Just Don't Do What I Do

[justdontdowhatido]

Did some circuit training for the first time in some three months. Didn’t lose as much strength as I was nervous that I would have, but I did notice my right leg was a little sluggish which is new :/ I really should go to physical therapy to see if they can help at all.

My shoulder are def feeling the workout lol. Here’s hoping I can kick a** in the next six months.

Oh I just joined a kickstarter on top of my transformer, let’s do this.

One Last Dietbet (Hopefully)

So I want to do another 6 month weight loss comp and actually win the weigh in at the end of EVERY month!

If I really work for it I should be able to not only get under 200 lbs, which is only a few away, but also get to my 174 lb goal weight.

I’m hosting my own DB to help keep me accountable and motivated. I figure if I’m the host then I gotta be the shining star and on my best behavior. I’m not a fancy trainer or celeb, just a reg girl trying to lose weight.

I’m hoping to post a daily picture/post to help motivate me and all the other players. Please join me :)

Milestones

The quest for Onederland starts now. I’ve got about 15 lbs to go (but I’m not sure since my scale gave me four dif weights all in the span of two minutes, so I’m just gonna go with the largest) and I’m hoping if I behave I’ll be there by Jan 1st.

I feel kinda cruddy right now. I figured I’d take a rest day today since I’ve been all sorts of sore and my last one was last Wednesday.

So I was super hungry today and I always feel guilty when I can’t control my eating but I need to calm my mind and stop that negative thought process. It’s just food.

Today def needs to be a rest day

holy crap my back is sore, what gives :(

30 Day Shred level one; day one complete. I’m going to do 10 days w/a rest day in btw each to last me almost 3 weeks.

I modified the pushups a bit. Rather than half ass and squeak a few out on the floor before my muscles spaz out I did them against a wall and managed to do the whole 30 sec and I definitely felt it. I can build up to doing it against the high table, then the couch, then back down to my knees. At least I’m doing it.

There needs to be a way for me to do the same with crunches. I can do okay on a normal one, but reverse ones are bad bc I can’t hold my legs up for long and I feel like any bicycle/cross crunch isn’t going well. I’m not sure how to effectively do them. Maybe put a pillow underneath my back at first to let me build up some strength and then go back to the ground.

I was sooo excited to try out the new Workout Bet but on the first day my body decided to be difficult, my phone wouldn’t cooperate, and my mind decided to hate myself and that I needed a good cry when I saw myself in the video I was recording. 

So I dropped out. :( I feel like such a failure plus now I hate the way I look and don’t want to leave the house. Right after telling the people I wanted out I did a semi effective workout (after trying about 5 times to do the WB one my legs were a little tired).

Not too excited about eating salads now that the weather is getting cooler so I tried a grain bowl for dinner last night. It was super yummy and I'm excited to have leftovers for lunch today. I think I might try more soups this fall/winter as well.

down with the sickness

UGH, while I’m super happy I don’t have something worse this head cold is really messing with my concentration and mood. Oh well, I’m sleeping as much as I can to get it out of me faster.

Work wants me to come in tonight since they are short staffed, looks like I need to get my workout in now rather than later.

Since I work mostly nights I am fortunate enough to not have to wake up at a set time and can let my body wake up when it wants. Most nights I get a decent nights rest even if I only lay down at 1:30 am. 

Last night was not so great. I woke up at 5:30 or so with a need to go to the bathroom but mom was using it to get ready, so I just kinda waited around till 6. Then when I went back to bed I couldn’t get comfortable and my shoulders kept hurting. I don’t think I feel back asleep for very long but I can’t really remember. Oh well, I can always take a nap and one bad night won’t hurt me.

I always set up my pre workout setup so nice. The yoga mat is laid so it will cushion my knees for on the ground moves and my five and ten lbs weights are in front of the couch with the fives on the inside and tens on the outside. My laptop sits on the couch. Then I end up just tossing stuff all over since I'm moving quickly btw moves. I did a beginner workout again but made sure to put in 100% effort and max out my weights. It's better than not working out at all.

Today is an off day. I might be rethinking my workout options.
