Day 8: Biking

My fiance's birthday yesterday was a success! I made him dinner, we biked so that he could play pokemon, got ice cream and came back home to watch Parks and Rec. Today was definitely a better workout, and good thing too because we didn't eat so great. We biked over 10 miles and burnt a …

Day 7

Today was definitely not one of my best days for working out. However, I could have stayed in bed feeling depressed but I didn't. I got up, got myself together and used the elliptical for 15 minutes. It wasn't a long time because some guy was in there and that stuff always makes me nervous...but …

Yesterday’s day 6

Yesterday, I did manage to work out for a little bit. Instead of actually going to the gym, my fiance and I decided to just go for a bike ride and a walk. It wasn't a super long one, but it was really nice to just spend some time together and enjoy the weather on …

Day 5

So my friend and I were actually productive at the gym! I feel really good about today and have been on an extreme high. I feel productive, happy and motivated. I have noticed that I have not been as fatigued or undergone bad IBS problems since I've been eating healthier. My mind and gut appear …

Day 4

Yay my cough is going away! Woo! Success little white blood cells. I did pretty well today. I only emphasize pretty because I did have a veggie sub from Jimmy John's for dinner. However, this morning I had cereal and for lunch I had raisins, nuts, fruit and snap peas again. I went for a …

Getting back into the routine

Today is a better day, and I'm jumping off the train going in the opposite direction to go forward. This mornin,g I ate watermelon for breakfast. In the afternoon, I had apple slices, grapes, nuts and snap peas. For dinner, I had sushi. I would have counted my steps but I wasn't wearing my Fitbit …

Day 3 at the gym

The gym saga continues... While most gym sessions in the future will be much more productive, today I went with a friend, which obviously means more talking than sweating. I jumped on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then did about 5 minutes of abs. End scene. Definitely not a winner of a gym day, …

Day 2 of working out

So if you guys had read my previous blog, I mentioned that I hadn't been to the gym in 6 days because I was sick. However, today I was able to get to the gym for a little under an hour. I jogged for 20 minutes (1.22 miles) and then performed 15 minute and 11 …

Off to a great start :P

So not really, but I didn't want a negative title. Basically, because I'm still sick and have a fever, I couldn't go to the gym. Instead, I did some 6 minute abs and a few arm exercises. Nothing particularly fancy. My diet also consisted of mainly jello, popsicles, and a peanut butter sandwich. I also …

The Downside of Drugs

I'm sure that you clicked on this article because of the title. LOL No it has nothing to do with illegal drug use. Instead, it's all about medication for anxiety and depression. One of my biggest goals that I have for myself this year is to get into shape. That might simply be to relearn …
