Day 65 / Week 10 - Breaking Up My Workout

Surprise, surprise.....another BBQ at work. This time it was a little bit easier to dodge the burgers and sausages as I waited till the chicken and salmon kabobs were done. Thank goodness they offered a healthier option even though the samosas were staring at me and my colleague next to me "inhaled" 3 of them down in less than a minute. I kept strong though, I kept strong. =)

As for my workout this evening, I came home pretty late. So instead of postponing my whole workout for a later time(or worse yet - miss it totally), I used the 40 min that I had available to work on weight training and cardio. Drank my whey protein as usual after the 40 min workout and 2 hours later (after my errands), I came back, finished the remaining 20 min (which was to work on abs) then ate dinner.

So, what did I learn from all this? I learned of how to utilize time wisely. Since I knew that I had the potential of totally missing the workout altogether, I made sure that I used whatever time I had at the moment, before heading to my errands. I also even planned it accordingly with my eating schedule - which was good. (pat on the back for me) =) If you are starting a workout routine for the 1st time(or struggling with your current routine), try to reserve at least 1.5 hours for your workout days(3, 4, 5 or 6 times a week) and try to select times and days that you are least busy.

As an example, on Monday's and Tuesday's I workout in the morning because I have no work, but for the rest of the week, I do. So I make time in the evening to ensure that I still fulfill my commitments. If however something comes up in the evening, I will try to make an effort to put in at least 30 min (even if I have to workout at 10pm). So what else did I learn? I have learned that every minute counts. If you want results, you cannot rob your body from time in the gym or you will never reach your goals. Every minute counts. Every minute.

Day 11 Week 2 - A perfect example of sacrafice and rescheduling your workouts.

Today was unbelievable. I didn't think I was going to make it into the gym today. I finally got home at 7:30pm and knowing that not only did I just miss a meal, I still have to eat my dinner before 8 and still reach the gym. So I made something quick and let it digest for about 1.5 hours. I reached the gym for 9:30pm and came out at 10:30pm. This would be the 1st time me going to the gym this late. Surprisingly, there was quite a few people in there too... Anyhow, the sense of accomplishment was well worth the effort and boy did it feel soooo goood coming out! I believe it's going to be moments like these that I will reflect on - reminding me of the sacrifice and hard work that I'm pushing each day.
