Work to drink

Hitting a quick run and some abs so I can have a drink with miller.

Zumba. I looked super awkward. I think. There is definitely a muscle memory aspect to Zumba that I don't have the rhythm for yet. Upper body is just too stiff. Things I will work on.

Shoulder press machine 3 sets 12. Start 10 per side. Up 15 then 20.

Walking lunch with 30 lbs. 8 steps. Two reps.

Shoulder raise. 3 sets 2. 10 lbs start. 15 then 20

I don't know where my th post went

Lunch time work out.

Run 35 minutes
Lifting: shoulder press at 10 15 20. 3 sets of 12; weighted 30 lunges 16 steps 2 sets; shoulder raises: 10,15,20 3 sets 12.

Bought donuts.

But I won't eat one. My breakfast was already highly caloric bc I had waffle with nutella. Not good. I am about to go be honest with myself and add on the peanut butter.

I do wonder if my eye twitch has anything to do with diet and working out.

Anticipating the weekend and I plan to work out in the morning Saturday. Maybe rest on Sunday.

Start. Day 1

Lift day 1

Assisted with 105 chin ups. 3 sets of 12.
Squats with 20 30 and 40. 3 sets of 12
Bicep dumbbell curls: 15 each. 3 sets of 25 alternating.

Must bring jacket for post work out. Burr

Yet another start over but this time with financial obligation

So I committed myself financially to going to the gym. I just purchased another gym membership. This gym is close to work and something I should have done a long time ago. Having this gym nearby for after work or lunchtime exercise is going to be great. I think part of my problem with getting to the gym was that after work there are just so many activities to do. And I like to get home to hang out with Daniel. But now I can use my lunch hour where I normally just eat and read to run and read or do a class. I will be free to pursue after work activities without the issue with picking between the gym and being social.

Results I desire: I want to lose pounds. My actual weight number is what is driving me nuts. I also want to lose inches. I am going to look up plans right now and attempt to meet them. Diet as always is an issue. But I'll try to work on it. Tracking food staring today. I want my clothes to fit right. I want more energy. I want a lot and am going to try to work for it. No time like the present.

Starting yet again

Well, August 1st marked the beginning of my newest fitness attempts and 3 days in has been going pretty well. It is a slow start, but I didn't want to just jump into everything and end up purging ridiculously because I got fed up too early.  I know that isn't always the best way to do it, but I'm trying. This time around I was hoping Daniel would be really enthusiastic into it and we would end up being fit together.  However, that has not been the case.  August 1st I woke up at 5:40 am to do 30-day shred.  Daniel didn't wake up with me, but I made him wake up for a cool down walk.  After the walk he ended up doing shred.  I thought we were then on a good path since he actually did it, even if he hated me.  But I don't think it worked.  The past two days I have again woken up at 5:40 in order to do 30-day shred and tried to wake Daniel up, but he has refused.

The food aspect.  I am trying again to do 1200 net calories.  It is going to take some adjustment.  I am food logging.  This will hopefully also help me for figuring out stomach things.  I do need to get a little bit more strict with recording it though.  I know there was a cookie that didn't count yesterday.  I will fix that for today.  Lessening the snacking will hopefully help.  I started on a Giants game day, but I did relatively well in just getting liquor and a turkey burger.  Yesterday's fajitas weren't too unhealthy either.  Today I did a salad which was better than some of the other options I was considering.  As far as food I would like to purchase, nuts are going to be my new snack, and fruits.  Small things throughout the day seems to be working pretty well.  I have no idea how Daniel is doing with it though.

I know I need to exercise more though.  I haven't made it to the gym yet.  That will be my next additional step and will hopefully start today.  One issue we have is that the gym isn't open that late, but we should still be making the effort to go.  That is my newest focus.

Bummed

I get back into calorie tracking and going to the gym and I gain weight.

Ok. Time.

Daniel is almost done with finals and I'm going to keep up the fitness so he can start off strong with some motivation. I want to get skinny. Going to drink lots of watrr

Starting Jillian Michael's

Today I went to the gym in the morning and ran off 700 calories. I also then started Jillian michaels thirty day shred. I want to combine the two to lose inches and see a difference in working out. I am hoping the running will make my eating become under control and the shred will get rid of inches. We will see how committed I am after I start working tomorrow. But last time I tried to get really fit was when I was starting a job again. Being back in sf will make it difficult because I will have social influences and desires. But I am going to try to be strict with myself and truly record everything bc it makes me feel responsible to someone or something.

Torturing myself

Looking up spring rolls is so much torture. I am hungry and craving lots of different foods. I want spring rolls and I want boiling crab style seafood! Shrimp in a delicious bag. Crab! Mmm. So effing hungry. It might be a noon lunch kind of day.

Extra things I ate yesterday

Brownie
Mozzarella cheese sticks
Bag of chips

I need to stop eating out of boredom.

Todays food goals: breakfast didn't have carbs! Just egg and hamburger meat.

Lunch is the standard micro meal.

Didn't bring a snack.

Dinner: can of soup and apple/brownie! And nothing else! Gonna be strict tonight.

I am considering this no carb at night thing. I do hear that it is better to eat more in the morning and less at night. Oh considerations.

Lifting of the day

A post on facebook has motivated me to do squat presses tonight. I'll also do machine shoulder presses and low abs. I might try some pushups too. I know that changing up a work out is important. And I have plenty of time. I have also definitely decided to do 30 day shred once I am in my new apartment. Not sure how I'll do it on the weekends with my adventures. Might have to start after Vegas at least. But excited to try.

Stress eater

I am definitely a stress eater so I'll have to avoid the pitfall of buying snacks when stressed. It makes it too easy to fail.

On a separate note I want to work out arms today. Although I never think it helps. Maybe I just don't do enough

Goals

Time to set some new goals: current weight at the gym is 146ish (I'll double check tonight). I want to lose 2 lbs a week. And goal weight is 125. Minor goal is 135. So in about ten weeks I want to be there. By Easter it would be nice. But I have to stay strict on the diet and exercise. Thus by July 4 I should be at my goal weight. I really think the my fitness pal app works and I'm going to continue using that. Just need to stop buying the junk bc if it isn't there then I won't have the opportunity to eat it. The complication of this all: gotta do it on a budget.

Micro meals galore time!

Hungry time

And it's early. Guess orange now! Yay healthy snack.

Drinking

The new thing for this year is going to be drinking water when hungry. I'm also liking green tea w lemon to help feel full. I'm trying again I guess.

Finally getting back

Going to the gym today. I finally have all my clothing and am feeling ok. So it's back to it as of today. Going to track strictly. No more free snacks. I can do this!

places in fresno

i want to try for lunch:

Diana's persian

the ethiopian fasisk--i think is the name.

No more snacking

Doing poorly today. Caramel popcorn and spicy dried fruit. Get it together Lauren. Gym tonight for sure.
