Before After

I feel fluffy

LOL!    Wouldn't this be nice?

I feel fluffy today.   I don't feel fluffy from overeating, I feel fluffy from barily eating.  Does that seem as weird reading it as it does for me writing it?  I don't understand that, but I've been told it's true. 

On an empty stomach, I started my day with what I've been told is a 4 -5 hundred calorie burn spinning class.  I also worked all day which requires me to walk.

So, by 5:00 pm I had been up for 12 hours.  By that time I had eaten 3 egg whites scrambled, 1/2 cup reg oatmeal for breakfast, and a chicken salad with no dressing and a couple crackers for lunch.  That's it.

The above mentioned food MIGHT be 700 calories total?????  (I'm not a calorie counter so that number might be a little off)

Guess what?  I was tired when I got home.  (go figure) It took quite a bit of effort to not just eat everything in the cubbards.    I was not TRYING to not eat, I just didn't plan.  I got busy at work and didn't have anything there to eat.  Grabbing something from the gift shop or vending machine were my choices.

 I'm thankful  I can control myself and not just eat whatever in those situations. (Most times, not always)  I will drink a ton of water to deal with the hunger pains until I can get something, but it's not good to put my body at such a deficit. 

This happens often. I really need to work on it.  I think this is what is causing me to not make big gains (of losses) for the effort I put in. 

Dh explains this best by saying my effort -vs- results lately is like a "locamotive in a swamp."

Anyway...

Like I shared above, I was up and at the gym by 0530 again today.  Spinning class was great! 

On base the classes are definately nice, but at this gym it's like what you see on TV.  The instructor is elevated on a bike in front of the class, she has a headset on to give instructions like cardio coach, and the coolest part is they turn the main lights off and turn these cool blue lights on.  They almost are like black lights, but not.  I don't know, very different. 

Am happy to start October with a strong workout.   

Consistency for September was good.  I missed yesterday of all days. The last day of the month.  Grrr... 

Ended the month with an exercise average of 96% though, and I'm cool with that.  

Hope the EP pages load for me today, and I can get out to check on you.

"talk" soon.

Awesome!

You are right:  what a great start to the month!  Sounds sorta fun too.

Glad EP is loading for me, now I can finally make my way to your pages and visit.

Have a great rest of the week!

Cool

Wow, the spinning classes sound soooo Cool!!!  I'm so happy for you!!

Your doing Great, with a 96%!!!!  That's just Awesome!!

Being more hungry is a good sign!!!  Means your body is really burning those nasty Fat Cals!!!!  the spinning classes are Working!!!!!

96%

Is an in my book......man do I ever wish there was a tent like that around here!

96% is great

Well done!

Percentage

Girl, that is an awesome percentage.  Are you proud of yourself?  Because I sure am. 

Thanks for all the information. I'm going to check out that website now!

Wonderful

What a great percentage!  I am keeping track now of my workouts.  I would enter them into calorieking but now i have them on a calendar.  i did this at the beginning of the year and it was great to look back from week to week and see what I was doing when, say, I lost 3 pounds in a week!

And, yes, be sure to eat or your body will go into starvation mode and hold onto every calorie it can.  You know better :)

Spinning away

See you at 5 am, well, I will be thinking about you at 5 am when I go in for spinning
