Exercise
Today was cardio but I wanted to do just an increase of time on the bike, 1 circuit of weights and then 30 minutes swimming.
I did all those and felt really good afterwards.
The bike was a strain at first because my mind was everywhere but where it should have been during the first 15 minutes but I got it together for the last 15 minutes and didn’t stop once. I’ve started to do quick 1 minute bursts (giving it all I have) then slowing down for the next minute. This is supposed to be good for fat burning cardio.
I cycled on level five for 45 minutes and my cal burn was 575.
I want to get that up to 600 straight at the same endurance.
This month I’m meeting with my fabulous photographer friend, Rachel Spivey to do press pictures so that has given me even more to drive for.
My diet sounds boring but honestly I am not missing burgers and take-outs. My mind is in the zone and I’m not giving in.
I can’t coach people to achieve big life changing goals if I can’t even achieve my own. So that’s all there is to it. I’m a fearless warrior right now. I really feel that.
