I'm not quite that creative, though I have ridden my horse is a pretty rad outfit at a show once (halloween class, and funnily enough we were a 'retro workout team'. Yes my horse does have multiple side ponytails down his neck haha)
Thanks guys. 164 this morning. At the tail end of TOM so hoping that drops off, back towards the 163.6 I a couple days ago.
Not been having good nights for a while now. I usually have trouble falling asleep, as well as waking up multiple times a night and sometimes having trouble falling asleep then as well. Taking an advil often helps for whatever reason, but even though advil isn't addictive, I don't want the habit to become addicting. I don't want to need anything to sleep. I'm not eating or exercising all that close to bed time so I'm not sure why I can't sleep or what I could do to make myself sleep better. I wasn't feeling stressed at all yesterday, didn't have thoughts swirling around my head that I just couldn't let go of.
It's definitely making life harder. I feel quite tired and lazy at work. I really needed to have gone to ride my horse today, badly, to prepare for the expensive show coming up, but I just couldn't gather the energy. I should have ran today, but certainly had no energy for that. The good news is that I found something I like to do, even when I don't have the energy to do anything, and that's Hot Yoga. I'm not sure why I can get myself to hot yoga when I am tired and don't feel like doing anything because it certainly is hard work. The guy running it today was particularly 'mean', my poor abs. I really can't believe that I actually like yoga. Though I'd never taken 'real' yoga classes before I had done some of it in DVD form (p90x I think) as well as at the end of one of my dance workout classes where she'd turn down the lights and light candles and try to make it feel yoga-y (however the one girl at the back of the class doing her ab and leg workouts and playing on her phone was always highly distracting and didn't make me feel very zen), and I always disliked it. It was boring and hard. Maybe if I took a 'real' normal temp yoga class I would like it to, or maybe it's just the added interest with the heat aspect that makes it better. My beginner (cheaper) monthly pass with be up on March 19th so I'm kinda trying to use it as often as I can till then because the next options are much more expensive (you can only get the 40$ month pass once). I think I'll probably go with the 10 or 20 class passes. I should look back and see how many time I do go this month and see what the best price option is for me.
Wore my last new pair of workout pants. I can't wait to lose the muffin tops that make me feel a little self conscious when I workout, especially when there is a smoking hot guy working out almost right next to me like today. Yum. Otherwise I actually look decent in my workout gear for the most part.
Getting a bit sick of the foods I have been having for supper. I should be getting sick of the foods I'm having for lunch too since those really only go back and forth between lasagna and enchilada but I don't really get sick of them. But I don't really give myself a choice. I just grab a container from the freezer and put it into the fridge the night before, then grab the container from the fridge to bring to work. No even thinking about taking something different. But the evening me I think about more. So today I ended up having an omelette, still with a grilled cheese, but the omelette was a decent change of pace. Gonna try to find some new recipes. I like to stick to around 300 or under so I can usually have 2 things for supper so it adds up to around 600 cals, leaving me with enough cals for some nice snacks. Totally forgot that I was gonna have an orange for snack today. Whoops.
Lunch: Lasagna
Supper: Omelette, Grilled Cheese
Snacks: 2 Kinder Surprise Chocolate Bars, popcorn, 3 cookies
Total cals: 1489 (btw yesterdays cals were 1506)
Tomorrow I NEED to ride, no questions about it. And do my run.
