunt took me to get a pedicure. It was AMAZING! I loved every minute of it. We went to Gentle Nails. My toes look so cute! Bright blue polish with a white flower on the big toes and the other ones have a coat of glitter polish on them. I will post pics tomorrow. Too late to do it now. Mrs. Tran kept tickling my feet. She would tickle it and look up at me with a smile on her face. It was funny. She also commented on how long my toes are and how short I kept the nails. Oh for tomorrow when I put the pics up, be for warned. They are NOT fingers, they are indeed my toes. They make up, I swear, half my shoe size! I have amazing monkey toes!
I later went over after work to visit. Thats where I had dinner at.
My mom came in my room before I went to get the pedicure and it made me sad. She was so excited and wanted to see my feet and the nail design I got. I told her that I hadn't gotten it done yet and she just requested that I show her when I get home. It made me feel bad for going with my Aunt to get this done and not with her. I know she enjoys me going out with my Aunt, but I kind of thought about mothers/daughters going out and doing this sort of thing. When I got home I told her I wanted to take her to get hers done too. She said no, in a polite way. I then offered to take her to get her a manicure, she said that would be nice. Payday I will take her, she will love it.
I got the best message from a friend, Amanda. I don't think any one realizes just how good it feels to know that someone is reading my blog and paying attention to what I am doing, rather what I am changing in my life to better myself. She told me some healthy eating tips and gave me some encouraging words. It really does help me knowing that someone is reading my posts. I feel more accountable. I don't know how to quite explain it. It just helps a lot to know that people really do care, not saying that no one cares about me. Its just nice to get feed back. So, thank you to everyone who is reading this and who is giving me all the support I need.
Its as my friend said, its a life style. One which I have to learn a new and for the better! Today really was an amazing day. I had fun hanging out with my cousin Brady, even if it did take him 6 times to spell "Dani" right. That brat.
I encourage everyone to find a healthy lifestyle, it really will be worth it in the end. All this sweat and time I am putting in will benefit me in the long run. Its habit I am creating for myself so I can have more energy and feel MY best. :)
