Christmas Eve!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas Eve!

 

Today was pretty eventful. Signed up for this personal workout schedule with some friends, where we workout twice a day for a minimum of 2 and a half hours. Woke up early this morning and completed 3.5 miles of running. I realized after 3 cycles that running at a zero incline doesn't really benefit me physically. Granted it helps me increase my stamina, but I also want to see actual growth. Today at the gym, I began increasing the incline on the treadmill and also increased the speed. Can honestly say that I can't feel my legs at all! But, I'm confident that by the end of the cycle, there will be some physical progress. Also knocked out half of my physical requirements and then went for a second workout at 6pm to complete the rest.

For the new year, I want to try and make myself a healthy meal plan which I can follow and stay consistent with my protein and carb intake. As a vegetarian, it's gonna be a tad bit difficult but I'm determined to make it work.

After organizing my requirements that I need for the cycle, I was able to leave Sunday to be my rest day. Those days will be reserved for studying the written test and completing my essays. 

Hope everyone enjoys their Christmas with their friends and family!
