go to the gym every day

Yesterday I didnt go. Its not the end of the world. I really enjoyed my day and thats all that matters.

I went for a swim this morning = TICK!

I will be playing hockey tonight = TICK!

:)

I know it’s a terrible thing to do, but I gave up on this goal. I was just too tired to gym today. I slept at almost 4 AM, got up at 7 for my hour-long commute to school. Stayed doing things until 4 when I had another hour of driving. Came home, ate dinner, did some work and then slept from 7 to 9:30.

I’m not beating myself up over this though. I’ve decided to take things in stride recently (well, fairly recently). The facts are that I am excercising/going to the gym. I am eating healthy. I am losing weight, getting toned, feeling fitter. So I’ll just keep on doing what I’ve been doing.

Go me.

Remember when good behavior was given tangible, sticker-based rewards? I miss those days.

Anyway, went to the gym this morning for an hour-long yoga class. I’m really loving yoga now. Can’t believe I just started going to yoga a month ago.

12 to go.

Did an hour thirty on the upright bike (I forget what it’s actually called.) It’s not the best cardio machine, but I wanted to multitask and get some reading done as well. Finished a chapter of Geo and watched most of Space Cowboys. Also, ran into some friends.

Sometimes I think of myself as a Sim character with speciific bars measuring happiness and fulfillment in different areas. So in 90 minutes, I raised my health, knowledge, fun, and social. Or something like that. I haven’t played in years.

This is a minigoal as part of my larger goal to lose 15 pounds and get down to 145 pounds, which would be about normal on my 5’7 frame.

I’ll be heading to Europe on the 2nd, and I want to be as fit as possible before then. So gym it is! Every day, for at least 45 minutes.

I have been going daily for the past two months and am feeling great I have lost a bunch of weight, the exercise has made my body want to change my diet on its own and my fitness is good again. I had broken the exercise cycle before to get surgery and it took me a while to get back into it. I would say start slow but try to have at least one day where it is difficult to walk out of the gym at the end. I also would get a physical first also. My doctor really helped to identify which activities were good for me and which ones would aggravate old injuries.

I’m going to go to the gym every day from tomorrow till September 5. Even if I just go and walk on the treadmill for 5 minutes—I WILL GO.

Maybe after that it will be a habit.

I’m going to weigh myself tomorrow and then on September 5. Goal: lose 6 punds. That’s a pound a week. that’s 52 pounds a year.
