Thursday

Ok so I really don’t have much to talk about.

I feel like my appitite has gone down. :) Which is good. Hmmm i jogged this morning on my break. I didn’t on my second. But I did take a short walk. And I will be going to the gym after work for an hour. So i’m really focusing on this whole exercise thing. I think an everyday exercise routine is what I need.

Well I hope you all have a fabulous thursday.

Intersting.

So yesterday I was reading a blog….and she asked about water. I didn’t know the answer to her question. So i did my own research. I found this article. I found it very interesting….because it suggests drinking sports drinks during major workouts…

“Experts at the Mayo Clinic suggest that water is fine after short exercise sessions but recommend drinking a sports drink during longer, more intense workouts. Those drinks contain sodium and will reduce your risk of developing hyponatremia, a rare yet possibly life-threatening condition that occurs when you drink too much water”

Check it out here’s the link. ;)

Working for what I want.

So last night after work I went to the gym. And I worked my butt off!! My face was bright red and i was sooooo sweaty. YAY go me!! I felt really good after my work out. Although I was beat! And than after i got home my husband, son, and I went to the Tuesday Market a few blocks from my house. (Tuesday market is a farmers market) But first we had to walk to the bank first. SO the banks is a good 10 blocks from my house. I was walking so fast to get my heart rate up….and I was already exahuasted from my work out at the gym. SO i am pretty proud of myself. :)

And today….So i ate a bigger breakfast. LOL And a good lunch and on my two 15 minute breaks I jogged on the treadmill in the gym at my work. I would have jogged also on my 30 minute lunch but I had plans to go to lunch with my sister and my nephew.

So far so good!! Ok so i think i’ve go it down. Bigger meals (not huge meals LOL) during the day and a small dinner. I’ve always had it backwards. Dinner was my big meal. And well that was probably part of my mistake. I was holding all that fat from dinner and not burning it because i was sleeping.

So i’m nervous about next week and my weekend. Vacation and weekends are my struggles of being good. But i know i really want this. SO i think i will be a little more cautious. I have to really sit down and think of how i can get through it and how i can avoid bad and old habbits.

Well hope everyone is doing well with their goals.

*hugs*

PS my food log isn’t all done because I have NO clue whats for dinner because we are going to be out and about tonight. Hmmm possibly salad. We shall see!!

Grrr

To justify my theory of weight gain and not muscle…..I put on a skirt i got in june. And when i bought this skirt it was a little lose on my. Well not this morning!! It fit perfect. How DEPRESING!!But I just can’t understand why i’ve gained so much weight. I wasn’t eating horrible and i was working out. Grrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well i’m not going to let this tear me down. Last night i worked out with my medicine ball. We went the lake and walked for a bit. And today after work I intend to spend a couple hours in the gym. I think i’m just going to have to start going to the gym every day.

I’m sooo mad at myself. So I am going to Ohio to visit family and friends next week and I really want to be down at least 5lbs from where i was at…..but instead i’m up like 8lbs. Im soooo upset. I worked hard going to boxing and running and what not. I just can’t get it.

I really really really want to start waking up early and running. But for some reason i can’t get my butt out of bed. Why…i used to be able to get up at 5 no problem. Now I can’t at all.

Man i’m just soo upset with myself today. I can’t seem to figure out what is going on.

Wake up call!

Ok so I went to the dr. today. And I was weighted. ….and I am almost back to the weight I was at, at the beginning of my journey! Are you freaking kidding me??? Ok so I know a few months back I slipped up. I was down like 15 lbs and I noticed a gain of 5lbs. But I started getting on myself when I noticed my gain. And I even joined boxing to maintain a workout plan. And I’m up so much weight. This is the most irritating news EVER!!!

I know i’m not giving it 100% but I am at 85% and how am I gaining so much weight? Yeah I know I need to give it 100% now. Because I can’t let myself be at such an unhealthy weight. I am sooo unhappy with everything.

I’m really down about this. I honestly feel like I have to starve myself in order to lose. And I have workout like a freakin maniac. GRRRR…I thought I was doing good to come to find out I am up all this weight!

Now that I have that off my chest…. I really need to figure out how to lose and maintain weight and not gain any back. Buddies I need some advice.

HELP me!
