Ate 2000+ calories yesterday. Scale went down this morning.
Just looked up some recipes. I wish I had time right now but I gotta run off to work. Legit no protein in the house hahaa. And I couldn’t pick up any fresh chicken breast at the grocery. Everything was too damn expensive. I think I’m going to take a break from working out today. I felt kind of sore this morning. So yeah.. that’s a good idea. Hopefully after work I’ll have time to make these bean patties! Kind of excited.
But what should I eat nowwww??? >.< Already had eggs this morning. So that’s ruled out. Sigh. I hate being stuck in situations like this.
I miss my flatter stomach. LOL. I’m like FINALLY starting to notice how it changed. Now it feels like the weight I gained went straight to my stomach. It’s a weird feeling.
Or maybe it’s just in my head? Maybe I’m simply being more conscious of it so it looks bigger than it looked while I lost weight.
IDK I feel like I’m pregnant. I can’t even properly suck it in. It does nothing. -___- Perhaps I’m just bloated. IDK. But I want my old stomach back. LOLO. Oy.
It’s nearly 12:30 at night and I just finished cooking my favourite homemade turkey patties.
Last night I went to bed lateish (a bit past 1… I’m not completely sure.) My parents kept arguing upstairs which kept me up. Woke up around 7:30 to get ready for class. I did hit the snooze button for an extra 20min, but surprisingly I actually felt fine. These past couple of nights I’ve been waking up easily ready to start my day. It’s a shocker!
Left my house at 8:30 to go to class. Today wasn’t too bad. But 4 hours of chemistry is going to get old REALLY fast. I’m hoping I can keep up. Something new I tried this morning was actually boiling my oatmeal! It came out so much better and more filling. I think this will be my new usual. I made the mistake of not eating at home though, and just packed my breakfast. I didn’t get to eat until the first break (2 hours later! oops). Won’t be making that mistake again. But yeah, we get two 10min breaks which I like. I’ve figured out that I’ll probably eat a little bit of my breakfast at home (I’m not typically that hungry anyway). Then nosh on the rest during break. Either that or I’ll eat breakfast at home, and pack lunch to eat during second break. (The class is from 9AM-1PM). Not sure yet. I’ll have to test the waters and see how my appetite adjusts.
So yeah, class wasn’t too bad. It’s only a 6-week summer course which means less chemistry that I have to endure through!! :))
After class I came home and ate the last of my eggplant parmesan! YUMM. Kind of wanted to go to the track and jog for a bit but I got called into work. Went there for a few hours to do some important paperwork. Tried eating an apple with peanut butter but I was surprisingly FULL. And I only had like 100 calories up to that point! This is very rare. I think it’s because I ate a lot of fat today (~30% fat) which left me completely satiated. I honestly could have eaten nothing else for the rest of the day and been completely fine. But alas… I must eat my calories!
Especially because I went to the gym after. I was excited! You’ll never guess how hugely disappointed I felt when I got on the elliptical and my ipod died, I left my phone at home, AND the TV/RADIO thingy wasn’t working on the machine. AHH. I was really tempted to go home right at that moment. Buttttt I started working out, told myself to at least warmup and do like 15min of it and then just lift weights. But I stuck it out and did a full hour with no music omgosh. IDK what was even going through my head, no idea what I thought about during the entire time hahahaaaa. BEST OF ALL? I gained strength in my legs! My cal/hr burn on a particular setting is typically ~940-980 with good effort, I can go above 1K if I really push myself. But today it consistently stayed ~1069-1130. Which is freaking awesomeeeee because it means my legs are stronger. Then I went and did a round of weights. :3 I feel great right now!
Then I decided to cook those patties because I wanted to have something to eat tomorrow, and I know I wouldn’t have any other time. Yeah I should be in bed, but oh well. Busy busy busy! My day basically went from good, to irritating because of something, to good again. :)
Can’t wait to sleep. Hopefully I’ll be able to fall asleep quickly. Gonna post my input/output really quick and then I’m off to bed. Totally expecting a huge gain on the scale in the morning HELLO WATER RETENTION. I ain’t even mad. Good night!
