On a search for a healthier me.

[Axel]

the 4th killed me. Ugh. I was sooooo bad food wise. And I didn't run at all over the weekend because I had company and my cousin never leaves me along and I hate people watching/talking to me while I run- I need my music to take my mind off the fact that my leg starts hurting after about a mile.

Anyway. Today I did an easy 2.25 mile jog. 15 min running @ 4mph, 2.5 min walking @ 2mph, 2 min walking @ 3mph, .5 min walking @ 3.5mph, 15 min running. It's a 35 minute run total.

After I get off of here, it's going to be 4 sets of 15 crunches.

I would kill for my treadmeal back...my dad took it and he never steps on it...

Well I walked forl ike 3 hours today so i think that qualifies for my time...

My skinniest jeans (waist wise) Are big now!

I haven't been following my diet or work out plans.
I went to my cousins bat mitzvah and the whole weekend is basically eating.
I'm starting up again by friday.

 

[EnchantedPiglet]

I am also trying to eat healthier.
I find that when I am hungry I eat junk food. I never eat apples or anything healthy.
I decided tomorrow I am going to start and eat healthier.
Three cookies a day, 1 soda that's it thats all.

Yogurt is extraordinary. I love it. You should try it. Yoplait comes in soooo many different flavors and they're all pretty yummy. I just finished a Orange Creme Whip and it was Yummy!

I'm with you! I'm not overweight, or anything, though. :| I'm trying to cut down on the junkfood, and the computer. ( Which is why I haven't been on DIS for so long ) I've been drinking at least 2-3 bottle of water a day. In the morning after I walk my dog, I usually talk a jog, or ride my bike. I have also been spending a lot of time outdoors, and I have been trying to cut down on the junkfood. I've also bought vitamen water. My mom has a yoga book, so I've been do that also. I've lost about 2 pounds or more, I think, over this month and a half. ( Yes, that's only a little xD ) The junkfood part isn't working out. xD But I was trying to force myself away from it.

I woke up early to go running today to step outside and find it was already past 90 degrees...at 8:30...

I have the exact same problem. If I want to go running I either have to go super early (around 7am) or late at night when the bugs are all out. I just stick with the treadmill in the summer. Right now it's about 5pm at my house and it's still in the 100's. Ugh.

I also have a pool in my backyard, so that makes things easy.

 

[KitKat_Tink]

pools are much easier!

I just did 30 laps (starting in one point going across and coming back to the same point counts as one) And then played in the water

for a total of an hour!

Which i went to a calorie counter and the amount i did means i burnt anywhere from 400 to 700 calories!! where as jogging doesn't even burn 300!

Swimming it is the rest of summer!!

 

[::Snow_White::]

I went for a 10 minute walk today.
Food wise, wasn't all that great, but it's alright.

I finally decided to do one of these yoga video things.
30 minutes in, and I decided to take a break.
It's actually very nice! I thought it was going to be horrible, but it's not.
Some of the things you are like swinging around though so you get cool air swishing around you. xD
Anyways, I don't know that's only 1 section of the 7, I'll finish this one up and then do another tomorrow.

 

[♥DizzyDizney♥]

I'm going to ask my mom if I can sign up for yoga classes this summer, instead of doing the same yoga techniques in my room. :|

 

[Whitleigh]

I did one of the Firm workout videos today... I will definitely be sore tomorrow! I might go walking tonight after church.

 

[Axel]

35:08 minutes and 2.288 miles gone from my life.

But it will be worth it. I keep telling myself that. That in the end, it will be worth it. Because I'll be happy with myself and I'll be able to wear my new bathing suit to WDW in August without being embarrassed.

 

[KitKat_Tink]

I did my 30 laps in the pool. Tommorow i'll add 5 more.

And then i played in the pool with my brother and sister. We were like wrestling. It was intense.

Today i'm not sure i've eaten the best because swimming makes me sooooo hungry...

I had:
a handful of chips and salsa for breakfast (i was craving it i don't know why)
A half a quesidilla and another hand ful of chips and salsa for lunch(i'm in a mexican food mood)
a banana after my 30 laps
and saltine crakers and salami and cheese after the hour of play time
and a small chocolate star.

It seems like ALOT but i'm still hungry...

 

[Babyjustrun]

I ... walked to Timmie Ho's.
But yeah, I killed that with the muffin.
I might go swimming tomorrow, I don't know.
It's supposed to rain and be hot. And if it doesn't rain, I'll probably get sunburnt.

 

[Axel]

All this talk of swimming makes me wish I had a pool to go to. All I have is a river, but my dad doesn't let my go down there by myself. So, I'm stuck with my treadmill.

I don't really have a pool either.
I'm going to my friends house tomorrow. It's actually unlikely I'm going to really hardcore swim, she has one of those round out of ground pools. There's like no length.

I only have my .. ski machine? Lol, it's just this thing that you push your legs back and forth with your arms..
If that makes sense?
Usually kids play on them at stores.

One word:

D A N C E

It's a sport, seriously. (and to all you people who claim it isn't...grrrr!) A 2.5 hour recital? Totally wears you out. Especially the Company girls who have literally one number to change shoes, costume, and hairpiece. And then get back onstage and do a complicated piece of choreography. And they do this all night.

Between the running around on- and off-stage, it's very tiring. I'm used to it after 11 years (going into my 12 season) but it's still a LOT of work, bewteen class, dress rehersal, and recital.

And. It. Feels. Wonderful.

 

[KitKat_Tink]

I might try a half an hour of dancing tommorow before the rest of my family is up...

Running is still out of the question :[

I wanted to add running in with my swimming...plus my strength moves...

 

[life of the party]

why is running out of the question ?
