I Did Not Work Out Yesterday

THERE! I said it! I didn’t go to the gym yesterday. I can try to make excuses left and right and cry about how TOM arrived and I always feel uncomfortable at the gym when it’s day one but does that stop you ladies? I wasn’t in immense pain. I wasn’t light headed. I had no head ache. I was fine to go and at least power walk on the treadmill. And I didn’t do it. Moving on.

Today was a good day. I had work from 9 - 7 but I got out at 5 because Indranie skipped the gym classes she was going to go to. Work went smoothly. The new girl came in. She’s nice and funny. I think she’s going to fit right in.

Food was pretty decent today. I’ve been doing good with keeping portions at a minimum and really making an effort to stay away from junk, especially when I’m just bored and looking for something to chew. My meal plan today was:

Not bad. I’d say calories were probably around 1400 or so. Maybe less. Not too sure on the pizza calories. Most of my days have looked like this. I feel satisfied at the end of the night. Sometimes a little too satisfied what with my sweet tooth at the end of the night. Tends to make me feel a little bit guilty, actually. Hmm. There is no reason for guilt though, I think. I did not gorge myself tonight on candy. I had one serving of m&m’s and a few tootsie rolls. I need to come to terms with the fact that it’s O.K.

I think I’m going to take a look at my work schedule for next week. I’ll write up a plan and make sure to stick to it. I’ll pick four days out of the week to get to the gym for at least 30 minutes. Whether it’s after work or before work. It’s something that needs to be done. Perhaps I’ll also pick two nights out of the week to do my Denise Austin - Fat Burning Yoga. I really enjoyed it the last time I did it.

Okay! I’m feeling motivated again. I put on a tank top today with my black stretchy pants and I’m noticing the tube around my stomach coming back. It’s just a tube of fat. Nothing attractive or useful in it. Just a tube of fat making me feel sluggish, unhealthy and simply …fat. Need to stop.

Bed will be early tonight as I didn’t get much sleep last night. Have a great night, ladies.

- Nikki

    One of the things that really helps me w exercise is exactly what you’re doing - planning the sessions around my schedule for that week. I now do this on Fridays, and try to make getting to the gym on Sat & Sunday non-negotiable, meaning I only need to find 2 days during the week. Some weeks it doesnt work, but just the effort of sitting down & planning really helps.

    Oh my gosh Nikki! I know exercise is so important. And you’re right, regarding your comment on my journal, “just do it”. BUT, getting to that is so hard. Don’t beat yourself up. You have to go with the flow and keep pushing forward.

    I had to stop logging this time around. I get so frustrated with counting calories. I’m trying to go by how I feel, concerning food intake. I realized that I lose even if I don’t work out, as long as I eat healthy. But I had an extra 19 pounds to lose. I have gained 2 pounds back since. Sigh.

    Glad to see you’re connecting with 3FC again. I think that keeps us going!

    *hugs*

    I read somewhere that weightloss is 80-90% diet and 10-20% exercise so it looks like you are eating relatively heatlhy so don’t beat yourself up for not exercising.

    Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. I try to be enthusiastic and motivated so I don’t lose focus.