I encourage everyone to add that to their workout routine if you jog around a track or have access to one. Make sure they’re sturdy, concrete steps… not the metal shakey kind LOL.
Ahhh my calvesss. Only completed half my mile today because my legs are no longer in the condition they were. And it’s hot. And the pollen count right now is HIGH, my seasonal allergies please go away. So that didn’t help. Walked around the track for a few laps and did a few rounds of running up and down the steps. IT WORKS MY CORE SO HARD. I started feeling nauseous (probably didn’t help that I ate salad about 30min prior).
Going to hit the gym later in the evening to make up for it.
It’s so gorgeous out!! I just wish it wasn’t so hott (nearly 80). Dear 65-70 degree weather, please come back.
Hope you all are having a wonderful Saturday!
LOL, no.
I wish it was $10 cheaper. But I think it’s worth the splurge to use once a month. It’s certainly not 100% accurate, but I think it’s a good baseline tool. :) I used it once at LA Fitness during my training session and it seemed to work okay. It gave a reading of 5% less than what my scale at home reads so shrug. Not too far off.
I just had cereal for the first time in foreverrr. Mmmm honey bunches of oats with almonds <3 Used to be one of my favourites :3 Feeling like it’s going to be a good day! It’s gorgeous out. I’m hoping I’ll be able to pick up my new glasses today. :3 Excited for that. I got these: http://www.coolframes.com/?fid=19067 in Light Brown. The lense shape looks weird in those photos, It’s more rectangular not really curved at the bottom IDK. But the brown matches my eyes and hair well. :) Classes start on Monday! ahh. May, slow the hell down.
I’m off to work! Hope you guys have a wonderful day :*
GUYS!! I’m so proud of myself for the first time in a whileeeee. Chemistry is my WORSTTTTTT subject. I’ve dropped it 2 times already because I was doing horribly. I has been a long time since I took any chem course, so I was required to take a placement test for it. I’m taking the course in the summer (stars Monday). I was worrying that if I don’t pass this placement exam that I won’t be able to take the course in the summer, which would mean I would need to take a prerequisite course for it in the fall, which would push me back basically an entire year!
BUT I PASSED! I FREAKINGGGG PASSED IT!! I was soooooo nervous. I kind of knew what I was doing, but I kept second guessing myself. It was so nerve racking. I’m just really proud I was able to do it.
And now I’m kind of excited for this summer’s courses because I want to get these classes over with as quickly as possible. :)) ahhh glkdfhglkjdlkgdf. Gym time to get rid of my nerves! So happy. :)) Getting my academics back on track where they should be.
TBH I hate how every other site says something different. TIMES Health and a few other reputable sources claim 6.5-7.5, a few other claim 5-6, a few others claim 7-8, and a few others claims 7-9. So which is it?! LOL.
And is an hour REALLY that big of a difference?
IDK. But I’ve been doing some digging because my sleep cycle has been off lately. I wake up completely in a fog every morning. And at night I have trouble falling asleep. And I’m tempted to always take a nap. For example yesterday I was wide awake at 1AM (went to bed around 2) woke up around 9:10ish… my head was in a daze. I could barely focus driving to work ~10… seriously. It was bad. Today I took a nap earlier for 2 hours I think. And now I’m wide awake and it’s 12. I’m going to try to go to bed right now and set my alarm for 7:30. That should put me in the 6.5-7hr window. =\ But like, I just know I’ll have trouble getting out of bed. I normally press the snooze button like 10 times before finally crawling out. I know if I didn’t set an alarm then I could EASILY sleep for 10-12 hours before naturally waking up. IDK. I didn’t have this problem last month! Arg. Frustrating. I hope I figure it out ASAP.
