Monday: Cardio (Hello 2025!)

Well... here we are! New year, new me? Today i wanted to do a leg day combined with cardio. Cause my new gym buddy and i have decided that every Monday we will do a cardio day. My thought was to first do a leg day at home and then finish the day with an extensive hour of cardio, but i wasn't feeling it today. At first i was supposed to have an appointment in the morning that got canceled so i fell back asleep and then i got up too late to do a leg day. I have now promised myself to do a leg day on Wednesday.

The gym today went pretty well although i felt the most tired i have felt in a while. I think that's because i haven't been taking my vitamins... i realized i had an energy dip already last week so i have been taking my vitamins again so i hope i will feel better soon.

For cardio we usually do a 10-15 minute warmup on the treadmill, followed by 10 minutes of extensive cross trainer, then 5-10 minutes on treadmill to cooldown and then 10 minutes on the stairmaster. The stairmaster kills me every time!!! I sweat like a little pig omg. I kind of want to do more cardio and wish i had a cardio machine at home cause that would make my life so much easier but alas. After that we do like 30-45 minutes on the treadmill. I usually walk a heavy incline that i increase/decrease throughout the minutes. This is like the 3rd week now we have been doing this and i already feel that i am losing some of my excess fat!

I also bought more protein today; new protein powder for my smoothies and also a new clear protein powder, so that's nice. I read somewhere that someone used cold tea to blend with the clear protein (in peach flavor) and i was like "omg that's such a good idea!!!". I think i might even blend mine with hot tea cause i drink so much of it cause it's so gosh darn cold. But we'll see! The package already shipped and i should be getting it tomorrow before i go to the gym.

I am also looking for new gym pants since i mainly wear my oversized sweats but i want more of them cause i hate doing a small wash every time i come home from the gym. I want to be able to do all my washing at once. I think i need to buy more towels as well and maybe some more tops and i'll be good. But the pants are most important. I found an American brand that sells a lot of oversized sweats so i am thinking to buy from there, even though everything seems to be made from polyester... I can't find any proper cotton baggy sweatpants anywhere else though, and when i do it's expensive as hell. I wont pay more than $20 for a pair of sweatpants LOL are you kidding me.

Oh oh oh, and tomorrow when i get up first thing i'll do is vacuum the rug in my living room and then do 100 situps. Let's goooooo.
