Today, I went to the gym, and did all of the machines as well as 33 minutes on the elliptical machine. Go Me!I My goal is to get up to 45 minutes. I get very obsessed with the numbers on the cardio machines. Five minutes feels like ten when you just stare at the seconds ticking by on the clock. I did get to try out my new ipod while working out. I have never had one before. It is a really cool gadget, and believe it or not, it actually helped the time go by for me. I just loaded it with all the songs I could think of that get me going. I am so eclectic in my music that there was an array of various stuff. If one song was not doing it for me, I found one that did. It really helped the last 10 minutes on cardio.
I truly HATE to exercise! It is so unpleasant to me in every way! It is also very hard on me because of my size. It takes so much energy just to do it, and I’m so ashamed of that! I should have never let myself get so out of shape. I hurt now as a result! lol But I did it, and I will go back on Thursday and do it again. This time, though, I’ll go longer…even if only by a few minutes. This is me trying to use the power of positive thinking lol
I did okay on the eating stuff too, but there is lots of room for improvment. Im trying to change up my household food items to more healthy stuff. My husband is thin, and neither of my kids seem to have a weight issue. Therefor, I still have to keep some junk in the house for them. The target foods that seem to set me off into an eating bindge are gone though. Right now, it is out of site, out of mind for me. I am trying to educatte myself on new ways eat healthy. Luckily, my husband is very supportive of my attempts, and has agreed to experiment with new types of foods, and low calorie meals. www.allrecipes.com has an awesome section dedicated to healthy stuff. I was blown away at how yummy some of that stuff sounded. This is going to be a good learning experience for me as a cook as well because I have never experimented with things like that. I am also buying things for me like turkey bacon, skim milk, ground turkey and pork (and less red meat), and v8 fruit fushion lite juice because it is suppossed to have a full serving of fruit and vegetables in an 8 oz glass. I drink a glass in the morning so I can start out my system with the good stuff. I does kind of have a weird after-taste though.
Anyhow, thats about it for now. I will weigh myself in 2 weeks, and plan to see some results!
