lose weight

I’m feeling a lot better than I was a couple of days ago – I met a friend yesterday and we ran for more than an hour (planning to go running with her more often), and while I was completely and utterly drained afterwards, I felt good about talking to someone, and also just seeing that losing weight doesn’t have to be a pain, and can be quite enjoyable…

Having skipped weight training yesterday I did it this morning after my 35 minute run in the forest right after school, and I’m feeling a lot better about things at the moment…

Things are slowly looking good, and I’m feeling thin, healthy and I’ve noticed that even in the 5 days I’ve been sticking to my program I’ve become quite a bit fitter – In 2 days a whole week has already passed!

I’m feeling terrible today – I did my 35 minutes, and I’m sticking to my diet, but I’m feeling demotivated, sad, weak, sick and close-to depressed…

Hopefully just something related to low blood sugar or so, but whatever it is, it’s a crappy feeling, and all I want is this day to be over…

Things outside the weightloss domain just seem to be going wrong – at least that’s the way I see it in my current (compromised) state…

help…

Sticking to my 2000 Calories, and 35 Minute run and feeling absolutely great about it…

My weight training days are saturday, tuesday and thursday, and I stuck to that yesterday, as well!

I’m starting to find it hard to understand why I gave up so easily – once things get rolling it works out pretty smoothly – routine is the key…

Yipee!

Just came back from a 35 Minute run, and I feel great – I ate reasonable amounts up until now, my plan being to stay around 2000 Calories a day, with 3 weight training days per week, and running every day.

I’m feeling highly motivated, and I’m sure I’ll manage this time.

Following things through yesterday didn’t work out – this is harder than it seems.

Still, I managed to get things going today. Did my running, ate reasonable amounts, and I did some weights too – biceps.

The start of what will hopefully be a success this time round…

Where’s my motivation?

Stuffed myself today, and I’m not running, either…
What’s wrong?

I have to get myself back to not thinking too much, and just doing. Hopefully I can follow it through tomorrow…

The only thing that gives me a bad conscience is that I have no good news to post up here when and if I don’t stick to my plan…tomorrow I’ll start following this through until I’m done. End of story.

I’ll be honest – yesterday evening I basically stuffed my face…so much to sticking to my plan.

What I’m doing from today onwards is introducing a little weight training in addition to my running, and keeping my calorie intake at 2000.

I will stick to this plan, and keep updates here.

Seeing as I messed up yesterday, I now view today as the start of this whole thing – Friday’s always a good day, because the weekend is over in no time – 3 days of excercise…

Ran for 30 minutes yesterday and today (plus a 30 minute walk today), and I’ve managed to steadily keep eating reasonable amounts.

I’m feeling great about having stuck with my plans – for me the beginning is the hardest part…things go smoothly from there on.

I’ve already noticed a change in my average heart rate – it’s dropped from over 190 to around 170 – still trying to find a good track to run where I can stay closer to 160.

Was out running for about 35 Minutes today, and I ate less than usual – success!

I managed to keep my pulse between 160 and 180 – still have to find a circuit in the forest that lets me stay nearer to 160, but in total, I’m happy I finally made a start.

Eat less, and go running at least 30 minutes a day at a pulse of around 160 – starting tomorrow!

I’ve done it once before, losing a grand total of 30kg, so this is about losing around 5kg, with the importance being fat loss rather than general weight loss. Hopefully the fact that I want to document it here will act motivating!
