Week 12, the final week of this project! This week I ran a mile outside again. It was really nice and I got my time up 45 seconds from where I was the last time. I slacked a little bit this week because I wasn't motivated and forgot about it. I worked out 2 days this week but that is it. One including when I ran. I did my regular workout but a bit more.
It was a really fun time doing this project and I definitely learned a lot while going through this process. I've realized that managing your time is really hard, at least for me. This week I also drank a lot of water. Especially because I ran a mile in the heat which definitely made me thirsty. I haven't had a lot of other drinks in a long time other than lemon water.

Week 11, second to last week! For week eleven I ended up running a mile outside. I haven't ran a whole mile outside in a while and it was worth it. I ran it out of boredom and a little motivation from the other workouts I did this week. I was so happy I ran it because I felt so accomplished afterwords, I know it is something little but I loved it and I will definitely start running outside more! I did the same workouts I do every week but this week I amped up the reps I did.
This week was slightly better than most of the other weeks because I didn't have an overloading amount of homework which gave me more time and cheer is off. We have cheer tryouts soon but because of my hand, which sadly is still broken, I can't do everything but for what I can do I want to work for that. Focusing more on sit ups and running a mile but timing myself for both. Drinking water, during this week I didn't really drink much water, or anything. I don't know why but I wasn't reaching for a drink that much. When I was thirsty I was drinking water with lemons or drinking water with chlorophyll droplets in it. Weeks 9 and 10 I started to run a little bit more than the other weeks. I have been using my elliptical and running however much I have time to. I noticed that I was able to run a little bit more each day but not a lot. These weeks I wasn't as productive as I wish I was but I am glad I still ran. I used the videos I always use by Chloe Ting and I also used my own workouts that included: 50 crunches, 50 oblique twists, 50 toe touch crunches, 100 crunches with my legs leaned to the right for 50 and to the left for the other 50, 50 sit ups, 100 squats. I always stretched before I worked out out so my muscles weren't just going straight into something that active. Cheer tryouts re coming up so I have been doing some workouts that we will need to do for tryouts. That included doing as many sit ups as I Can in 60 seconds to hopefully get more and ore in that time range. We also have to do as many push as we can in 60 seconds but I still cant doing things with my hand because I am not cleared.
Water! I slacked a little but throughout week 10. I drank coffee twice but that's all, other than that I drank water with lemons and limes in it. I have seen a difference with drinking this much water including clearer skin, aiding digestion which i need, and cushioning my joints which is really good because of me working out more than i used to! Welcome to week 8! This week has been very similar to last week. I have been doing the same workouts and I did end up running a little bit which is what I wanted to do. I didn't run outside but i did walk a bit just around my land and my driveway, with my dog. I was not using my app but I would estimate that I or we walked about half a mile. I am not sure if I have said this but when I am working out i like to wear a hoodie or leggings so i sweat more. The more you sweat the better your doing. I have been following the Chloe Tings videos like always and I ran about a mile on the elliptical twice. Here is what I did each day this week. 50 crunches, 50 oblique twists, 50 toe touch crunches, 100 crunches with my legs leaned to the right for 50 and to the left for the other 50, 50 sit ups, 100 squats. I am thinking next week I will add more reps to the things i am doing because i wouldn't say they are getting easier but I am noticing that my body is not getting as much of a workout as I was in the beginning.
Drinking more water: I have been drinking about 2 hydro flasks a day of water and I have noticed my skin has started to clear slightly which wasn't my goal but I am more than happy about it. I have been putting lemons and limes into my water just to add a bit of flavor but to also keep it healthy. Hey everyone so for week 7 I am pretty much just keeping everything the same. I tried a new youtuber but I didn't really like the workouts and the way she did thing so i switched back to Chloe. I really enjoy her videos and workouts so i am sticking to those videos. I worked out about 3 times this week and I am hoping that next week I can have time to go on some walks outside because it has been getting nice out. If not I can just run on the eliptical because I haven't done that this week. For the three days that I worked out this week this is what I did each week.
Okay so for week four there hasn't been much of a change other than i have found a few videos that i for sure want to keep following along with. They are Chloe Ting videos, what i like about her workouts is hey are focused on specific things other than just a whole body workout so you can watch one of her videos for your butt, another on for your lower abs, ect. I just really enjoy that. She also gives you a 10 second break between the t=workouts but you don't just get to sit there you are moving to the next position and getting ready.
Before i workout i drink a water bottle and start to stretch. I usually just do my own stretches that i learned from cheer or dance class because those work really good. They consist of stretching your legs, back, arms, just everything. It is really important to do this before working out because you are way less sore afterwords and you have a less chance of getting hurt. Going straight into a workout is never good but that is what i did before For the water portion i have been really proud of myself. I have been choosing water so much faster and more often lately. I don't even think about getting something else. Every once in a while ill add some things into my water like lemons, cucumbers, and limes. It adds a little flavor but is stil a healthier option. Here is an example of some things i do while working out. -50 crunches -50 oblique twist -50 toe touch crunches -100 crunches with my legs leaned to the right for 50 and to the left for the other 50 -50 sit ups -100 squats -3/4 mile run on the elliptical During week 3, or this past week I have been using a workout from "Chloe Ting". She is a you tuber that posts workouts for anything that you are working on. I ave been doing abs, butt, and leg workouts. I still cant do arm workouts but hopefully i can start soon. I have also started going on my elliptical, i run anywhere from half a mile to a whole mile. I don't focus on the time i just focus on the distance. I have definitely been getting more sore after my workouts but that means i am giving myself a good workout.
I have been getting a lot better at drinking more water. When i'm out eating or just at home i immediately go for water instead of tea or soda. I have noticed that throughout the day am i less thirsty then normal. I think its because of the amount of water i have been drinking. As of right now i am drinking maybe 3 water bottles a day. During week 2 I continued on with the same workout i was doing during the first week. There obviously isn't mad improvement because it is so early in the process, but i am still trying my best. I can definitely tell some improvement in the strength in my hand. I can start to pick up heavier objects than in week 1 and I can just maneuver it easier.
