Back at it

Today was my first day back at the gym. Well, not my very first day...
I have been to the gym here and there, but today was my first day pushing myself at the gym, instead of taking a little stroll on the treadmill.

My workout today was speed walking on the treadmill uphill for 30 minutes. Then my lower body weight workout for 20 minutes. I did 20 squats holding 10lb dumbbell's in each hand, 20 lunges, 20 side lunges, and 20 ballerina squats (squatting down with toes pointed out). I was shaking after this short weight workout! Wow, I am out of shape! But hey, you have to start somewhere. I feel good about my workout today. I instantly had better energy, and felt empowered.

After the gym I went grocery shopping, went home and made a healthy dinner with lots of veggies!!

I'm excited for whatever the gym has in store for me tomorrow, (upper body) yikes!

Happy workouts!
