So, I'm not going to post about food, cuz well, I'm sure you all don't have any interest in what I ate today. There was oatmeal, steak, fruit...don't know how many calories.
I haven't missed a day at the gym since the upholstery guy. But to be honest, I'm getting really discouraged. I go to the gym and do 30 minutes of cardio every day -- enough to get me into what the nutritionist told me was the "fat burning zone" ...somewhere between the 120s and 135. I rode the bike today until the guy next to me put on headphones and started singing. Loudly. And tappin' his belly like a drum. And smelling. Badly. And then popped open a coke. Ugh. So, I guess 48 minutes is gonna have to be enough on the bike. =/ I did do some weights though. Not too much. Some abs/arm/back.
I keep saying I'm going to go and just run, but it hurts my knees and I get bored so easily. I'm starting to think I'm not going to be able to make the AF standards by the end of the summer and it's really disheartening. I work out and try a lot...pay attention to what I eat. But I still feel fat, ugly and out of shape. I know it's not going to happen overnight, but...ugh. I dunno.
As is I'm still wearing baggy clothes and gym stuff. I wore "real clothes" the other night and felt like a sausage. :(
Are you weighing and measuring? I weigh (and record) every week. I also (used) to measure once per month (hips, waist, arms, etc).
ReplyDeleteDon't be discouraged. Keep up the hard work and try to find something at the gym that you enjoy (spin class or something?) Or you could try the Couch 2 5K program for running? But always remember that there will be days where you just don't want to go to the gym, even though you know you should...but just power through. :-D Keep it up!!
THANKS ma'am. I am measuring. After every week I weigh myself. I'm going to take my waist measurements once a month and see how that works. So, June 6th ish will be my waist. But over on the side is where I'm recording what my starting weight and milestones are. Hopefully we'll see a continued decrease in numbers! :)
