Week 3

This is the third week and our gym habit should be pretty set by now. For me this has been an entirely positive experience throughout and not once have I felt like I was giving anything up; but in fact, I have gained from this experience!

I have given up colas and other processed drinks for this week's goal. However, I've found mself also giving up other food sources of sugar, fat, and grease. I've found myself eating more salads and fruit. By some weird twist of desire I've lost the taste for fast food altogether. I've made more effort to eat a full, healthy breakfast daily, starting with a big glass of water. I haven't eaten any pizza for 2 weeks. There's been an uneaten donut on my table for a week, and 2 can's of soda in the fridge, and they aren't even tempting.

I haven't missed any of these things or felt like they were a sacrifice. But rather, my food choices are quickly becoming AFFIRMING choices, POSITIVE choices. I've also taken to walking about 2-4 miles a day for no reason whatsoever.

CARDIO:
-Ramp up the intensity during each session to max out and get winded. Take a measurement--this will be a baseline to mark our progress. Also, isn't about time we did something physically intense?

STRENGTH:
- Do situps from a prone position (laying flat) and moving all the way up. (Don't grab your neck)! 10 straight
20 crossing elbow to opposite knee
10 straight
- Try to add another weight to the pushups. 3 sets of 10.

Reflect upon your progress, your commitment, and reaching your first fitness goal! Reward yourself with something other than eating or training. What? You mean fitness is its own reward? Then keep going! Now you're getting it!
