Keep on - Keeping On...
Well yesterday I got my 100 badge, this means with Fitbit Coach I have sweated 100 sessions, I have walked and worked out 100 times!!! Wow! I was so surprised.
The challenge is real, exercise is not something you really "feel" like doing, it is something you must do. Kind of like cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. I have been even more challenged by having visitors and trying to balance my time between visiting with them and doing what I must to stay healthy and strong. I must admit I slacked quite a bit last week, I did the minimal exercise everyday, but when I realized I wasn't feeling as good, back at it I went.
I am happy to say that exercise is now part of my routine, but once in awhile I have to adjust that routine to accommodate others, or realize that my visitors will go on without me and find something to do while I do what I have to do. I realized this as I went about my daily activities that I must do, cook and grocery shop and they just hung out and found things to busy themselves with and it would be the same with my exercise. So now I just get up and say well, gotta go do me! lol
I jogged for 7 minutes the other day, I normally just powerwalk for 35-45 minutes, or do the hillish walk which is high incline intervals, but the other day I wanted to get the most bang for my buck so I picked my walking routine from Fitbit Coach and it was high intensity but short... short and sweet, my kind of exercise lol.
It was far from sweet!!! When the coach first said in my ear that we were going to go up to 4.5mph at a 0 incline and hold it there for 7 minutes I was like... yeah right, well I will see what I can do and as always I gave myself an out, saying if it gets too much we will slow it down and try harder next time, at first I was not watching the clock, I was distracted you see I have a tv in the gym and I distract myself with whatever netfix show I am into - usually 30 mins so I watch my show and burn calories its a win win... so I was watching my show and I was getting ready to hit the button and slow down thinking I couldn't hold on any longer... when I glanced at the clock I only had 2 minutes remaining, so I said to myself - self - go on do it, prove to yourself you can do it... and the 2 minutes were tough, I admit I wanted to quit, but I also wanted to see if I could actually do it... I did it, and the sense of accomplishment put me on a high that day that even had me considering taking part in the
Digicel 5K that happens here on the island in two weeks, what do you think should I do it?
Happy to hear from you all...
