as usual, i went to the gym yesterday (i see to it that i go there 5X a week because i have so much to lose) after i picked up the little girl from school in the afternoon.
for a change, i did not just do cardio and weights but tried the sauna as well! i didn't stay long in the sauna, though. just 10 minutes for this first-timer. for the first time too, i did 1 hour of cardio exercise broken down as follows:
30 minutes (cardio setting) treadmill exercise
weight-training (arms and abs)
30 minutes (manual setting, incline of 3 and speed of 6) treadmill exercise
i plan to do the post-weights cardio exercise from now on.
i spoke to the gym's senior trainer about feeling sad that after 2 weeks in the gym i only lost 2 pounds. she told me not to worry about it because sometimes, the loss could only really be 2 pounds in one month. she "pacified" me by telling me to just exercise CONSISTENTLY without also having to be too hard on myself that exercise becomes a burden.
yesterday was also a different kind of day because i had 2 servings of broccoli for lunch! if you know me so well, this is something! an achievement! :-) i resolve to have at least 2 servings of veggies everyday.
