Day 1

I am back.  What a crazy few weeks it has been.

They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit.  So this is day 1.

I have decided to do some high intensity interval training.  I started this morning.  I have to say I enjoyed it and wanted to do more but I need to start off gradually.

I did three 30 second cycles of high intensity exercise with 1.5 minutes recovery.  I will do this 3x/week, with 2 days of strength training on top of 5 weekly yoga classes.  After a few weeks I will increase it to 40 seconds, then 50 then 1 minute, and once comfortable with that increase to 4, then 5, then 6 sets.  I am hoping this will bring me faster results.

I also will create a food and exercise journal noting
the time I exercised
where I exercised
how long I exercised
what type of exercise I did
 how hard I felt I exercised
whether I exercised with others or by myself
my emotions when I exercised
the time I ate
the food I ate
the amount of food I ate
how the food was prepared
how hungry I was when I ate
where I ate
my emotions when I ate
what time I went to sleep
how long I slept
and my stress level

I am feeling so grateful to have my finances in shape and now I need the body to follow.
