Back... with a Vengeance!

Thanks fsaiidni!

Ok so I did my exercises.. well.. most of them.
I did 20minute workout and was supposed to do ab jam, but decided to try out the Power90 30minute one.
BOY I couldn't even get through 10minutes of it.
He does this knee thing where all it is is just marching in place pretty much. You bring your knee up front, then cross, then side, but good lordy does it burn like hell. I remember having that problem before when I was trying to do power90.
He'd start doing the knee thing and I would get this severe burning feeling in my hips/thigh area and couldn't go on.

But anywho... a bit miffed that I couldn't do any ab stuff, but I did end up doing 30min walk on the treadmill. I'm working my way up to faster speeds! Slowly but surely!! hehe

My feet are hurting right now though. When doing the 20minute workout I couldn't really feel them. But on the treadmill they started hurting and now... I'm starting to limp a little. Apparently I have a small blister on my right big toe as well :rolleyes:
Oh well though... I'm just gonna have to push through it and hope my poor feet feel better tomorrow heh.
 
Before I head to bed.. just wanted to report on my eating.

I've been getting some bad cravings at night recently. I don't know why. Last week I was doing SO well from keeping snacking to low or none at night, but all of a sudden.. I just wanna go and eat everything I can get my hands on.
I have been snacking but making sure that I don't go overboard with it.
I'll get over it eventually though. Baby steps.. baby steps :)

So yep.. had between 1400-1600 today :)

We might be going grocery shopping tomorrow, but I'm not counting on it.
 
I'm not eating well too....lost count of snacks at work lol....persevere gal! We must work forward!:)
hope yr feet get better.... take good care and sleep well tonite!
 
hey amunet, trust me-i wanted to/did gorge on everything last week-felt great as it went down my throat, then i immediately felt the fullness overwhelm me-IT SUCKED. i think these "eat everything you can" cravings are normal, they come and go-but remember your goal is always there. the easiest days for me are the ones that i dont even think that eating over my calorie limit is a possibility. It's always a battle in my head between the part of me that wants to lose weight and the part of me that is telling me that i can't do it and i'll fail anyways so why even bother. that voice needs to be choked and put down, it'll never fully leave-but maybe we can quiet it a little

Totally have that voice as well.
Just this morning. I woke and was just thinking to myself how easy it would be to just stay in bed. Not exercise. Not worry about what I'm eating.
Just lounge around all day and do nothing productive.
I was thinking to myself like this as I ate my yogurt.. as I sat here skimming through the boards....but I fought against those thoughts and the feeling of laziness and did my workout :)

I did Cardio Party today and well.. it's not my fav workout in the world. For one.. it's a 45min constant workout and throughout it I find myself just heaving trying to just lift my legs up when they do lol.
I know I'll be able to go through it no problem eventually though just so long as I stick with it :)
Then I did about 23min on the treadmill. Would've gone 30 but my feet started aching. Guess I haven't recovered fully from my day at the fair. Blisters still bothering me some but they're healing.

Aaaand yep :) So far so good! heh
Just waiting for bf to get home so we can run to the grocery store real quick heh.

I'm a bit doubtful I'll lose any weight this week. Not sure why but.. I dunno... I just dont' think I will. Which is alright b/c I know measurements are going to come down even if the scale doesn't. Of course it would be nice if all numbers came down but I'll take what I can get heh. :D
 
Good going on doing the workout! Thinking about is the worst part...that's why I've yet been to the gym myself! :D

Your avatar is facinating to me...where did it come from?
 
Heh... I drew it actually.
I used to play this multiplayer online game called City of Heroes and well... my hero looked something like that.
I drew a fanart of her.. and that pic was in it as part of the graffiti behind her...




Heh.. I don't play the game anymore but I like to use the pic as my avatar b/c I think it's cute :p hehe
 
Had about 1500-1600 calories today :)

Going to probably have a good bit tomorrow cause I'm fixing my kimchi soup! WOOO! lol
Went to the store and got my tofu... made sure the kimchi was nice and sour.. and it was so the soup is gonna be SO YUM!
Gonna have me some rice and seaweed to go along with it.. ooo my mouth is just watering thinking about it hehe.

