So I got my email & 'welcome' workout from Julia this morning. Since all I have are dumbbells and an exercise ball to work with at home for my resistance training, it took awhile to modify the workout 'assigned' to me with the alternates she had suggested. I really need to have that structure of knowing what I need to do ahead of time, so having the workout on paper was important to me to get started. I was kinda bummed that I had to go thru all that work to 're-create' my workout. I guess I thought GHF was going to do that for me? I'm going to have to do that now for each week of my weight training, so am not super happy about having to put the extra time into that when my time is already so tight :-( I'm sure it will get easier as I adapt and learn, but right now, for some reason, that piece of it is a little discouraging. You definitely have a lot of reading to do with this program! Not that I mind the reading so much; I love all the content, I just stress a little bit about finding the time! Does anyone hear a common 'theme' here? :-) Time, time, time. Hmmmm, maybe I need to just quit worrying about it and just do what I can do when I can do it. I did get a some good cardio in last night. 50 minutes of interval walk/run/incline work. I have my treadmill in the garage with a TV and DVR, so record my shows and watch while I workout. Last night I watched part of a 2 hour premier, so ended up working out for 50 minutes rather than 30 or 40 as is my norm! Sounds lame, but having that TV there really helps me unwind and get into my workout and not dread it so much. By the time I'm about 10-15 minutes into it, I've relaxed and found my workout mojo. So, I've decided to start Julia's workout routine tomorrow morning - maybe tonight; I just feel tired as I havent been sleeping well due to some back pain. Not sure about the diet plan part of all this, but get the impression I'm supposed to email someone for that? Things are a little confusing right now.
