1. Getting Started

 Hello again, 

Today's goal was to get started (again). I was doing fairly well with exercise for a couple of weeks, then I decided to take holidays and ruined that because apparently time off work means time off everything. 

To be more specific, I finally got my elliptical moved over to our new house (after 8 months of being here) a few weeks ago and now I need to use it! So, I set a goal for 15 minuets. 

Firstly, I completely forgot to stretch first because I was too keen to actually get on it, which I think was a pretty serious mistake. With in literal minuets I was exhausted and my legs were ready to quit. It was 3, 3 minuets. I was slightly devastated by that, so I said, right let's do 5 and then work on arms. 

Which I did. I had a break in between because my thighs felt like concrete. But I pushed past it and continued to do an arm/upper body work out for 25 minuets. So I reached my general all over activity time.

At the end, I was pleased and felt pretty frigen good! 

Here's a shot of my work outs:

Now, setting goals for tomorrow. Now that I have a more realistic feel of the elliptical again, we will aim for a stretch, 5 - 10 minuets on it and then we work on possibly legs/bum, however, it probably be better to do my core since my legs will not like it. 

So, 25 ish minuets of core work out. I already have a routine, from those three weeks I was motivated for. I'll review that and possibly spend some time tonight finding things to focus on that area. 

I'd also like to take ten for meditation or reading or something mindful. I'm feeling a bit tense today, but that could be from the work out. 

Anyway, I'll check in later.

Cheers.
