Eating experiment
Apr 24 2009 12:44

So the food side of it is going okay - I'm still eating a few bad things, but even those are mostly good quality (if high calorie) baked goods, and less packaged nutrionally-void garbage.

I haven't weighed myself yet as I'm going to wait until my period finishes so I can get a true sense of how I'm doing.

Now, however, I want to start focusing on the exercise.  I was doing really great before going to Jamaica, getting on the eliptical every day, even if it was only for 10-20 min.  Most days was at least 30 min.

But, since I've been home, I've been pretty bad - I've hardly worked out once!  So, my next step is to get back on the machine, again telling myself to just do 5-10 min at a time, throughout the day, and that even 5 min is better then nothing.  Nothing puts me off exercise more then the thought of a 40 min stint all at once lol.

I also know I need to up the weights.  All I have at my house is 5lbs weights which are next to useless for all but 1 or 2 exercises.  I won't be checked out to use the free gym at work for another couple of weeks though, which is frustrating.  I'd buy heavier weights, but if the gym is going to be available to me soon, I'd rather save my money.

So, I think I'll just focus on the cardio for the next 2 weeks and get in the gym as soon as I possibly can for the weight side of it.

I have no idea if I'm going to be able to make my goal of 15 lbs before my sister's wedding at the end of May, but even if it's only a few lbs, I have to keep remembering that it's all a step in the right direction.

If only I wasn't trying to lose weight I've already lost once before.  That's so depressing lol.
