So, I have now completed my first week of the gym and even though you cannot see results yet, I can already feel progress.
Monday night I only burnt about 120 calories, then Wednesday I only burnt 260 calories but Friday was the best night of the week because I burnt 410 calories. I could have done more but I was practically being dragged out of the gym by my boyfriend. But the bottom line is I can already feel myself pushing my body harder and I like it.
I can easily say I've never loved sweating so much in my life and the day-after muscle ache is glorious. I'm so excited to continue my progress and start to see the results.
At the moment I go with my boyfriend Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's but today I talked my mum into joining my gym so now I'll be going 4 days a week instead of 3. I'm even considering going once a week on my own as well, That means I'll still get 2 rest days a week and that's definitely enough.
The only thing I'm struggling with is giving up certain foods and portion control. I've always had really big portions - which is my main problem. The past week I have cut down my portions but I still need to cut them down more and I've been reading blogs to try and give myself tips on how to help myself do this but nothing has really helped so far which really sucks.
Well done on finishing your first week, here's to many more :)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried drinking water when you have a meal? I have heard that is supposed to help you cut down your portion size or something as it fills you up.
Thank you again :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard that but I've never actually tried it because my problem is I don't like leaving stuff on my plate so I wait until after my meal to drink the water which kind of defeats the object :')
