Day 2, 3 and 4

Day 2 of my adventure was kind of a disappointment to me, I really didn’t do much in the working out department, but I still worked on my health I took my daily vitamin in the morning and had a semi healthy breakfast, also a healthy lunch and semi healthy dinner. Hey can’t win them all, went to work for 8 hours, then came home and went grocery shopping for healthy food for me and my little family. I came home dead exhausted and went straight to bed. I was a little disappointed in myself but I am a work in progress. I will beat her, I will train harder, I will eat cleaner. I know her weaknesses I know her strengths, I’ve lost to her before, but not this time she is going down I have the the advantage, because I know her well. She is the old me, this is the new me and I will will be healthier. I’m not losing  weight I’m getting rid of it I have no intention of finding it again.

Day 3  Was a bust in the fitness department, I didn’t have a babysitter but I had a healthy breakfast and lunch win dinner not so much by the time I got home I was exhausted I didn’t feel like cooking and hubby was tired to so we ended up eating pizza. Well I know that was a little stumble, but nothing major to make me quit. I’ve got this be stronger than your strongest excuse.Image result for never quit quote

Which brings us to day 4. Today I woke up even more exhausted and my bones hurt all over and my back was hurting and I was lying in bed making excuse after dumb excuse as why not to go to the gym and then I thought about all the reasons I needed to get off my ass and go smash a workout. I also started to remember all the reasons why I started this fitness adventure. I also started looking up motivational gym/fitness quotes and I looked at a lot long enough to get the determination and motivation to get up get ready and go. So I did it, I went and I made it 1 hour and 5 mins.  Smashed 1 mini goal, I turned 45 mins at the gym to 1 hour 5 mins. I started on the treadmill I made it to 14 mins and 28 secs. BOOM a few steps closer to my mini goal of 20 mins. Then went to the life cycle bike and did 9 mins, just 1 minute away from my mini goal of 10 mins. CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP. Anna I am so damn proud of you. Then I did some dual pulley pull-downs 3 sets x 8 reps at 27.5 lbs. Then off to the hammer strength mts row 4 sets x 5 reps at 40 lbs. Then off to the seated leg press 6 sets x 10 reps at 60 lbs. Then leg extension 5 sets x 5 reps at 45 lbs and damn did I feel the burn. Last but not least I did chest press 5 sets x 5 reps at 30 lbs and my arms definitely felt the burn. I am soar ugh. Lol not to the shameless before my workout and after my workout selfies. lol

Those are my before my workout and the next ones are my after workout, boy do I look like I smashed the hell out of my workout.

My whole outfit came from torrid active wear, same sneakers from day 1. The headband came from target. They say it takes 21 days to make or break a habit, here is to me making fitness and gym life a life time habit. It will hurt. It will take time, it will require dedication. It will require will power.I will need to make healthy decisions. It requires self sacrifice. I will need to push my body to it’s max. There will be no temptation. But, I promise you, when I reach my goal, it will all be totally worth it.
