So Far, So Good!

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well and enjoying your week so far!

Today I am going to tell you how Monday and today went.

Monday:

Monday was a great day! It was the start of my new workout routine and also of my first week drinking only water. I did crave my diet soft drinks and daily energy drink but I knew I had to push through. It was tougher in the morning because I always start the day off with a sugar free or lo card energy drink. Without the caffiene it was definitely tough.

My workout routine was great! I was a little sore from the 3.1 Mile run I did for the fitness assessment but a good warm-up really eased the tightness in my legs away.

My warm-up is the main focus this week. I started by jogging for 4 minutes. I started jogging at 6.0 MPH and went up .3MPH every 1/10 of a mile.

My dynamic stretches helped loosen up all the major muscle groups. I followed up the dynamic stretching with a basic strength program (Explained in my previous post[The first healthy habits]). The workout went well and I cooled down and went home.

Tuesday:

Today I was a little more sore but still excited about the healthy habits I am starting to form.

As far as the "Water only" its been tough. It is only the second day so I know it will be hard to get rid of 20+ years of soft drinks and 5+ years of energy drinks. I had a little bit of a headache from no caffiene but I pushed through and felt good for not giving it. Its only day two after all!

The workout was great. My legs are a lot tighter but I am really enjoying my regular workouts.

Todays warm-up was a jog starting at 6.5 MPH and going up .2 MPH every 1/10 of a mile! The rest of the workout went off without a hitch.

I hope your workouts and healthy habits are going well! Remember, its a marathon, not a sprint. Dont give up and keep up the great work!
