I was really proud, because I managed to close my Apple Watch rings 5 out of 7 days this week. Although not perfect, this was a major turn around from previous weeks. I barely was meeting my calorie goal before, and this week I exceeded it most days. I also was making sure to walk, even on colder days, through my town. Most days I did at least two miles, but a couple days I hit the four mile mark! I really never felt like doing it because it’s, obviously, winter and, therefore, cold. BUT I did – and that makes me, already, a lot happier.
Shoes are by J.Crew! Absolutely love them – the navy and rose gold combo is perfect!
The first day, I pushed myself probably a little too hard. I did a two mile walk with Jake, and then also did intervals of push ups, crunches, and lunges. This is something I used to be able to do pretty well back when I had to do work out club for acting, and I really want to start feeling stronger. I managed to do those intervals a couple more days throughout the week, which made me feel unbelievably sore, but also really good! Friday was sorta my first “fail” day. I managed to exceed my active calorie goal, but did not achieve the amount of minutes that counts as “exercise” on my Apple Watch, so that was a bummer. But, I’m letting myself relax on this Sunday and take a break from working out. But I will be right back at it tomorrow!
Already, I think exercising more frequently has been helping me feel more positive. It also really helps to be doing it along side Caley, because I have a friend that is helping me motivate myself to move!
