Chillout day..

After my last workout( 300 sit-ups and 50 push-ups) my abs were so soar that it hurt to laugh and sneeze. It sucked, but the pain let me know the I had gained something out of my workout. I can't imagine doing the same workout for at least another day. Today I am not going to workout because I have to go to work shortly and am just tired overall. I hope to get a nice jog in after work this evening if not tomorrow. As far as biting my nails goes, I am guilty of doing so once today already and do not plan on doing it anymore today. With finals and summer on my mind, I am destined to bite a little bit but I will try my hardest not to. Besides, I really will not be biting them at work because that is unhealthy as it gets and I have been striving for good health ever since I started to turn my bad habit into good ones. Peace for today. Jo-E

Sit-ups+Push-ups..

Today I needed to step up my workout session a bit being that I slacked off entirely from a much needed workout. I proceeded to do 300 sit-ups and 50 push-ups. It was not too hard and only took me about half an hour but man do I feel refreshed! Yesterday I found it extremely hard not to bite my nails when I didn't workout. I was guilty of biting them a few times yesterday so today I will try my hardest not to bite them at all. So far I've succeeded at this. Also, I've been trying to overdose on the water. I really want to be hydrated after my workouts and just all day in general. I believe this will keep my health up.

The Struggle...

Man is it hard not to bite my nails. Workouts or not, the struggle to resist the nail biting seems to get a bit harder every day that I don't keep myself occupied. That is, when I fail to work out, I find myself a bit more likely to chomp away. I don't really find it neccessary to work out more than four times a week so what about those other three days then? Well today is one of those three and let me tell you I've caught myself attempting to bite away. Although I've resisted so far( Every time my fingers went into my mouth, I instantly pulled them away) the fact is that the temptation is staring me in my face like a gun to an outlaw criminal. It is simply the struggle to shake my very bad habit. It is just there. Resisting is pretty hard, but so far I am successful in resisting. I want my nails to be longer right now. That is the key. Holla...

Good Habits...

Today will be a pretty laid back day, in that I will take my work-out easier than that of my previous. Today, I will run one mile and walk the other one. I figured I'd get the run out and then walk a sort of reflective mile just to reflect on all the good that I've acheived on my journey to vanishing my bad habit. Overall, I'd say i've been doing pretty well on avoiding the nail biting scenario. Today I don't have to work and plan heavily on getting caught up in this 220 course. I am the publisher for my work group and must post to UNMGOBLOGURSELF.

Consistency is key..

Today, I realized that my goals for shaking my bad habit weren't too consistent and that is why I would go a day working out and the next would be a bland nail biting day. So that said, today I will be consistent and continue my work-out sessions. Today, I plan on doing 100 push-ups and 300 sit-ups. It's been quite some time since I've done push-ups but I'm gonna try to break them into sections of 30 in between every hundred sit-ups. After I write this I will follow through with my goal and just do it. P.S. I haven't bit my nails yet today.

2 miles today...

I followed through with my goals today and ran a complete two miles only stopping once in between the miles. I didn't stop for too long only giving myself some time to catch a breath. It was a pretty intense to me because I am only now getting back into shape. It was very challenging and it helped me have more energy until it was time for bed. I resisted biting my nails all day long which made me feel like I could really shake the habit. It was a great inspirational jog in that I felt like I could really get back into shape and feel good about my body. Great day for my bad habit.

Bad Nerves...

Today was not so good for me and my bad habit, it seems like my nerves got the best of my today. I think its because of the semester coming to what seems to be an extremely fast hault. With finals, spring/summer, and all the other distractions on my mind, today I bit my nails a little too much. In addition, I didn't squeeze in any work-out. In a sense I failed myself with my bad habit today. I had to work this evening until about 10:30 pm and after that I was just lazy. One thing that my previous work-outs helped out on was supplying me with enough energy to last until the night, but today it seems I was lazy almost the whole evening. I lacked that work-out that would've given me that extra umph I needed to be more productive throughout the evening time. I need that energy in the evening in order to work at my job more effeciently. I now realize how important working out is in my life. Tomorrow I will try to run two miles, increasing each mile run by a half of a mile.
