Small workout.

I still take these everyday.
I can actually tell that my
metabolism is speeding up.
I have more energy after I eat,
instead of feeling lazy and tired.
It also helps to eat a salad instead
of a fatass burger. ;)

I really want to do yoga. However, watching videos and trying to mimick the movements on a smart phone is quite difficult. I decided to just do a light workout tonight.

I stretched and loosened up my muscles. And since I'm most concerned with my upper body, that's what I focused on. I lifted my pink, 2lb dumbbell over my head with my right arm and stretched it over to the left side, bending/crunching to the left. In order for my abs to feel the effects, I controlled my breathing: in as I pulled the weight down to the right, and out as I crunched to the opposite side. Keeping my stomach muscles tightened is what made the workout worth doing. (Switch sides and repeat.) The thing I do differently than most people is I don't count. I know that when I count reps or sets, I'll eventually just be going through the motions, counting down and hoping to get it over with. If I just go until I feel a burn, then go a little more, I won't get tired of trying to meet a goal each time. I pretty much just do what I want.

I finished off the night with some easy crunches. I think women are supposed to have thick figures. I can love my thighs and booty as long as my stomach is flat and my arms don't flap.

That was today's workout. I work a late shift tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.

Also, I think I should update with a new picture every week. That should help me see any progress I'm making. :)
