I just finished the circuit that I committed too. I almost went to bed without doing it but then I thought of coming on here and having to type that I didn't complete the commitment or feeling tempted to lie about it. Either of which would have just not sat right with me. It really didn't seem like a difficult way to get back in the game. But I did the complete 3 FULL circuits and I actually opted for the 25 squats because I can not stand doing them without the right form and so I ended up doing extras without really counting to make up for any that were not done properly. I know I am a perfectionist but it pays off in a lot of good ways.
Right now I am excited to go to bed after having worked out. The push-ups took a bit of adjusting too. A few months with no push-ups can really make a girl get weird and have to do her 10 push-ups girly style. I know everyone is asleep but I felt so embarrassed having to do them on my knees. My core was shaking so bad that I honestly was wondering what those months of doing them 3-4 times a week had went. MUSCLE MEMORY folks. It really does forget after a while. Luckily, muscle memory also means that Chetreanna will be able to regain that lost memory and then some within the next 90 days.
I have challenged myself like this before and it really payed off. The gym 4-5 times a week was the goal. Which left 2 free days. I did that for a month straight and saw AMAZING differences. I got many compliments and felt better all around. However, things changed and a year later from doing that challenge last year I find myself with no gym pass and inactive. Quite honestly the sedentary lifestyle is only as comfortable as you allow it to be. I don't feel as good about ANYTHING when I am not being active and engaging in some type of challenging workout weekly. Seriously it is NOT about the food. Working out is where the change takes place. It releases those happy endorphins and it actually is what guides your eating habits. After working out you desire something filling and also nourishing that won't leave you feeling like you are ready to give birth. Your body starts communicating clearly its needs and you finally are able to accept and provide for it. I have not had fruit more than 2x a week for the past couple of months either. How crazy is that. Yes I have NO MONEY whatsoever but I can manage to smuggle some grapes in every now and then can't I. There are only so many excuses before you realize there aren't any excuses. Only do or do not my friends.
Well, it is midnight and I sound like I just had coffee. Nope, that is the sound of tight thighs and abs :). Ha Ha. Anyways I bid you ado but before I leave. Take a few minutes out of today to do some push-ups or sit-ups! Then tell me how you feel :).
Jesus loves you as well so try to smile throughout the burn. He he
