I spent the morning in bed trying to fend off a stomach bug so I didn't make it to the gym until about 12. I forgot to take my vitamins before I went to the gym so my workout was pretty pathetic today and honestly it pissed me off. First I walked to the gym... nice warm up. When I got to the gym things started out ok... I was all set to do 50 minutes on the bike again... however around 30 minutes I started getting bored. I only ended up doing 40 minutes on the bike. I found enough energy to do the elliptical machine... I set it for 15 minutes all set to actually accomplish it but then things started going down around 3 minutes. I started to get light headed and dizzy... I only ended up doing 6 minutes (1 of those minutes was going backwards... that is actually really hard) I left the gym angry at myself for not being able to push myself. I took the long way home for my cool down. When I got home I was pissed and disappointed in myself. How am I ever going to get this weight off if I don't push myself? I figured I was going to be stuck at 217.6 forever... I decided since I was already in a bad mood I might as well weight myself... I was DOWN 2 lbs since yesterday!!! That lifted my mood a lot. I'm now at 215.6... so close to 215 by the 1st!!!! However, I felt like I still needed to work out some more today so around 5:30 I bundled Ava up and Ben, Ava and I all went for a family walk. We ended up going for an hour and 10 minute walk around the neighborhood!!!! :) It felt so good and made me not feel so guilty for having tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner.
Another issue that I ran into today was the my 1 Diet Coke actually tasted good today. I have 4 more Diet Cokes left before I'm done with Diet Coke for a while at least. I have discovered that I like the taste of Crystal Light so I plan on replacing my one non-water drink with Crystal Light. I'm also hoping to aquire a taste for tea... I'm really picky about my tea though it can't be bitter or taste like tea!! :) I seem to gravitate more to fruit teas... guess I will have to go tea shopping!!!
I'm hoping to have a better day at the gym tomorrow. I'm afraid maybe I'm getting burned out on the gym...which is not a good thing this early. Cardio just gets so boring when you do it all the time... it seems like the same thing over and over again. I need to find a good book to hold my interest. I'm trying to get into The Hunger Games but am having a hard time. I don't know why maybe because so many people have told me that it is a fantastic book maybe I have my hopes too high. No matter what I have to keep going!!! I was told that it takes 6 weeks to notice any difference... that is a long time but I have a long way to go... 80.6 lbs! This time I have to do it though... no turning back... no stopping.
Let the lbs melt!!!
