Gotta get it out!

i just did 30 minutes of cardio again. yah! it kicked my butt a little more than yesterday, which sucks.

it’s partly because the left side of my back has been hurting for days. it feels like i got punched and it is very tender. i suspect it’s either from the arm exercises i did with my bands or the way i sleep. i didn’t do my strength training last night because of it. so i’m not sure if i should try to do some tonight or not. common sense says no, let the muscles rest and recover. fat girl who wants to be skinny and is on a high of 5 lb weight loss sense says, suck it up and do it!

yes, i have lost 5 lbs in the past 2 weeks. yah! i’ve found a new way to be inspired. when i want to eat something bad, especially something high in sodium, i think about how tight my clothes will fit the next day at work and how miserable i will be and have been in the past. i’m sick of being uncomfortable at work.

ok, time to take a shower and pop some ibuprofen. my back is really killing me.

yesterday when i left work, i was soooo tired and needed a beer. so i went to Margarita’s to have a beer and see my friend who works there. i hadn’t ate much for the day (yogurt, LF cheese stick, LF micro-meal) so the beer hit me quick. this is why i decided to eat there. i had a gringo-burger and fries.  it wasn’t as bad as eating the mexican food would have been and they make killer burgers and fries. so that was my dinner. i went home before the bad ice struck and watched tv. i knew there was no way i was going to exercise, i was too tired from my workday.

today, i had my usual 2-3 cups of coffee, several cigs and decided to get off my butt and exercise. i did 30 minutes of cardio. yah! that’s the most i’ve done at one time. i pop a movie in to keep me going once i start. (i’ve watched 3:10 to Yuma each time and i think i’m gonna buy it. great movie to get lost in and forget about the time.) then i did a couple loads of laundry, made breakfast (egg sandwich-2 scrambled eggs, 2 LF cheese slices, 2 slices fiber/wheat toast) and now i’m taking my mom to the grocery with me. i just have to make sure it’s not an all day event. she can spend 4 or more hours wondering around in a store. drives me nuts! i like to get in, get my stuff and get out. i also have to make sure i don’t let her drive me to eat eat eat! mothers have a way of doing that, especially mine.

anyway, i plan to do some strength training later with the bands and whatnot. i’m proud of myself for picking myself back up and following through after a week of nothing. : )

wow! i wanted to talk about my exercise from last night and just realized the last time i worked out was valentine’s day. sheesh, going through my ‘cycle’ has made an impact on my lately. the past few times all i have wanted to do is eat and sleep. i did some of that this time. sunday, my lower back was killing me from cleaning on saturday combined with my cycle on sunday. we had monday off and i didn’t take advantage of it-shame on me!

so anyway, i exercised last night and my lower back is hurting again. that’s what happens when you slack off and i know this. my back should loosen up during the day and tonight i will exercise again. i’ll just take it a little easy-but i will break a sweat…LOL!

keep up the good work ladies and ta ta for now!

today is all about cleaning my house. i have let it go for too long. that will be my exercise, and trust me, it WILL be exercise. i have to do it all. laundry will be today or tomorrow since we are off work. i have a ‘date’ with a co-worker later this evening to throw darts, so i may have to wash something. guess i should go look in my closet to see if i have anything clean. well, i know i have clean clothes, it’s just if i want to wear them…lol!

yesterday i worked out my arms and abs and that’s it. i was too tired to do anything else. i also didn’t wait a day between working the same muscles and i felt it. so like i said, today is kind of a day off by cleaning instead.

so, i guess that’s it for now. buh bye!

is anyone else getting the same spam that i’m getting? whenever i write, the next day there will be a ‘comment’ from some random ‘website’ linking back to my comments or a ‘comment’ from from a gobboldy goop name.

i’m sick of having to go in and delete them. anyway….GGGRR!

so i just finished my exercise for the night. i did squats till my thighs screamed (which by most people’s standards wasn’t much), used my bands to work my arms and wow… i felt it! i did crunches till it felt like needles going through me and then did my stepping and sweating.

i am tired!

i exercised tonight. instead of doing my arms, abs, legs, etc., i did legs and cardio. i stepped up and down till my calves couldn’t take it any more. they weren’t screaming, but they hurt. and i did it longer than i did last night. and i was sweating. so i would say it counts.

thing is, now i’m exhausted, really. so i will take tonight and not complain about what i did not do. i will be happy for what i did.

: )

OK, it’s been a over a week since i’ve written. mainly because i haven’t done any exercise and have been disappointed in myself. the only thing i did this past weekend was my laundry. seriously, my laundry. i washed, dried, folded and put it in a basket. i didn’t hang it up until this morning before i went to work.

you may ask yourself…..why didn’t she do anything?!?!? and i tell you…because i soooooo needed it. after being sick and doing stuff for my mom for the past few weekends and stressing over work (this coming month is gonna suck!), i decided to be a lazy. i allowed myself to do absolutely nothing and not worry about it.

saturday, at about 11am, i decided to take a nap. oh my gosh! that was sooo awesome! so sunday, i did it again at around 3pm. that, too, was awesome. a mini-vacation (at least that’s what i think vacation is supposed to be).

so tonight, i worked out. i worked everything. so much that as i type this, i feel my abs moving and twisting (it’s actually kinda creepy).

i ate decent today. (oh yeah, did i mention that i ate whatever i wanted over the weekend also?) i have a LF yogurt with fiber one when i got to work. then i had raw veggies with watered down, LF blue cheese to dip in. for lunch a LF fettucine alfredo w/broccoli (now the bad part - w/a snack size bag of cheetos. aargh! i know…). when i got home, dinner was a LF micro meal of salisbury steak w/mac and cheese.

now if you look at it in calories, i did great. if you look at it in terms of fat, not so bad. as to servings of fruits, veggies, fiber-the perfect diet-could have been better. and if you look at for carbs, whoa nellie! get a hold on the reigns…sheesh! so depending on your view….i ate decent today.

i’m rationalizing this huh? i guess i have to coax myself to get back into the game, because vacation is over.

tonight i take my last antibiotic pill..yah! trouble is, i’m still coughing up yucky stuff and don’t feel so hot. 

saturday, i got on the treadmill to run. i got to the 3rd running part, and my right calf felt ‘dead’ for lack of a better word. first, i couldn’t feel anything from the knee down, felt like my leg was flopping around. then, the outside of the calf started ’screaming’ and i had to stop.

according to the schedule, i should have run today. but i guess i was afraid of the pain and chose not to. i did, however, do the step up and down thing a little while ago. again, my calf started screaming.

in lieu of just quitting the running plan, i’m going to hold off for another week or two so i can totally get over being sick and work my calves so i can accomplish what i set out to do.

i can’t help but feeling like i’ve screwed up. i just keep telling myself that as long as i make plans, follow through at least half the time (lol), then i’m doing better than i have been and eventually i will do it more and more so that it is a regular part of my life.

great plan….eehhhh?
