Getting Back to It

Hello again fellow bloggers/bloggees (what I would assume one would call a person who reads blogs). This week has been super hectic. Which was followed by a great weekend. So, after a very fun-filled/lazy weekend, I finally got back to the gym today. This is what my gym time looked like today:

1 Hour CX Worx

30 minutes BodyPump

5 km run/walk

For a total of 1165 calories burned according to MyNetDiary.

How accurate this number actually is, is beyond my skill set, but seeing such an insane number pumps me up, and motivates me to keep going. Make sure that if you are burning high amounts of calories, you're eating enough to maintain your ideal net calories. 

Since I mentioned it in this post, I would like to add, that MyNetDiary is amazing at keeping count of my daily caloric intake. I've used it for as long as I've been trying to work out and it really has helped me keep track of my calories among other things. I find that I do way better at eating the right amounts of certain foods when I follow the suggestions of the calorie counter. Check it out or something similar to help you keep on top of your goals. The one I have is a free app for iPhone, but there are plenty of options out there that will fit your lifestyle. 

Like I've mentioned before, I'm trying to run at least 20km a week, which usually means I have to run almost every day, which I love! But after a crazy running week last week, it was hard to keep going today. I had to slow down to a walk a few times, because I was scared to pull a muscle. I'm not even going to go into my knee issues. I took it slow, and got to 5km eventually. I always feel a little tense and stiff when I start working out, because obviously my muscles need time to warm up, but once I'm in the groove, I feel almost unstoppable. I say almost, because sometimes being truly unstoppable is just unattainable. It doesn't mean you can't still feel good/on top of the world at your own pace. 

I want to get a good stretching regime in place after I run. I also love those foam rollers lately. I used the ones from school and it really feel like it's massaging my muscles. It hurts a little, but it's a good hurt. It lessens the tightness of my leg muscles and its supposed to improve recovery time. 

That's it for now my bloggees! Now time to get back to Breaking Bad and my comfy bed.

Through thick & thin,
