Day One of Exercise

I have to start somewhere I guess and today was that day. I felt lazy so skipped a run instead opting to do body weight exercises at home. I'm much happier doing these than going to a gym mostly because it's super convenient as I don't have to drive anywhere. I can just get up, change, and go downstairs. I've accumulated a few bits and pieces of exercise equipment such as weights and a set of equalizer bars so I can do a good workout at home. I've just been too lazy to do anything recently though today was hopefully the day to change all of that.

I got up and had a fattening breakfast so it was about 3 hours after that I decided it was time to do something active. I have decided I want to do one of those stupid glute challenges for 2 months and planned on incorporating that at the end of the workout. It was pretty simple as the online workout was already legs. One leg squats with 10lbs, lunges with shoulder raises with 10lbs per hand, wide squats with a knee touch with 10lbs per hand plus a one leg deadlift with row with 10lbs per hand. That knocked off two of my daily glute exercises so I only had to do the bridges and hamstring curls with the ball after. Didn't take long and it was sad that I could feel my heart rate climbing as high as it did as well as getting a bit puffy from breathing hard.

Lame.

But it's done. For that I must be grateful.

Tomorrow it's a continuation of exercise and starting to control the food. The plan there is to eat mindfully, healthily with reasonable portions until I can stabilize my cravings and binges. It shouldn't take long as I know from experience once I get on a roll it becomes very difficult for me to break that streak.
