Yesterday: I ate exactly according to the plan. Even with greg baking cookies at night--i refrained! go me! And i went to the gym and did my run before bootcamp at 5. I wanted to really push myself on the sprint parts--especially since i can not WALK during the recovery :-)
I did my warm up, and then started my 8 sprints at 9.0 for the first 4 sets. I said, i think i can push myself more. I upped it to 9.5 for the next 3 sets. On the last set i went for 10.0 (6 min/mi) and actually completed it! Granted its only for 30 seconds, but still! I wanted to know how fast 10.0 on the treadmill was actually going to be, in order to decide if i could do more sets that just one at 10.0 I can do it! (more on that in tomorrows update!)
After running i went to bootcamp and while i felt tired, i still think i got a good work out in for the most part.
So how can i feel so good yesterday and then today, feel like i have completely lost my motivation?? I ate perfectly, had a snack while I rushed to boot after soccer but was still totally out of it. Picking up light weights, breaking regularly, and just all around bummin around at class. I couldn't snap out of it! I'm sure that my days being so long, when i'm used to get my work out in the morning isn't helping. But since i started Boot i never really gave in to excuses. So why now? Whats happened to me?
There is still 3.5 weeks left in this challenge and i want to win (whatever the prize is i don't care--as long as its mine lol). But how can i shake this!? Suggestions welcome PLEASE!!!!
Get ur mind thinking positively...the body does what mind thinks....
ReplyDeleteKelley, How do you do your sprint workouts? I should really incorporate sprinting into my regimen. So you do a warm up mile, than eight 30 second sprints. How long is your recovery in between each burst? And you said you walk at 3.0 for that? Then finish with a cool down mile?
