Misty's Diary

misty22 said:
I have been MIA because I started full-time work this week. So my schedule has been I am out at 7 something am and back home by 6pm. Last Monday I actually did go to the gym after I got home from work but I left exhausted and the next morning it was hard to get up.

My plan of action for next week is...going to the gym directly from work. Don't know how well that will work out but Ima gonna try!

I'm feeling the same way!

Hopefully we'll both get into the groove soon with all the work. I'm going to have to do my workouts in the morning, at night I just can't do it.

Hope you have a great week Misty! Work it!!
 
So my appetite has increased, which really worries me. I've been feeling really hungry for the past few days and even when I do eat a lot I find myself really hungry the next day. I think I'm forgetting how I lost the weight last year :S

Anyways, today was the first day back at the gym in a really long while. Did about 3 miles on the eliptical and now I am ready for kicking it into high gear and making this routine! Tomorrow is pretty much the same drill. I can't get a work out anytime except after work.....so if that what I have to do...that's what I have to do.

Weight loss goal for end of Feb: 3lbs.
 
So I did eat quite a bit today (what is wrong with me??) - BUT today was my second day at the gym. My aim, as always, is to build consistency and well, it's always tough to get out and about with winter. Anyways, excuses aside, I'm just happy I am making it to the gym. I just need to keep this up! I'm not as concerned about what my weight is at the moment because I am focusing on getting the exercise in and eating healthy.

Tomorrow I'm hitting the gym and I'm going to have fun! :)
 
Nothing too new to report. I've been forcing myself to go to the gym during the weekdays. The weekends are more or less a write off as those are the days I do my chores and have other crap to do.

I'm going out for vday dinner tonite with a bunch of single friends. Weirdly enough, I wish I was doing something else tonite but it'll be good to get out.

My sister has me a bit pissed but i really should not let it affect my mood. Anyways, lots to do. Need to clean out my closet and get a bit of studying in before I head out.


One thing I need to focus on is my eating habits, been feeling more hungry than usual and I am not sure if that is because of starting up with the gym again or something else. I am also going to post up my ticker at work. :) I can do this.
 
15-16 more lbs to go. I am going to make a paper ticker to post in my cubicle at work.

16 weeks to the goal weight.
 
So I ate sort of heavy after getting back from the gym :S BUT tomorrow is a new day. 16 lbs to go...whoooooooo! *bit of self-cheering-on never hurts* :)
 
So starting over does sort of suck. But today I felt great. I'm not aching though- like after my exercise I would feel my muscles have been worked and going back to the gym after a few months hiatus surprisingly doesn't leave me with that feeling of "ouch".

So I have broken my goal down into two mini goals. The first is losing 6 lbs. And the second is losing 10 lbs.

Time frame for first goal:
End of March, March 31, 2009

Time frame for second goal:
End of June 2009

Time frames are not set in stone but keep me accountable.
 
I'm on the verge on another breakup- and I feel like absolute crap today. I'm trying to stay strong but I don't feel very strong. Anyways....I have been trying to get to the gym regularly. If anything, this breakup will force me to be more regular because the only way I am going to feel good is by working out. It's only up from here, right?

Right now I stand 15 lbs away from my goal....and I'm on my period so I have not exercised much today.

Just felt like sharing ..:)
 
I worked out today and it felt great!

My sister has joined the gym too and since she and I are only 2 years apart, there is a bit of competition between us when it comes to everything! She is slimmer than me but this is motivation for me to kick arse!

Not sure if I can get to the gym this week....I went yesterday and today and will definitely hit it again on Sunday. The rest of the week is very unpredictable but I will get some exercise in at home.
 
Just updating the ticker....14 more stubborn lbs to go :) But I'm going to give it my best shot, was sick earlier this week so did not get anything done in terms of exercise or studying. This week willlllll be different.
 
I have not been to the gym in two days...and tomorrow is a no-go because I have class. It's raining as well so chances of me getting out for a walk are not good. I'm going to get in some exercise at home.

Sunday I plan to hit the gym in the morning.

No more excuses. Or binging. High time to make this work for me. 14 more lbs. Here I come.
 
My weight's been stable recently. Not much fluctuation...either up or down.

With studying and full-time work it has been challenging to fit in exercise. Last week I tried going to gym from work and it worked out pretty well but by the time I come home I am starving and that has led to the "pigging out" process...so something needs to be fixed there. I am determined to balance my life. Plus summer is not that far away.

So my thoughts at this point are to study Sun, and then Mon, Wed, Fri and actually take as much time I need at the gym on Tues and Thurs...so schedule would be:

Sun: study, walk
Mon: gym, study for 2 hrs
Tues: gym
Wed: gym, study for 2 hrs
Thurs:gym
Fri: study/ practice exam

Also planned lunches will help. On the days I do go out to eat my lunches will have to be light...such as on Friday....argh....I should write this down somewhere else too.

Anyways off to hit the books! :leaving:
 
how long does it take to get home after the gym ? you should eat within 20 minutes of finishing your workout, it doesn't have to be big, a piece of fruit, protein shake or energy bar are all good options. If you leave it to long before you eat it can lead to that "pigging out" process and your recovery from your workout will not be as good leaving you much more tired than you should be.


p.s. thanks for the support in my diary :)
 
Hi Trus,

Yes, what I should be doin is having a small meal after the workout. Today was ok. Went to the gym from work...came back exhausted and lay in bed for a bit, I'm doing ok now, maybe I will grab some juice and get started on my homework. :)

Contemplating on starting a new diary on here. Not that I have a great following, haha, so it should be easy to start a new one. Just feel that the last 13-14 lbs deserves some new motivation. Momentum. Gusto. And a new diay would help with that. Just a thought. We shall see if I set one up in the coming days.