I've been doing that self sabotage thing though which sucks. Or at least... that part of me that wants to be lazy is trying to sabotage me.
I've been thinking all night how I could just skip exercising tomorrow.. how I want to skip it.... and it's just SO tempting, but I know I need to! I know if I start talking myself out of exercising that I'll keep doing it until I completely stop.
It's happened before and I just can't let that happen again.
It's so hard trying to break bad habits ya know?
I'll pull through this though :)

Tomorrow I get to do the Turbo Sculpt for the first time along with Ab Jam.
I'm gonna try my best with both of them :)
 
You are doing awsome I am so proud of you and your baby steps!
 
great job with the excersize, is there perhaps something new you could do that would motivate you more? a new form of excersize?
 
Thanks for the support! It's SO needed right now.

Hmm.. there really isn't any other exercises I could do right now. I'm SOOO not flexible so yoga/pilate stuff isn't gonna happen.. nm about having to be on the hard floors.

Turbo Jamin is pretty fun once you're actually able to pick up the moves. I do like doing the 20minute workout. It's just that this always happens. It's about that time where I start slacking off and doing the "I can just skip this day b/c I've been doing so well" or " Oh I can eat this b/c I've been doing so well" and one day turns into another and another until I'm right back to where I started.
If I can pull through this week and probably next without talking myself into eating wrong or skipping exercising.. I think that little voice will go away.. least I hope so hehe.
This morning was really hard though. I woke up and the first thought in my head was.... "Just go back to sleep and skip exercising today"
Grrrrr... why do we do this to ourselves!

I put on my exercise clothes though and in about 40mins will be doing my exercises! I have to break that lazy part of myself!

Wow! Very nice...even with the wings she looks a tad bit mischevious maybe! I've played a few games too...not that game but similar ones (like homm). I won't allow myself to do it anymore though because it's too addicting!
 
Heh.. I love playing games.
After I left City of Heroes I started playing Everquest 2. It was fun for a while but the total lack of uniqueness and lack of creative fantastical looking armor made me quit that game. The gameplay was fun, but if there isn't that eyecandy... I'm just not gonna be interested for too long ya know?
After EQ2... I started playing WoW and still am :)
I don't like that most high lvl content is for raiding or grouping only, but it has really nice graphics and really fun gameplay :)


Anywho! hehe

I did my exercises today! Or well.. tryed to at least! heh
That Turbo Sculpt is HAAARRRDDD. Probably doesn't help that I'm stuck using 5lb weights right now though. But OH good god are the moves hard hard HARD. Alot of shoulder stuff that just about kills me.
I couldn't keep up with alot of it b/c I was just getting worn out, but like with everything else.. just gotta keep at it and I'll be able to do it no problem :) I am a bit pissed that the last hmm.. 10min? Are floor stuff. It wasn't anything hard... just lifts for your chest and then stretches but that's not the point.
Their infomercial is so misleading. It says that Turbo Jam is all on your feet exercises! Etc! That's why I wanted it!
But turns out... there ARE on the floor exercises :mad: Oh well though.
Also did the first 10minutes of Ab Jam. All the on your feet stuff and I worked it out as hard as I could and I could really feel it in my abs by the end of it.
I know the floor stuff would be more beneficial, but I'm just not at that point to where I want to attempt it yet.

Also did 15minutes on the treadmill. Started getting that same dang cramp again :rolleyes: I did do a jog though! Only about 40sec b/c of the cramp.. but I did it! lol
 
Well guys I am just copying and pasting this for everyone. Trying to keep up and not having a lot of time. So I'll make it short and sweet. Hope you are having a wonderful day!!
 
Welp.. I had my kimchi soup and it was goooood.
I ate a bit too much though heh. Well.. not too much of it, b/c I still have alot of left over... I ate too much rice along with it heh.
I can't help it though, it's just so YUM!!

I guesstimated my calories though. Which I'm not gonna do too often anymore.

So I probably had about 1600-1800 tonight. Not great but I know the kimchi will move right through me so it won't stay for long lol.
I'm gonna have it tomorrow night as well! It's always better heated up! Dunno why.. but it just is :D
