3/90

Today was a good day for food an exercise.

I hit all my targets on my Samsung watch which include burning 500 cals thru activity, being active for 12 hours, exercising for an hour, and walking 15k steps (I hit 19k+ today wooo).  I know that the trackers aren't as accurate as we’d like, but it helps keep me on the mindset to move even if the numbers aren’t as high as I’d hope.  Regardless, my diet was good today.  Hit under my calorie goal by about 100 maybe so the exercise probably took a bit off too. I’m ok with that because I’m gonna have my high calorie days tomorrow and Saturday so this is giving me wiggle room to eat a lil more if I need to later.  For example, I’m going to an Indian restaurant with a coworker tomorrow and I have no idea how to gauge the calories other than to avoid high cal stuff like breads and rice.

The only real worry factor for me right now is my stress since I know it can impact weight loss like sleep.  Work got super freaky and my body just feels stressed.  The short story is I think my lesbian coworker has a crush on me.  She’s super weird in awkward in how she communicates so she wrote me this long ass bizarre letter about how I don’t talk to her as much as I used to (because I’m fucking busy) and this long ass explanation about how she thinks she messed up and other weird shit.  It made me mad and it made me feel violated and I could feel my body react to these feelings. Hopefully I can avoid her and she’ll get the hint to leave me alone because I’m too busy with work and exercise to get distracted with weirdness.

(ok I need to get pictures in here eventually)

Today was definitely better on the diet component, but not on the exercise one :(  I did a little bit of glute work and just a bit of walking.  I wanted to go to the gym at lunch, but got caught in a conversation at lunch with someone at work so I missed my window to go to the gym.  I wanted to go after work, but my boss put me in a 2hr meeting that, of course, true to his nature, went over the time limit so I left really late haha. 

BUT I was still able to get a smidge under my calorie target for today so that’s good.  Tomorrow will be a low day too for me, but I’ll also have a training session and will gym in the morning too so I can probably add a bit of calories too. 

Nothing else special to report with food today.  No candy today and ate everything I planned to eat.  I just wished I could move more.

So my bloat is still in full effect and the period is still rocking me on the inside lol.  I don’t want to weigh myself during this time because it’s not accurate and I don’t want to get discouraged.

I had a lot of cucumber today, yay, and some light protein snacks along the way, but no full meals because i was busy in meetings and work so I didn’t get to really sit down and eat.........

Actually I did, but it was because my coworker John brought leftover turkey from his birthday dinner and we ended up having an impromptu Friendsgiving at work.  I had a bit of turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce which was soooooooo good and worth it.  Being with coworkers and my boss was also fun to just talk and have an early Friendsgiving.  

So my good foods I had:

-orange -lots of cucumbers -pork jerky -kale soup with turkey meatballs

Bad foods: -vanilla tootsie rolls (2) -Trader Joe’s Greek Yogurt Egg Nog flavor

The egg nog yogurt was sooooo worth eating though!!! NO REGRETS.

Exercise: - 1hr stride elliptical machine: watch said I burned 600 cals - Personal training session doing back work (idk how much for that) -walked about 30 mins during break at work

I could have done better with the food, yes, but I didn’t do nearly as bad as I do before.  This is an exercise in balance and restraint. Having 2 vanilla tootsie rolls a day is not a big deal with the amount of exercise I do.....I mean I wouldn’t eat 2 pieces a day lol but just to know it’s not that big of a deal.  I also exercised a lot so it’s really not a big deal.  I didn’t need to have the egg nog yogurt either but I did to treat myself as a post workout snack. 

I lost track of my calories, but I would estimate somewhere around 1500-1600.  I’m just going to consider today a higher calorie day (per my first post) so tomorrow I’m going to target 1200-1275 calories so I’m still on target for staying in a deficit. 

ANYWAY not the start I thought, but the good thing is I’m feeling good and not at all guilty for failing like I usually do, because....well, I didn’t fail!!!

On to Tuesday!

Pre-Journey Post

Hi!

This post is intended to do a bit of an overview on what I plan to be doing and what will be going on for me to get ready for daily blogging.  

SO I actually just started my period which is obviously not the best physical state to be in for a fitness journey start.  I’m not moody or anything, but I’m bloated A F.  I don’t think I’ve ever been this bloated before.  My gut is sticking out more than I’ve ever felt haha.  I reeeeeally don’t want to go to work tomorrow because of it AND I have to go personal training session.  It’s going to be super tough to do because I haven’t gone to the trainer in a while and my body hurts because of the period.....ugh.  Oh well.  I’ll have to deal with it! No pain no gain!  I just don’t want to waste a session.

Also, I’m going to visit family in Mexico on the first week of December so I know daily weigh ins and blogging isn’t going to be 100% accurate or consistent, but hey what are ya gonna do.  I’m going to try to stay away from carbs and flours while I’m there since I won’t be able to track as well and I won’t be eating large portions or lots of servings and go minimal.  

I will be eating 1500 calories every week to remain in a deficit and will try to do some calorie cycling to start.  For me, that will look like eating 1200 calories daily and on the days where I will be eating out with friends or staff etc., I’ll be shooting for 1800 calories so I remain in a deficit by the end of the week. My goal is to be stronger and I want to recomp my body and look stronger.  During the spring quarter at UCD (where I work) I want to take a martial arts class and train through the spring and summer quarters.  

My biggest overall goal is to lose weight so I can stop being on this “weight loss” mindset that makes me over do my eating or get bored/annoyed of exercise.  I’d love to go when I can, enjoy the gym, be confident in the gym, and gain back time that I lose from going to the gym so much right now, but my diet is super fucked up.  Well, anyway, HERE WE GO!!!
