Lately I feel like I need more. Remember when I mentioned my ADD when it comes to exercising? I get bored doing the same things over and over. So, we got a 30-day pass to a local gym. They have an amazing child care center that will only cost $15 per month so that I don't have to rely on family to watch the boys for me. FYI: I have a very difficult time asking people to watch my boys for me. I don't know why, I just feel like I'm being a burden. Anyway, today was my first day and so far, so good. The boys did amazing and could care less that I left them in the child care area, all they cared about was the fact that there were about a hundred toys that they had never seen before, and only about five kiddos, including them, to go around! Heaven! Today was my half-hour run (yeah, it's now 30 minutes, instead of 25!) but I didn't want to just run, so I did some strength-training. Which I loved! So much better than standing in front of my TV and screaming at Jillian in my head (and not out loud) so that people won't think I'm crazy. Then, I moved onto my run. This was my first time ever running on a treadmill. It was not easy hard! It's going to take some getting used to, but I know that if I hang in there, I'll get used to it. :)
Oh, and this is my third week of training! Yeah for committing to, and sticking to (that's the big part!), getting healthy!
I feel the same way about asking people to watch logan too :). What gym did you join? I worked out at ballys yesterday and it was amazing! Ive had this membership for almost a year and barely use it (and child care is included in the cost- i just cant bring myself to leave logan there yet) And tredmil running will get easier! I ran yesterday and it was perfect cause i had a fan blowing right on my face :) Your doing a great job Ashley!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you, Ashley! And weights before running? You're like an old pro! (AND training in the right order!) Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteOh i so agree. Treadmill running is so hard! When I trained for my half marathon, I had to do a lot of training runs on the treadmill and I thought I was going to DIE!! Good luck!! Congrats on keeping with it!
