No entries for a while - I guess I haven't had anything to say. I had an entry idea kicking around in my head a week or two ago, but I didn't have time to work on it. It was about how it seems like I get hot easier now? And I'm not sure if that's a result of starting to workout, or if I'm approaching menopause age (41, not too young), or what. And then the weather cooled down to the 50s, and I stopped getting sweaty just walking around, so that idea isn't even pertinent anymore. :)
Things are coasting along pretty well, I guess. I have been horrible with my food - eating a ton of junk that I don't need. I've kept up the exercising, though. I couldn't go to the gym on Monday, because I forgot to put socks in my gym bag (I thought I would be wearing a pair, but then I wore flats that don't require socks), and I can't workout without socks, eww, gross. But I went home and used our treadmill, which sucks so I only did 11 minutes on it, and then I finished my time on the exercise bike. So at least I did still get my heart rate up and made myself sweat. I need to find my strength for the food, though. The junk has to go.
Really, what I need to do is make myself use the Spark People site again. I haven't been doing that, because I'm so sick of recording every little thing I eat. I might need to just suck it up, though.
I also need to start working out on Tuesdays and Thursdays at home. I haven't done that at all yet. I'm kind of ashamed of myself. (And that is why going to the gym the other three days is so important.)
So that's all the diet and exercise news I have to share, and it's really not much. :) Other than that, life is going fine, I guess. Work isn't being fun, and I really think I missed my calling in life big time. I should be working as a veterinary technician, or at least working in a vet office in some capacity. Animals are my passion - what I'm doing now isn't really even an interest. So that's something to work on changing in the future. For now, though, I feel kind of stuck where I am. I keep telling myself that I'm lucky to have a job. That makes me feel better sometimes (just not on those bad days).
Okay, boring entry over. Now you probably wish I'd stayed silent. :)

Ha! I was JUST thinking that I hoped you would update. I know I missed my calling too but I don't know what my passion is. I'm just thankful I have a job, too. I shouldn't complain but, oh, I do!
ReplyDeleteI need to get the eating under control, too, but that will have to wait just a bit longer.
About the sweating? I think it *might* be exercise related. I'm 41 and I sweat all the dang time. Kinda gross but I deal. I've been this way forever and I've been a runner for about forever. Who knows, though, right?
Glad you are doing OK, though, in general. Yep, trying to get one's act together is tough. It really, really is but you are going to be SO HAPPY you did it when you put on your wedding dress and are in a ton of photos. Keep thinking about the goal, keep visualizing....how proud of yourself you will be! I know you can do it!!!!!
Getting your eating under control will have to wait until you're done with the marathon, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI am already happy, and I haven't even changed that much yet! But I can feel a slight difference in my thighs and maybe in my abs, and I kind of like the feeling of having sore muscles the day after working out. :) And yes, I need to keep that wedding day in my mind to keep temptation at bay! There won't be a wedding dress, but I'll want to look nice in whatever I wear, of course. :)
Oh glad to hear you are happy! That is the best feeling!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't wear a real "wedding dress" either. I picked out something at Macy's that I could wear to all sorts of things. hahaha but it's forever my wedding dress. I guess that's what I meant!
