| 10:39a | Tuuuesday. Yesterday I didn't have time to do the weight exercises I intended to do when I finally got home, but I did walk for 40 minutes, not counting my walk to work. I guess that's not too bad considering I had class and everything. That's why it's so important to walk when I have a chance- it's definitely better than nothing, and I can't always gaurantee that I'll have a chance to follow through on my good intentions for later. This morning it's raining like crazy, so I didn't want to run, and D needed to be at class at 8am, so I didn't have the car to get to pilates class, soooo instead I decided to do a DVD. I did about 45 minutes of Denise Austin's Core Complete, which I really like. It's a stability ball-based workout that incorporates weights, and it's fairly challenging. It includes three workouts, core & upper body, core & legs, and core & buns, and I did them all. I also added a few sets of weighted squats, bench press, and rows to make sure I really hit the major muscle groups hard. I'm just glad I got my workout in for today. Also, at work today, I intend to do 30 minutes of walking downstairs in the concourse. Yay! Tomorrow I'm planning on going to the gym. Yesterday's food went really well for the most part. I was seriously tired, so I went to Starbucks and got a green tea latte with skim milk, which was good except that I was convinced, like I always am, that it was sweetened and contained whole milk. I always think the baristas are out to get me. Anyways, I freaked out, so I didn't eat my string cheese. Whatever. I couldn't sleep again last night, so I took an ambien, which...made me kind of loopy, and I guess I didn't recognize it as tiredness maybe? Anyhow, I went to sleep, which was good, but then I woke up at 6, so I guess 6 straight hours is better than what I've been getting, but still, more, like 7 or 8 would have been better. Oh well. I <3 my dog! Now, I'm going to get ready, make dinner, have breakfast, get lunch together, grab tonight's reading for class, and go to work. Blaaaaah. I'll update later on my produce plans for this week's challenge! Like anyone cares! Woo hoo! Current Mood:  accomplished |
| 2:22p | I think I need to do some lists to keep me focused. I'm so damn scattered, and it's so easy for me to just waste time if I'm left to my own devices. Stuff to do: 1. 2. 3. 4. Clean desk. 5. Do reading for tonight's class. 6. Go for 30 minute walk. 7. Clean Stanley's fish bowl. I'm not going to put stuff like eat, sleep, go to class, because those things are...well, I think that's obvious. I'm totally convinced I have ADHD, but I'm too bored with this post to tell you why! Maybe I'll do that tomorrow because me looking the stuff up all over again will just suck me back into the internet, and then I won't get anything done at all. I'm not even going to bother hoping that class will let out early tonight. I always hope, and I always end up disappointed. Today I feel very bloated. I can never decide if I'm eating too much, not eating enough, doing too much cardio, doing too little strength training...I don't even know. Hmph. Okay, so here's today's food plan: Bfast: 2 eggs, 1-2 cups of Swiss chard- At least 2 servings. Lunch: salad w/ turkey breast- About 2 servings. Snack: 1 cup strawberries- 1 serving Snack: low fat string cheese Dinner: casserole bake-1 skinless chicken breast, brown rice, mixed veggies, fat free cream of chicken, low fat cheese- 1 serving Okay, so conservatively, I have 6 servings of fruit/veggies. I also have maybe two servings of dairy, and pleeeenty of protein. Great. As usual, I don't want to go to class. There's this woman in there, and allll she does is talk incessantly about herself and how great she is and about her job and about how she does things and how everything else is wrong, and I just want to choke her. I just need to suck it up though. Seriously. The prof. basically said that everyone gets an A, and I just need to get to December. My friend Jamie sent me pics of her and her fiance, like professional pics. They're great and all, but I'm annoyed because she sent two sizes wallet and 11x12. WTF? My wallet is already bulky without pics, so I don't carry them in there. I keep pics on my ipod, on my desk, or on my phone or camera as far as the away from home type pics, so that makes the wallet pics kind of useless. Then, the 11x12 is huge. My apartment is small, and a pic that huge would dominate pretty much any available surface in my house. Why not a 4x6 or a 5x7? Did she just send out all the good sizes to everyone else, or did she assume I'd want a jumbo picture? Either way, I'm left with a bunch of pictures I can't use, which is sad because I'd like to put up a pic of my friend and her fiance. Annoying! Gah! Already it's later. I have to stop this and do some reading so that I have time to walk! Mwah! Current Mood:  ditzyCurrent Music: Black Mirror, Arcade Fire |
