Today was an endurance day. Oy vey! Considering my muscles laugh at me just walking up the stairs, this was SUPER HARD for me. Especially after working out yesterday as well.
The 600 meter row just about did me in. But I did it. It was painful, and I had to stop a few times to let my legs rest, but I did it. Me. I did it. No one did it for me.
That is the thing I'm struggling with most. I'm doing this all on my own. My husband doesn't know that I joined OTF. He'd balk at the monthly fee...especially since I have a treadmill downstairs in the basement that I haven't been on in years. But this setup...this way...seems to work for me. If I don't show up...they charge me. It was always way too easy to make some excuse as to why I couldn't go to a gym...the roads are slick, it's raining, I've got PMS etc etc etc...there were no consequences other than the fact that I'm paying for something I'm not using. But OTF...they will charge me if I don't show. It's that little motivation that gets me there.
I love that the coaches are in my ear. Telling me (telling the class) to keep at it. Don't give up. Push. Give everything you've got. I need that. I've worked out more in the last week than I ever have. And I want to be able to maintain this. Hence this blog. I don't know if anyone will ever read it...but it's a little more accountability. The chance someone MIGHT come by...and wonder what's up.
My plan is to weigh weekly. Measure monthly. Eventually, I will settle into a Monday, Wednesday, Friday workout routine. Right now, I'm all over the place because my work calendar was already set. I can schedule these workouts into my calendar in the future so that I don't have any calls at that time.
If you're so inclined...say hi!
