Motivated
So I' still going strong in bootcamp. Today was day 2 of week 3. I can't believe I've almost made it a whole month through! In my mind I had given up before I even started and now I kind of enjoy being up so early. And that's a shocker for someone like me who would sleep til 12p.m if I could everyday.
It has been getting increasingly hard as the weeks progress. This week we have been working as one big group instead of 4 small groups. Also ALOT of people who were there on day 1 are no longer coming...It is tough but I can't quit like that. So we still do 4 sections of plyometrics (SP?) legs, arms, abs and cardio. And you know how in my last post I said I wanted more cardio, well as soon as I came back from the weekend that's exactly what we got, MORE CARDIO! We are now running a mile and we have 10 minutes or less to do it. The first laps are hardest but then I find my pace and it gets easier. I think it wouldn't be so bad if my legs weren't already wobly from the legs workout we do before we run.
Have I progressed? Uh, I'd like to think so. I got on the scale today, after my work out so IDK how accurate the weight was but I was not pleased. I am back to my all time highest weight. How the hell did I get there?! Oh wait, I know...Eating whatever the hell I want when I want. Drinking alcohol almost every weekend during the summer and into the school year. Not excercising at all. Yup, that's exactly how I got my weight back up this high. I won't dwell on it, I did it to myself and now it's up to me to lose it again. I'm soooo tired of this yo-yo weight issue. Gain-lose-gain-lose...It gets OLD! So this time I'm in it for the long haul. I won't have any summer stays where I'm practically living out of my car so that will help. My life is crazy busy but I'm learning and trying my best to still work on my fitness and nutrition.
Today has been VERY productive for me.
Today I accomplsihed: bootcamp from 6:30-7:30 then I left there and came straight home and got to work. I swept and mopped my kitchen and living room floors. I moved the couches and table and swept under those too. I cloroxed the counters, did the dishes and cleaned out the fridge. I also dusted and windexed the furniture in the living room. I started and am almost completely done with my laundry. I didn't stop there I then attacked my room, including my closest. I changed my bed set and straightened my bathroom. I also cleaned off the office desk and through away a lot of things in there we don't need. THEN I went grocery shopping where I bought all healthy stuff. ALL BEFORE NOON!!!!!
I am going back to what I know...I read my food journals from when I was on Weight Watchers and following it exactly. I know that eating those foods and following those guidelines along with exercise helped me lose weight. I'm so embarassed I let myself gain all this weight back. I was WELL into onederland then I just spiraled out of control. It just proves that weight loss is on going. I also realize that journaling here and writing what I eat is VERY important. So I will be doing more of that.
Today is the first day of getting back on track and I think I started out great! Now I'm about to take a quick nap because I've exhausted myself then I'm going to get started on homework. I have to get on track with my school work so I can graduate in May. It's going to be tough because I have to take 21 hours (10 online). I HAVE to do this, I WILL do this!!!
So today has restored my faith and motivation. I will get this weight back down!!!
