So this week started a new adventure of working out for me. Monday and Wednesday mornings I do a little kickboxing (love it) then Tuesday and Thursday morning some running and Monday and Wednesday nights I co lead a weights class (love it)
So I keep on trucking along! Hoping for more results but all in all finding a better relationship with God because I surely couldn't do this alone. He has helped me get up faithfully and be at classes and He is now using me to help lead a class so hopefully I can help others get on this path of excersise! Tuesday I ran 2 miles. The most I have ran without stopping! I felt great...after I would have wanted to just keep running. Today, Thursday I ran my 2 miles and then wanted to atleast do another 1/2 mile and so I ran/walked it!!!! Still felt great about it! Now lets get the food intake down!
Last night someone told me (while talking about what we eat) "plus to me putting in that much time is just a waste if I'm not eating right" SO TRUE! Why put in all the working out, all the running, and weight training to ruin it by eating all this food I know is not helping me. Today I learned that running a mile is only buring 100 calories :/ boo! So I don't wanna have to run to just burn the calories of uneeded food...I wanna burn the calories of fat that I need to get rid of!
Any comments or ideas to help are always appreciated :) Or if you know of any other blogs that focus on dieting/working out just let me know :)
You are doing great!!!! And don't be discouraged about just burning 100 calories per mile. You are doing tons of other activities. You are amazing. You are doing everything right!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove you!!!
You need to go back and read your first blog about running a mile and then read this one. I don't remember what exactly it says but I bet if you read that difference you WILL feel encouraged! I started Weight Watchers last month and what has helped me is recording everything.. kind of like a food journal. You'll notice those little things that you pick up here and there (like the candy off Karla's desk in the resource center!) and I don't want to record more than I have to so I just think, I don't really need that right now. Another thing I've done to replace the "snacking" is snacking on fruits and veggies, like grapes and green peppers and cucumbers (those are the only two veggies i really eat!). And I've been eating this AWESOME salad at lunch that is barely any calories.. I just know to measure things out, like the cheese and bacon bits and croutons. And I throw on some chicken and salsa (since that's all veggies its definitely better than dressing!). Don't be discouraged though.. it's not something that you can change over night, but you can start small and work it up that way!
ReplyDeleteOH. and drinks! Something I've also learned.. I HATE drinking away calories. Water has become my new friend. 64oz a day of it to be exact.
I love you girl! Keep up the GREAT work you're doing!!
The length of that looks like I wrote a blog on your blog :)
