(early) Week 5

I think I pushed myself too hard yesterday, because I felt like throwing up after a while, but it was nice to walk/jog.
I concentrated on weights today.. and it was painful. I got frustrated because I couldn't feel the tension on the places I needed the tension, but my friend said I might feel it tomorrow morning, so I'm quite worried about that...
The plan is working well, I don't even really need to punish myself. I look forward to these exercises because it is quite fun to have legs that feels like jello after working out a while...
The burning sensation in the lungs are quite fun, and I love feeling all tense after working out.
It is painful, but I feel like I have pushed my limits to gain something higher.
OH! and thank you everyone for worrying about my cut. I'm fine now, I don't really feel pain anymore.
I decided to add a positive reinforcement. I shall take a bubble bath on a Sunday after I work out, but only if I exercised at least 3 days in that week. I love taking baths, especially bubble baths. I took a bubble bath today and realized that if I have something to look forward to, I will enjoy exercising even more!

I shall update more on Week 5 later~

  1. The bubble bath is a great idea for a reward! I am trying to exercise more too, but I find that my "reward" isn't really motivating, and I think you helped me figure out why. I need a reward that is immediate., as in right after or the day of my work out. I think I'll try that.Thanks- your blog really helped me!

  2. Hi Iuri,
    It is nice to know that your cut have healed, and that now you can continue with your plan as designed in the begining. In the same way as Bethany, I think that it is such a great idea adding the buble bath as a reinforcement, I love baths too. I think that definitely you are showing progres in changing your behavior, so keep up the good work!
