Workout goals

Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:28:00 EST

Beyond sticking to 600 fitness months a minute (and slowly ramping up to 1000), I'm pretty excited about getting my dance (and kickboxing) fitness game to start throwing the more leg intensive exercises at me (it's a progressive game as far as I can see). I tried some a few weeks ago but I'd like to see them in my premade routine..which means using the game more. 386

Moody moody me

Thu, 1 Nov 2012 21:07:28 EST

Did a short workout video today. I really have to start doing more because I'm so much less of a grouch when I've had my workout. It just lets me get away from everything that bugs me for a few minutes and boy do I need that break sometimes. It also calms me down and energizes me (interesting eh?)

I did take my vitamins today. Probably skimped a little on water (I forget a lot) but I'll have a little more before bed.

I do feel awfully grouchy right now because I broke...

Change your words, change your life.

I used to hate exercise. I absolutely despised it.

It all started right after puberty. I had gained weight and exercise was only about punishing myself for my weight. I kept that same thinking up until fairly recently. I kept it up through the throes of an eating disorder (surprising? I think not.)

Then I started to tell myself something different. I like exercise. It doesn't matter what I weigh. Moving feels good. I am less grumpy with people when I get some in. I am ...

Kind of a cool giveaway

Dear self,

Wed, 3 Oct 2012 17:21:50 EST

If you are under the impression a recipe might have too much sugar than you are probably right. I feel all yucky now (tired, bloated, just blah). I'm not anti-sugar but too much is just too much.

Exercise

Sat, 15 Sep 2012 13:49:07 EST

I have finally gotten consistent. I have made leaps and bounds in my endurance and strength. And I feel it's mostly because I've stopped focusing on my weight.

Binge...reading.

Sat, 11 Aug 2012 13:31:20 EST

I'm really starting to prefer binge reading to binge eating. I haven't done the latter but I'm five books ahead on my reading goal on the former. The best part? I don't feel bad at all about myself.

My secret? I allow anything. I eat enough. That's it. For the reading I've just always read.

Time to change one thing and see what happens.

I always forget...

Sun, 4 Mar 2012 14:54:23 EST

how very much I like to move! I was on an exercise hiatus because I got sick with a lot of upper respiratory issues. Doing a lot better now thankfully.

It all started with dogs running in snow and me wanting to lope along with them. The cold just adds a thrill to being outside to me (I really was meant to live in these northern climes!). Then we went on vacation across the state to Frankenmuth and we walked everywhere, again the cold felt good! We've had too mild of a winter for t...

Getting back in the zone.

Wed, 8 Feb 2012 09:01:09 EST

I've been sleeping a lot again (in place of getting any exercise beyond transporting myself to and from work, I walk) and eating a lot of processed crap. Trying hard to get away from that because you are what you eat and when I eat crap I feel like crap.

Good start this morning with oatmeal, Chobani, and homemade strawberry rhubarb jam. Going to continue into lunchtime with wholegrain bread, tuna, avocado, spinach and just a teensy bit of mayo, plus grapes for snack. Then looking ...

Finally proved to myself...

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:13:08 EST

...that the numbers on the scale aren't the whole picture. I'm steadily weighing in the high 160's yet my waistbands are telling me I've lost some fat. Silly scale.

Real fit lady avoids painful fall - thanks exercise.

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:47:34 EST

I've been workout crazy lately. I'm feeling so good I just don't want to NOT do it. Not losing weight be damned! It is benefiting me obviously as I discovered today. I slipped on the ice coming home (I don't drive so I walk/take public transport unless I'm being driven) and I didn't get hurt. I didn't even fall. It was almost like doing a side squat...Did I mention my love of exercise?

Things I did today.

Sun, 4 Dec 2011 13:31:43 EST

Got myself 30 Day Shred and NYC Ballet Workout, I'm finding that doing workouts in little chunks has the bonus of keeping me awake during the day (thank you Exercise TV On Demand!).

Cleaned off my computer table.

Hopefully I can add finished laundry and homework to the list later.

Still sleeping too much,,,

No answer to fatigue but the numbers are good

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:01:12 EST

I got back my blood test results today and my doctor had written "great!!" on them. I'm glad about that so my question is why would a 28 year old woman in otherwise good health be so tired?

Turning wishes into goals

Thu, 6 Oct 2011 12:57:49 EST

Last night I was sitting in the car with my bf on the way to a restaurant, I was coughing (I have a terrible cold right now) and I thought to myself "I wish I could be in amazing physical and mental health." Then I thought to myself, why I am I wishing and not setting goals? So here we go.

Physical health:
Make sure I'm taking the stairs when I can breathe without hacking.
Get off the bus a stop or so early when I have to take it.
Drink Drink Drink (some of us forget...

Knitting is the most wonderful thing...

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:40:36 EST

I had a drs appointment the other day (I've been having huge problems with fatigue). I was worried that my BP would be high because I just got a new GP and I get a little nervous around doctors that I am not familiar with. It turned out that my BP came in low (low-average, not problematic). I'm pretty sure it had something to do with me knitting in the waiting room. Since trying to give up mindless eating I've been looking for boredom and stress reducers. Recently I've learned to knit and the...

Losing muscle....

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 09:42:50 EST

I was unaware that by being inactive I lose muscle even at my age! What an eye opener. No wonder I feel weaker than I did a few years ago.

The best way to give up unhealthy habits

Fri, 9 Sep 2011 17:43:50 EST

Pay attention to how you feel when you are practising them! This is the best way to take on good habits too. I had pop (soda to you non-Midwestern folk) today because a patron where I work bought me one. Then I came home and ate a little too much of my pound cake (made for a get together tonight, it fell and I wanted to make sure it was ok). After feeling good all day I now feel sluggish and have a horrific stomach ache!! I just hope I feel better by dinner. I had some Pepto Bismol, some wate...

Missing my exercise time!

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 21:29:40 EST

Classes just started again (I'm working on the last year of my associate's degree) and it has taken most of my exercise time from me! When they say going to school full-time is like more than a full-time job they're right! And I don't handle the stress of actual full time jobs very well. With the way things are going I'm gone all day four days a week and most of a fifth. I have classes until 9pm on Monday. This makes for a very tired, very exhausted Kelly at the end of the day. Thankfully my ...

Eating not so healthy things sometimes is ok.

Sat, 27 Aug 2011 13:45:28 EST

I went to Olive Garden the other day and needless to say I overate. But did I let that get to me? NO. Every once in a while I'm going to want white pasta with white sauce, and every once in a while is ok. I get right back on track with my whole grains and my veggie-full sauces without a problem.

Using bad habits to make good ones....or why there is part of a watermelon on my counter.

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:33:02 EST

I've started leaving random fruit on my counters to play into the fact that if its out in the open I'll eat it. And I was right. Everytime I go into the kitchen I catch myself digging up a tablespoon of that melon. I bet it would work with veggies too...must try that.
