Met my best friend at the gym at 630am like we do most days of the week. We debated what we should do, and settled on shoulders (it is tank top season after all). We did 5 different exercises ranging from 3 sets to 4 sets, and 10 reps each.
*as a note, if you are reading and thinking you might be able to do some routines that I do, or pick up some tips on workouts and weightlifting, this is the wrong place for that. I barely knew anything about weight lifting. I know nothing about science or muscle names, and I heavily rely on the bestie to help come up with the routines.
At the end of the routine, it was about 45 minutes in, and I had to get to work. I knew I committed to doing cardio, but this morning that was not an option timewise. Luckily, my afternoon at work cleared up meeting wise and I was able to leave the office around 5. While mentally I was not in the mood to go BACK to the gym and do cardio, I knew it was needed if this was going to be my first day.
So I went to the gym closest to my house and did 20 minutes of sprint cardio on the stairmaster (3 minute warmup, alternate between 1 minute at full speed and 2 minutes at warmup speed until your time is up. A trainer taught me one time that alternating between steady state cardio some days and sprints is a good way to make sure you don't plateau. That could be bullshit for all I know, but I usually try and do sprints when I'm less motivated cause you do more in less time.
As for eating. I left about a third of my meal on the plate at lunch, and at dinner I just made sure that I had the appropriate portion size. I also tracked all of it on the food diary app.
All in all, day one, complete, all goals accomplished. Feeling good.
