When I Started Working Out…

When I started working out…

  • I lifted baby weights and never significantly increased it.
  • I did too much cardio. I was more scrawny than lean.
  • I use to be an Elliptical queen.
  • I never went to the gym with a plan.
  • I use to go during off hours because I didn’t feel confident at the gym.
  • I use to avoid the free weights area because I didn’t know what to do. I would only do cardio and maybe a couple of weight machines.
  • I would literally bring one of my 1000+paged fantasy trilogy novels and read it while “sweating” it out on a cardio machine.  I was definitely not working out hard enough.
  • I would have a great workout in the morning (usually 30 minutes on the Elliptical and some weight machines with light weights) and then I would reward myself with a big breakfast of hash browns and the my favorite breakfast wrap at my company’s cafeteria. These days, I still eat hash browns and breakfast wraps but I deserve it more now than I did back then because my workouts are much more intense.

Looking back at my fitness-self then and now, I’ve definitely come a long way. I lift heavy, I reduced my cardio and mainly do HIIT, I have a nice variety in my workouts, I push hard every session and I have 100% confidence in the gym. We all had to start somewhere!

What were some things you did when you started working out that you wouldn’t do now?

Super old poser hiking photo. Wish I took more #selfies back then so I would have content for my blog now.
