‘sup tumblr? i’m currently in the car with the bf, heading to vermont for his family’s annual reunion picnic thingie tomorrow. today has been annoying on like seven different levels (traffic, his neuroses, my general lack of desire to attend this thing, etc) so that’s fun.
i’m still stuck at 167, as i have been since sunday. i can’t imagine that three gym-less days is going to make me lose weight in a hurry, either. siiiiiigh. weirdly, the last time i was stuck at a particular weight was 177. i guess i get caught on those damn 7s.
okay, no more complaining. i’ll eat as well as i can this weekend and get down to business hardcore on monday. hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! xoxo
it’s weird; i’ve been working away on couch to 5k for weeks now. i finished week 8 on friday. i went for a run on saturday (which ended up being a run/walk as i got a massive ouchy blister).
normally i do couch to 5k on monday/wednesday/friday. but i missed monday because i was on my way back to new york. and i didn’t do it on tuesday because i knew spin would be a killer. and i didn’t do it yesterday because i was too sweaty and gross to face it after zumba.
and now i’m having a really, really hard time getting motivated to do it today!!! :( i mean, whatever, ultimately i know i’ll go do it because i’ll feel too guilty if i don’t, but i feel like i lost some momentum and now i’m scared that i won’t be able to make it through a 30-minute(!!!) run after not running for all those days.
okay okay okay i’m going.
WHY DIDN’T I GO TO THE GYM THIS MORNING?!?!?! D:
now it’s raining cats and dogs and fucking unicorns and turtles and i don’t wanna go out there!
yesterday i was 180.5. i ate well almost the entire day. i drank a ton of water. i burned 642 calories at the gym.
the only thing i did that was questionable was have mexican food last night, but i had one very small chorizo taco and then chicken fajitas. the fajitas came with very small tortillas and i only had about 3, plus i ate the chicken and peppers.
even if my dinner was more than i normally would eat, i don’t think i went over 1200 for the day. and even if i estimated wrong, i know i couldn’t have gone over 1400 at the outside. plus, like i said, the 642 calories of exercise.
so why the fuck am i up a pound and a half this morning? 182, seriously? i know this is probably why i shouldn’t weigh myself daily, but i find it so frustrating that whenever i eat anything even slightly questionable, it always fucking shows up on the scale immediately. there’s no way i ate enough to actually gain that weight, so why does it have to show up and taunt me?
edit: and it makes me worried, too, that i’ll never be able to go into a maintenance stage, because i feel like eating anything more than 1200/day is going to make me gain everything back. ugh ugh ugh.
i think i’ve hit a plateau. or maybe i’m just paranoid. i’ve only lost a pound since last wednesday, putting me at 188. this would probably bother me less if i hadn’t been 187.5 on friday. grrrr.
then again, i think it’s almost that time of the month (i’m awful at keeping track), which could have something to do with it.
idk. i’m just used to losing at least two pounds a week (and with my calorie consumption/exercise, i really should lose two pounds a week), so this is bumming me out.
but it’s okay! i burned ~575 calories on the elliptical, and then i have zumba at 7, so today will be a very good day, exercise-wise. i’ve eaten 474 calories so far, which means i have plenty left for dinner, and i’m drinking water like mad, and i just had a nice cup of green tea.
fuck you, 188, we’re breaking up!
[in other news, i’m listening to nirvana’s unplugged in new york, which is maybe the first album i ever listened to over and over on repeat. oh, kurt. :( sigh.]
