Caribana Countdown
Ok yall its time to get serious. Its gonna be soon time to Jump up in Toronto Canada as August is only a couple months away. So while talkin to one of my new found friends Ms. L about Caribana, i've come to terms with myself that its time to really kick this health stuff to the next level. I mean I haven't been slackin in the Gym THAT MUCH but I'm not giving my full potential to what I could be doing either.
So this weekend I made a pact with myself, my sister and mother (since we are all members of the same gym) to keep on each other to get us and keep us motivated in the Gym. and hearing of my Girl Bklyndiva recent gym success story and acomplishments its just makin me even more motivated. so with that said I was in they Gym Sunday morning and again Lastnite.
I left work at my normal time (Goodbye Overtime it was fun while it lasted) and took my behind to the gym, and had my gear in the truck so I wouldn't be sidetracked into staying home if I went there. I get into the gym shortly after my mother and she was heading for the cardio room for aerobics. I jump on the treadmill to warm up. a 15 min 1 mile walk as i'm waiting for the elipitcal machine. I hop off as one opens up and I hop on. put on the headphones and start going at it. about 20 minutes later my sister comes into the gym and an eliptical opens up beside me and we start going stride for stride. she looks over and sees i've been on for 20 mins now and says oh I gotta catch up and speeds up her pace. I laugh and match her speed. we are bout doing about 7 mphs. (whoi the sweat started pouring and my legs are burning now)
so now I am at the 45 min mark going strong determined to make it to my 60 minute goal... not really tired anymore and out appears mom from her cardio class and the machine on the otherside of me opens up so she hops on. it was too funny to see my sister, me and my mom side by side strolling along on eliptical machines.
I make it to my 60 minutes. GINGERLY get off the machine with my legs feeling like rubber and hit the weights
