Rowing Champ ~ Training Days 4 & 5

On the plan I am following currently yesterday was technically supposed to be a rest day for me.

However, after talking to some of my amazing healthy and fitness experts, I decided to do cross training instead.

I figure that once my miles pickup towards the end I will stick to the two rest days instead of just the one.

It's hard y'all.

I HATE TO REST.

I never thought I would say that.

I know they are extremely important, but once you are in a routine, it is hard to get out of it.

I am just basing everything right now solely off of how my body feels.

I FEEL GREAT!

Yesterday I did a 360 class and a rowing class at Planet Fitness.

I gave a whole new definition to swamp ass.

I am not sure I have sweat that much in a LONG time.

I also say this after every workout...

LOL!

This morning I ran the fastest mile I have to date with my Beast Mode Trainer Jess.

9:56 seconds.

WTF!

Y'all I am slower than a herd of turtles running through peanut butter...

For the mile I would say it wasn't too bad but when I do more miles that pace would not be feasible.
We then walked a lap around the gym, then did a 2 lap running warm up, a Dirty Dozen ab/arm workout, and then walked almost two miles afterwards.

**Me sitting in my car in my driveway refusing to get out**

I won't lie.

I am supposed to do 4 miles either tomorrow or Sunday.

My head is really messing with me right now.

I keep thinking about how hard it is for me to run still.

This is not easy.

Some days even one mile seems daunting.

And I am going to be running 13.1 miles?

I know I need to let it go but sometimes these things can tend to be easier said than done.

At this point my ultimate goal is to cross the finish line.

I am not focused on the logistics.

I don't care about a time.

I just simply want to finish.

And finish is what I intend to do...

PS I am joining an online Facebook Group Challenge that is running July 31st through September 11th (my 32nd birthday)!!!

It is macro based and I have seen results first hand and they are amazing!

If you are interested find me on Facebook and shoot me a message TODAY!

Here are my personal results from carb cycling which has been amazing as well.

From 2/1/17 ~ Present

Inches Lost~
RA - 2 1/2 inches 
LA - 2 inches 
Chest - 6 inches 😒😒😒
Waist - 11 inches 😳😳😳
Hips - 5 inches 
LL - 5 1/2 inches 
RL - 4 1/2 inches 

I just feel like I need something to switch things up and I feel like macros are going to be exactly what I need.

A new challenge.

I would love to have YOU along for the ride :)
