Today was the most intense work out so far! I went over to my friend's house again to do some more strength training. We started out with a 400-meter warm-up run then worked on our handstands. I was nervous at first because I wasn't able to do one by myself the other day, but today I tried again aaannndddd I DID IT! All. By. Myself. The first time I got up I was so excited that I immediately put my feet back down to celebrate my success with my friends, Sydney and Katelyn. It took me a couple tries to get back up, but once I did, I was able to hold it for a good amount of time. I was so proud of myself!
Then we started the real work-out. We did 15 push-ups, 20 hip thrusters (If you aren't familiar with them, here's the link to a demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41HBcDMzzSU), and 30 overhead squats with 10 lb. weights. One set contained 15 push-ups, 20 hip thrusters, and 30 overhead squats. We had a timer set to 25 minutes but had to try and complete 5 sets within that time period. I was able to complete 4 sets plus 7 push-ups! My goal is to complete 5 within 25 minutes next time.
After our work-out I went for a quick run. At that point my body was a little shaky from all the exercises we did earlier, so I kept it at a mile.
I'm not a huge fan of posting what I eat throughout the day, but writing it for the public to see helps me stay dedicated to eating a little healthier. Again, I'm not going to cut out all fast food, snacks, and other yummy things, but I am going to eat them in moderation. Without further ado, here's the food I ate today:
-two eggs
-lentil soup with bread and butter
-half a slice of pizza (I might have eaten more, but I wasn't hungry because I was offered pizza right after I ate lunch)
-Korean seaweed soup, rice, fish, and potato salad
If you're reading this, thanks for reading! It means a lot to me! In fact, I have a present for you. Here's a hilarious scene from one of my favorite shows, New Girl
