Hey everyone!!!
Im pretty sure no one follows this but for me this is accountability. Keeping myself honest and keeping myself going. It will take awhile and I will hate myself some days and be on cloud nine others. The goal is to stay focused, to keep my ass in the gym, and eating right.
Staying focused..... EASIER SAID THEN DONE!
I need to get into my routine and stick to it. I was bailing out when I wasn't leaving the office till later. No matter what time I leave the office I will head to the gym. My plan is to work out Sunday through Thursday, and possibly Saturday's. Since the weather is warming up, I want to start running outside, or Intervals. My right ankle has been killing me on the treadmill. Goal is to get outside and walk/run daily. Even if I run laps around the gym outside or running down Pelham before the rest of my workout. Running makes me feel good- I enjoy it and it will push me to finally quit smoking. I want to run marathons and 5ks, 10ks, and more Mud Runs! I had some much fun but want to be able to pull myself over a wall or haul my body over planks of wood.
ASS IN THE GYM!
I will be in the gym. I have to. Weight is not going to fall off of me. The best and worst part about it is when I feel like throwing up, passing out, or running away, the after effect is what I love. I love feeling exhausted, drained, soaking wet, and feeling good about myself.
EATING RIGHT!
NO PROCESSED FOOD! I have thrown out everything in my fridge, and restocked. I now have all lean meat, no red meat, fish, veggies, veggies, veggies, almond milk, protein, and some fruits. Oh yeah YOGURT- The death of me. I have found a way to consume it with protein and almond milk. I am eating breakfast everyday, 1 cup of coffee. 2 protein shakes a day with a mid-morning snack, small lunch, afternoon snack, followed up with dinner. Since I get home from the gym so late and don't want all that food in my system before bed- I am having a few almonds or just water and protein.
My meals today were:
Coffee, 2 cuties, 1 protein shake with almond milk, romaine lettuce salad just basic, an apple, protein and yogurt with a little bit of almond milk, followed up with Turkey filets and 1 cup of steamed veggies.
My workout tonight:
15 minutes running intervals. However, my ankle was killing me and I stopped. It was supposed to be 20 minutes. That's why I am returning to running outside. It was then followed up by:
100 jumping jacks
100 kettle bell swings
100 thrusters
100 squats
3-20 second wallsits
I was so excited to work out with Chris and Andrea from work tonight. I know we are all at different levels but feeding off each other, pushing harder, and getting through it was the best feeling.
If anyone knows anything about food- PLEASE TELL ME IF IM DOING SOMETHING WRONG!
Now the bad news. I weighed in. 232. :((((( My original starting weight a year ago was 238. So I gained all but 6 pounds back. Its so depressing. My first thought was forget it Im done. But then I thought, you have lost weight in the past. You just need to stick to it. So I have recalculated the marbles to have a 72 pounds weight loss goal to put me at 160. Im hoping to do this in a years time. I will be weighing in bi-weekly so I dont get too down on myself or so excited that I slip.
So hopefully lots of marbles will be moved!
Until next time :)
