I'm Ready

I ALWAYS FEEL SO GOOD AFTER WORKING OUT.

It feels great. I feel accomplished. My skin feels awesome. I feel relaxed.

I’ve been doing Zumba for the past week. Every day. Zumba is so much fun. It’s so easy to stick to actually working out with it. I try to do other workouts also. I’ve only ran one day though this past week. I try to do some crunches, jumping jacks, push-ups, and squats. Leg lifts too! They’re my favorite, lol. I haven’t really been counting calories. I try to eat healthy snacks if any snacks at all. I eat normal lunch and dinner. I know breakfast is important but I tend to skip it. I wish I could find my diet pills. -_-

SO

I definitely haven’t posted in like a week. We’ve been in the middle of moving so I didn’t really have that much time to do daily updates. My diet hasn’t been too terrible. I won’t deny that I’ve given into some cravings throughout the week. I haven’t been taking the diet pills that I was supposed to be taking (I actually can’t seem to find them. Packed away somewhere probably). I haven’t really done a “workout” until yesterday. I tried to work hard while moving heavy boxes and crap. I tried to carry only one thing at a time so I would run up and down the stairs more.

Anyway, yesterday we bought an Xbox Kinect. We got Zumba and Dance Central. Zumba is definitely kicking my ass. I hope to do it every day. I’m going to try running on the treadmill for 20-30 minutes every day too. I guess I kind of forgot about the plan I was working on. I really hope to stick to this one. So far it’s been fun, lol. But I’ve only done it for two days. If the weather stays nice I want to take a walk daily also. My sister and I took our dogs for a walk today.

Ugh, I’m so terrible at actually sticking to things. WHY IS DIETING SO HARD?!

I want to weigh myself weekly. But I don’t want to weigh myself. I know I didn’t lose any weight this week. I have a pretty good feeling I’m still just 170. D:

DAY SEVEN.

So usually I post the day after, but I didn’t have a chance to yesterday. So this post is actually for two days ago.

Exercise -

This was my cardio day, so I played 10 songs on Just Dance on the Wii. I was sweating pretty good by the end. It was fun too, lol.

Eating -

Breakfast - I had oatmeal pancakes that I made. I only had one out of the three I made though (I saved the other two and ate them later.)

the recipe:
1 c. fat free milk
3/4 c. of oatmeal
3/4 c. oatmeal flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp cinnamon

They were okay, a little bland. I did add some syrup. I tried not to add too much because it has a terribly large amount of calories per serving. I probably added more than I should have though.

Lunch - I had some mixed veggies. And a chocolate snack pack.

Dinner - I had a grilled classic chicken sandwich from McDonald’s and a fruit parfait.

Of course later in the day I ate the rest of the pancakes and had some popcorn. Late night snacking is becoming a really bad habit for me. D:

It’s hard because Barry’s eating schedule is all messed up (and he eats so often, I tried convincing him to go on a diet with me, but he’s too freaking lazy), so when he eats at night, so do I. Ugh.

I don’t know, we’re moving in with my parents for a few weeks until settlement on the house we’re buying. This is probably going to take a big hit on my diet. They aren’t exactly healthy eaters. They have snacks ALL THE TIME. Chips, cookies, ice cream. I really need to start restricting a little bit more. I need to try REALLY HARD to not give in while we live there. The upside is they have a treadmill, some weights, and a stationary bike. At least I’ll have no excuse to not exercise. The equipment is right there. GIVE ME ENCOURAGEMENT. Help me not fail myself. I will be so disappointed in myself.

OH, and today was the last day of the seven day slimming pills. Now I’m starting the second set of pills that came with the pack. They are called Lipofuze (I think). I take one 30 minutes before breakfast and one thirty minutes before lunch. This is SO much better than taking 8/day. I hate swallowing pills.

DAY 6.

Yesterday was a good day.

Breakfast -
Applesauce!
(edit: I just remembered that I also tried oatmeal with raspberries. Still gross, I couldn’t even eat the whole thing. I took a couple of bites then was done.)

Lunch -
Didn’t eat anything.

Dinner -
Turkey with sloppy joe sauce on wheat bread (it was gross).
Macaroni and Cheese. (also gross, but that’s good because I only ate a small serving).

Snack -
Applesauce.

I took the diet pills before breakfast and took them before I was supposed to eat lunch, but then forgot to eat because we were busy.

EXERCISE -

I did the exercises that I listed yesterday. Did the 15 minutes of high-intensity cardio. Then did the exercises again. I stretched between each section.

Then I took my son and dog to the park, it was about a 30 minute walk.

I felt pretty good about yesterday. I did have a can of pepsi though. I hadn’t given in to soda in a while, but my mom brought us some and I caved. I usually only drink water and on occasion green tea or lemonade (it’s that no sugar added lemonade, I don’t know how much healthier it is, but I figured no sugar was better than some sugar).

After working out I felt really good. Not only was I proud of myself for doing a whole work-out, my skin felt great, my muscles felt awesome, and I felt energized.

My calves are burning a little today but I’m definetly not even close to how sore I was the other day. I feel good.

taking Braedyn for a walk! exercise AND mother-son bonding. :D

120bones asked: don't say 'if i make it' because you will. :) you know you will! if you're unsure, go and exercise now! xxx
