Day 9
I wake up every morning not wanting to get out of bed but instead wishing to "accidentally" fall back asleep. However I must be consistent, I must push myself to get up, I must challenge myself in order to better myself. I'm at day 9 and I haven't missed a planned workout yet! On a new and challenging lifestyle I must remember to always reflect on the small improvements and efforts rather than beating myself up for not being able to do what other people can. I must remember to see how far i've come and not how long I have left to go - because really, there is no end destination in this journey.Workout

400m run

As many push ups until time (I think I did about 40 all together... I forgot to count! I was too focused on not falling flat on my face during the press up)
Out of the 3 runs, I jogged two rounds with a short sprint at the end and no walking breaks! I also performed most of my push ups on my toes. Even though I don't feel as "sore" as I did last week, I feel as if i've accomplished more today. I'm proud of myself with the 400m runs!! Baby steps until i'm fit and lean hehehehehe (5 days until my first official 5 km race! Eek, I don't even think I can run 1 km yet, but i'll see how I go with the time and will try to beat it next year!)

I had training to be a junior high school English tutor from 11AM-3PM then I taught my usual (grade 6) class from 4.30-8PM. Yep long ass day. And now i'm pooped.
P.S. my July GoodnessMe box came in! Yippeeeeeee - I shall share a quick product review after trying them out. I'm so excited though because I received Your Tea's Happy tea in this month's box! I've been wanting to try Your Tea for SO long; they're organic herbal teas filled with no nasties.
