Mini Heat Wave

OMGoodness this mini heat wave is just awful. I only trained one day this week. I did do one 30 min cardio. I have to say my knees feel a bit stronger, I can only imagine how good I'm going to feel by August!! I realize now with summer around the corner.  I'm going to have to leave my walking (for exercise) either very early in the morning or late in the evening just when the sun is going down.  Dedication is about making it work no matter what. So I just have to do what I have to do.  Today's exercise is running after a three year old in the park. Another reason to get in shape cause toddler twins energy is much higher than mine. :)  Hopefully I can keep up with Twin A today.

Daniel Fast

Yesterday I went for my first day of training this week.  I should have gone again this morning before the rain started, but I was lazy. It looks like I will have to train on Saturday and Sunday.  I've decided to the Daniel Fast for 10 days. I'm doing it for spiritual clarity, and to overall feel better. If you don't know what the Daniel Fast is. The meal plan is mostly veggies and fruits. Plus you take the time to deepen your faith. You can find out more details about it here. Next week I plan to add one or two days of cardio on the days I don't train. Mostly likely it will  be one day for next week and then the following week two days. Slow and steady is my plan when it comes to exercise.  I finally found a coconut juice I like. I'll share it tomorrow. I hope everyone is enjoying their day.

Out of Breath

I loved day two of training.  Oh boy I can feel how out of shape I'm in. The good thing is that I know if I stick with it. In a few weeks I can push  myself even more. I enjoyed the quiet time. Quiet time at home doesn't exist with 3 year old twins. It really reminded me of much I miss running. It was a good to feel my legs aching by the time I got home. Tomorrow will be the final day for week one.  I'm taking it one training day at a time.

Training Day

Yesterday was my first day training.  One thing I need to get right away is a new running sneakers. The sneaker I have not the right one. It felt good to start.  Although I had to keep it a brisk walk for the whole time instead of the 2 min. jog. My ankle is still giving me trouble, but that's okay. I'm not going to use that as an excuse. Plus, I want to buy an insert for my sneakers (and shoes) for more support.  Tomorrow is day two. Its the same:

5 min brisk walk

2 min jog

5 min brisk walk
