This is exactly what I needed. I feel really bad about the way my body looks after a year without the gym. Today I did some walking lunges with dumbbells in the morning and went for a 5 mile walk because the weather was so nice. Tomorrow I'm going to start a challenge and check in to help me stick to it. I like these videos from Caroline Girvan. I've done some of her workouts and they really are challenging. Tomorrow I'll start this 60 Day Epic program.

New goal starting tomorrow: meditate daily. So hard for me to be consistent with this even though it works miracles.![]()
I simply wasn't in the mood for traditional workout. I didn't want to let another day pass, without working out (actually i was feeling like moving, but I wanted something lese). So, I tried zumba. All I can say, is that it looked easy and fun when I watched it on my couch. It still was fun, but far from easy, I had no rythm, I was confusing left with right, movimg my arms weirdly and so on)))) After 30 minutes I was all sweaty, huffing and puffing and wondering when 30 min went! For the first time, a workout time felt so short! Tomorow I'll do an hour, haha!
All I can say, is that I had no idea how exhausting, but fun Zumba is. Definately gonna try more tomorow! Woooohoo and there are tons of zumba workouts on youtube, i have free mterial for an entire year, i think![]()

I might actually do this one, it feels challeging as fuck and... the trainer is... something
And I'd pair it with a 30 min strenght workout, to make it an hour...

I finished my workout by 11:45am today and I meditated.
I love dance workouts. That's actually what I ended up doing yesterday because my energy wasn't right for a workout with weights. Today I'm going jogging.
I am on period and I couldn't really do the clip I said about yesterday. But I sill had enough evergy for a workout and some dance, so I did this clip
It wasn't as entertaining as the yesterday one (music was meh, that guy talked, but it was helpful because i could keep up with it a little more), but I still drenched in sweat (if I see sweat drops on the floor, it means that the workout was effective, lol). Was pretty hiit-ish, so, overall was ok.
Probably gonna do a simmilar one tomorrow. My rythm is still inexistent and those rapid zumba clips, are making me punch myself in the face and stumble on my own legsAnd I am a slow turtle, need to learn to move faster.
One thing I know: I need a fucking mirror. I can't see what I do and that drives me crazy, because I won't be able to correct my movements, if I can't see what I do wrong (for now I can only feel, lol).

I jogged almost 8 miles today. I have a huge blister now. I don't know why I'm avoiding these hiit dumbbell workouts. I always feel great afterwards. Anyways, I'm proud of myself for today.
Yayy, well done!!!
I haven't worked out for 3 days.
2 days ago I went to see some friends, so I didn't get my workout.
Yesterday, my period was heavier, i slept a lot.
Today I argued with my bf, so I took a nap, instead of working out. Bonus, he felt guilty and woke me up with burgers and macarons)))
Tomorow I work out.

Meditated 4 days in a row.
I worked out before sleep, for 45 minutes. Then I woke up and I wasn't in the mood to work, so I worked out for another 45 minutes. So, I basically did a 90 min workout in 24 hours. Nice. Planning to repeat the experience, trying to work out twice a day. Of course, not gonna have the energy to always do 45 min min workouts, but I notice I am falling asleep faster when I exhaust myself before bedtime.
It's tiring, I rather sit in bed and stare at the walls, but I start with a 10 min lazy warm up and then decide to exhaust myself to sleep hahaha))

Oops didn't meditate for 2 days. I have to start doing it earlier in the day so I don't forget about it.
For pretty much all of my adulthood I never had an appetite in the morning, even if I was hungry nothing would be appetizing so I usually wouldn't eat till lunch(or dinnertime if I was really busy). I've read too that you're supposed to be hungry when you wake up in the morning and if you're not it's a sign of your hormones being out of whack. Recently though I am hungry more often than not when I wake up and I want to EAT. And I crave savory food then too which is extremely unusual for me. I was watching cooking videos on corn chowder and beef barley stew after I woke up today and my mouth was watering. I think it has something to do with my hormones and internal clock stabilizing from the caffeine cessation.
I did this workout when I woke up. It really worked me out, even tho, most of the time I was trying to catch up with him and I was basically moving in place, poking fingers in my eyes and move my hands in a nonsense way.
I also have a 50 min upper body workout scheduled for later. This one: https://www.fitnessblender.com/video...perset-workout

I'm still doing good; working out regularly and not drinking coffee. Totally fell off of meditating and waking up early; I stayed out late on Daylight Savings Time so I ended up sleeping in late the next day and ever since then I keep waking up between 9-10am, I miss waking up before 8am and having workouts done by noon. I could just set my alarm earlier but without coffee I'm going to be really unproductive and tired, I think I'm just gonna start setting my alarm for ten minutes earlier every day.
Maybe set your alarm earlier and just drink coffee for the first 3 or 4 days, until you're used to getting up early, unless you think it would be really hard to stop drinking coffee after 3 or 4 days. Just a suggestion.
Finally started working out again, I'm going to try to work out 3 times a week and I'll probably do it in the mornings to make sure I get it done, like I did today.
3 Weeks ago I was seeing great results with my workout routines. I dropped the intermittent fasting and now I am all bloated, constipated, heavy and lazy. And gained back the 3 pounds I lost. In 3 weeks. After it took me 2 months to lose them. Fuck me and my short height that makes me gain 2 pounds only if I lick a slice of cake.
I haven't worked out in 3 days, I am on period too, but I got back to IF and will also workout tomorow.
