All I want is for the scale to move. That's it! I mean, the nice thing is it hasn't moved in the "wrong" direction. And I know, it's not about numbers and all that jazz. I do "feel" better but I want to start looking better too. I've cut out soda, drink pretty much nothing but water, watch my calories, work out on a pretty regular basis now, and nothing. It's just frustrating and I know plenty of you out there have felt the same way when going on a journey like this. And that's the thing, I know it's something that takes time but that's dumb. This post is more of a rant than anything. I know this is just part of the cycle of trying to make changes. I hope everyone else is hanging in there too with their health goals. It's not easy guys, but we got this. ... Continue Reading...
Check Out These Nerdy Workout Tops From Activate Apparel!
It's the little thing in life that motivate my ass to get to the gym. The little things like fun shirts from Activate Apparel! I honestly don't know how I found them. I think I did a search for "nerdy workout shirts" and they popped up. I've already bought two tanks from them and can't wait to buy more. These are the two tanks I have. If you're thinking about ordering I'd go a size up. I went with a large and it fits pretty good. I think a medium might have been a little snug. It all comes down to personal comfort though! I like my shirts to be a little loose when I'm working out. Plus my boobs get in the way. They don't have just tanks though. They offer tees and sweatshirts too! It doesn't matter what kind of workout you do either, running or weights. They have something fun for ... Continue Reading...
One Month Done!
It's been about a month since I started using MyFitnessPal again and started hitting the gym. I didn't make it to the gym as often as I had liked, life happens, but something is better than nothing. Here's what I burned in the month of January! 1/7: 34 Minutes/298 Calories 1/9: 52 Minutes/534 Calories 1/10: 47 Minutes/470 Calories 1/14: 48 Minutes/430 Calories 1/16: 57 Minutes/530 Calories 1/23: 30 Minutes/241 Calories 1/28: 42 Minutes/408 Calories 1/30: 36 Minutes/317 Calories All of that was done on the elliptical. I love that machine! As you can see I try to do at least 30 minutes but a few times I almost made an hour. It's funny, as much as I don't like people, I find that gym time passes faster when I have someone to talk to. Sometimes there's a coworker on the machine ... Continue Reading...
Back To The Gym
I think I'm going to rejoin a gym. I was a member at Gold's for awhile but cancelled it earlier this year because I never went and it was a waste of money. Now that I have an awesome vacation coming up and a few extra pounds around the midsection, I think it's time to suck it up and join another gym. I won't be going with Gold's this time around. I scored a sweet deal the first time I signed up but it was still almost $25 a month plus the large sign up fee. While the gym was awesome, I was paying for things I didn't use like the classes they offered. I would've loved to take a class but the latest seemed to be around 6pm everyday and with work and traffic, I'd barely make it. Instead I think I'm going to go with Planet Fitness. It's only $10 a month will a small sign up fee or I can pay ... Continue Reading...
