I’m feeling good. Doing the Master Cleanse gave me some much needed energy and pep in my step. I’m just starting to wish I had maybe started working out when I first started my cleanse. Anywho, no time like the present aye.
So yesterday, I told myself I was going to do the C25K (couch to 5k) workout program. I didn’t. In my opinion i did slightly better than what I sought out. I jogged at 6.0 for almost 7min before walking for another 5min at 5.0.
I had to take a short break for an important phone call, but jumped back onto 6.0 but this time for only like 3min. I got uncomfy since there were now like 6 men in there. I prefer to workout alone.
After getting home, I had a nice bowl of my veggie soup. It’s almost gone, and I am so sad lol. I love that stuff!
I was on youtube yesterday, and came across a brother named Ahmad who is a personal trainer. I watched some of his videos and made a mental note of the great reception and following he is receiving from some of the youtubers. That reminds me…he has a blog on here. So I need to add him to the blog roll. Anyway, I added a couple of his videos as my favorite. Since my heart is still pumping strong, I think I may do a couple of his vids today.
Day 2: I woke up and hit the gym at 10:45am. I popped 600mg of green tea, and 450mg of Cayenne Pepper. Both are natural fat burners. I got hip to that some months ago in one of my Muscle & Fitness Hers magazines. I love that magazine!
Anywho, I got on the treadmill for 20min for “fat burning” Actually it wasnt’ to bad. I could’ve kept going, but my tummy wasn’t feeling it. That’s my fault though. My tummy was jumping around the pills I had just popped so she wasn’t to happy. So come tomorrow, I plan to take my fat burners at least 1hr earlier than my workout.
I have 3 weeks to get my body at least somewhat prepped for basic. For my age group, I must be able to do the following
- 2 mile: 19:36/15:36 minutes
- Push-ups: 17/46
- Sit-Ups: 50/80
For the pushups and situps, that has to be done in 2min. Those are the minimum/maximum standards for the U.S. Army
I made a half-assed attempt at situps yesterday. I did like 23 in a minute. Not bad imo considering I haven’t done an actual sit up since elementary school lol (I’m more of a crunches kinda girl) The push-ups are gonna need alot of work though. I gave up after 4. So situps/pushup training shall be a daily thing.
I plan to workout every day for the next 3 weeks. I’m relentless
