Focus T25 - Day 6

Good day. Food was decent. Spent hours cleaning my house. Now to spend all damn night figuring out how to keep Ubuntu connected to the internet. Tomorrow will be a lazy day. I'm going grocery shopping and getting to bed at a decent time because I'll be up early Monday to work out.

Focus T25 - Day 5

Food was decent. No time to update. I'm still fighting with this piece of shit computer and it's inability to stay connected to the freaking internet.

Focus T25 - Day 4

I'm going to have to re-start the exercise program next week. I'll get up in the mornings and do it. Now that I know for sure I can't do them in the evening, I'll be able to plan better.

Food:
coffee w/ half & half & Splenda
stuffed shell, ham & cheese mini croissant, carrots
cereal
out to dinner with friends - I didn't over do it.

Focus T25 - Day 3

I had a peanut butter & nutella sandwich after I blogged last night. Ugh.

No workout again today. I'm going to get up early tomorrow and double up. Oy!

Food:
coffee w/ half & half & Splenda
green beans, cream of potato soup w/ whole grain roll
McDonald's for dinner - Yeah, yeah, I know.

I obviously need to start planning meals and go grocery shopping. I seriously underestimated how much time I'd be spending away from home.

Focus T25 - Day 2

I didn't get my workout in today. I think I'm going to have to shift the schedule around so that I'm taking my rest days during the week. I'll get caught up and normalize my schedule for workouts within 2 weeks. I will work out tomorrow and Thursday, do Friday as written, and do my missed workout on Saturday. I really need to get my workouts in Friday through Sunday. Fridays are doubles anyway. If I do doubles on Saturday and Sunday...that just leaves me with one day during the week that I have to squeeze in 25 minutes. I don't know. It really all depends on what time I get home from work.

Food:
coffee w/ half & half & Splenda
black bean soup, corn medley (this awesome new side dish at work), string cheese
blueberry muffin w/ skim milk
watermelon
cheese

I know, I need to work on my food! I'm just trying not to eat junk food right now. And fortunately, I'm not all that hungry and I'm not craving anything that is generally a trigger. At work, I'm trying to stick to as much unprocessed food as I can.

Focus T25 - Day 1

Woot, woot! I'm back, biatches!!!! My schedule is still crazy. I've put roller derby on hold because of the lack of time to do shit around the house, and what to I do? Extend my hours at work! I'm losing my Sunday hours but we're going to make up for it by working for an hour or so each night during the week. But anyway...

I weighed in yesterday at 158. So my goal is to lose...30 pounds by my 39th birthday (not until May). I didn't take measurements (just remember 43). I'm just going to go by how my clothes feel. I don't have the energy or motivation to deal with numbers, so I won't be tracking calories out, calories in, points or anything like that. I know how to fucking eat. Measuring and weighing will drive me insane.

Today's workout was Alpha Cardio from Shaun T's Focus T25. It completely rocked!! I had to do the modifications the whole time but it was still a good workout. I loved how I felt when I was done. I am looking forward to tomorrow!

Food:
coffee w/ Splenda & half & half
pepperoni pizza & potato skins
crackers w/ cheese

Oh, hai!

I know I've been a total fucking gluttonous sloth this summer. I've been worn out from working, unmotivated with regards to exercise and roller derby and in general, a real disappointment to myself. I don't really have a good reason, other than I'm lazy and just don't care. I need to get my shit together though. I know!! I keep saying that. I've been struggling to find a workout program that fits my crazy schedule. I am off work this week, but I go back to 7 days a week starting next week. That will last for about a month, then I'll be down to working 6 days a week until Memorial Day, then who knows.

I miss lifting, but I don't want to dick with setting up weights, so I'm going to do Shaun T's new Focus T25. It's just 25 minutes a day, five days a week - except on Double Fridays, when it's two workouts. I've been watching the workouts and they look fantastic. And I love the hell out of Shaun T. He is fun to watch, motivating, easy on the eyes. So I'm starting T25 on September 1. Well, September 2. It's a 14 week program, and there's a hybrid schedule that I'm going to tack on at the end, so T25 will take me through January 4. I'm determined to do it this time. I'll be back to blogging, and my girl Melty will be doing it with me from a distance, as usual.

So, here's to yet another attempt to get back in shape. Never give up, never surrender.
