Today was a good day at work. Got quite a bit accomplished, despite having staff out what seems like left and right this whole entire week. AND, it's a 3 day weekend for me! woohoo Thanks, work, for taking Battle of the Flowers off. You rock! :)
But I must admit...I came home, and SO did not want to workout. I lacked energy and the motivation to do it. So, I texted several of my accountability people, who then encouraged me (some way more than others lol).
And what did I do? Called NC to see if she'd come over and just help motivate/encourage me to workout, though she wasn't able to herself as her leg was hurting her. And thanks, NC, for pushing me!!
Did my workout. And pushed myself pretty hard. Discovered that I can do the modified plank (elbows and knees on floor) for a full 60 seconds, then some. :) hhhheeeeee
I then decided to push myself a little harder and see if I could attempt the medium plank (elbows on floor). Didn't do so well. But was able to do it WITHOUT MY BACK HURTING!!! Last time I tried them, couldn't do it as it was putting a lot of stress/strain in my back. So, that was cool!!!
And finally, I had realized that I really wasn't feeling the wall push-ups affecting the muscles too much (though they still did), so I attempted the girl push-ups. I was able to do them!!!!! I can only do about 5 at a time without resting, but hey, that's a start!!!!
So, all in all, hit 3 milestones today. And I celebrated. :) UBER EXCITED!!! haha
Can't wait to keep pushing myself. I think this was what I needed to help keep me motivated. I love these small, baby step goals. Every time I look at them, and accomplish one of them, it makes my heart happy, and it pushes me to press on for the prize...a life of healthiness. :)
Now, it's time to relax and enjoy my 3 day weekend. Tomorrow (Friday), NO workouts are planned. It is my complete rest day from all things work. :) Saturday morning, it's the evil day workout. I'm gettin' kinda excited about it! haha :)
Til next time! :) Oh, and in one week, I'm down 3 lbs! woohoo! Go God!!! :)
