Weird Week!

This last week was finals! I only worked out on Sunday and Monday, and both were extreme cardio days. I didn’t want to work out before or on the days of my finals because I would probably be too tired to do well on them. I felt hungry all day everyday this week. I probably ate twice the amount of food I usually do. I felt guilty eating so much, but my body was telling me to eat!

This week is going to be interesting. I am planning on going to the gym Mon, Tues, and Wednesday. Christmas is Thursday, and I leave for Hawaii at 6:40am on Friday! Coming back the 1st! I have a doctors appointment on Jan. 6th so the doctor can figure out why my wrist has been hurting so badly!

Throughout high school I was constantly thinking about joining the military. Back in high school I weighed 280 pounds and couldn’t do a push-up or run a mile! Now it’s been a year and a half since I’ve graduated and I’m down to 168 pounds! I can do many push-ups, sit-ups, and can run nonstop for about 4-5 miles. Well, the military is now back on the table! I’m talking to friends who are currently in the military and just getting out. I’m thinking either the Navy or the Air Force. Now I am training at the gym, getting my body ready for possibly going to boot camp this summer. 

Weighed in day: 168 Pounds! -2 pounds

(weird, I ate a lot of food this last week)

Scale Day!

After a absolutely awesome week in the gym, but not an awesome week of eating, I gained 2 pounds. I really screwed up! But we learn from our mistakes, and now I’m back to making a chart of what to eat everyday. These last 10 pounds are not coming off very easily. I feel as if I have to workout extra extra hard in the gym, and eat less and less. I’m trying to figure out how much extra I should be eating when working out so hard, it can be difficult at times.

Finals are this week so I am going to do something kinda new. I am going to workout Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Friday. I usually have the weekends be rest days, but I don’t want to workout the day before my finals.

On to another week!

Starting to Notice a Difference

I had an exhilarating workout yesterday. Started on a long warm up on the elliptical, hit the weights for a upper body circuit workout, then ran 2.5 miles, and finished up with abs and stretching. 

I increased my weights! Starting to notice some definition in my legs and upper body!

Attempting to continue eating healthy. It’s really hard when the parents come home from Costco with a lot of junk food. Been eating a lot of oatmeal, and sandwiches.

It’s the week before finals and I’ve been studying a lot. I’m going to try to workout 3-4 times next week. We’ll see how it goes.

Later today I am going back to the gym for a lower body workout and a lot of cardio. Then I’m going to sit in the jacuzzi for awhile and let my body relax. It’s going to be a good day,

Sunday

I had an awesome week! I was able to hit the gym 3 times for 3 very intense workouts. I’ve decided that the NOVA program is not going to work for me right now because of school. I will continue to run at the gym! I had a great weekend, my friend Paul and his girlfriend Grace were in town and we went out to lunch. I did eat some chinese food, but it’s okay! Remember that this is a change in lifestyle. I hardly every eat chinese food, so it was nice to have a treat.

I weighed in today at 168 Pounds!

Things are going well, and I’ve seen progress at the gym.

Remember to STAY STRONG!
