misunshyne's Journal, 12 August 2012

Calories were high but still in an ok range for today, carbs however were much higher than I was aiming for. I knew I would be higher than usual (Mom wanted KFC for her birthday) because our KFC is stupid and does not make the Grilled Double Down Sandwich - they only offer the extra crispy version (they seem to only offer the extra crispy version of ANYTHING), and then I struggled to find something else suitable to eat and got a bit carried away wanting the macaroni and biscuit too.

Oh well, I suppose you realize things you can improve on and then you move on and learn from it. There will probably be a gain and hold for the next 3 days, but I know it's only temporary and I also know that I could have done much much worse with larger quantities of the food I did eat or with buying or adding in sugary desserts and such. All of us were satisfied with the KFC meal - no dessert needed and then we had a very nice conversation for the rest of the evening about all sorts of things.

On a side note, I really don't feel like I drank enough water (or any type of fluids in general) today either.

I really need a plan to get myself into an exercise routine starting tomorrow. I have access to pretty much every/any thing I would need, but just have no current desire to actually do it. (Things I have or can use: exercise series dvd's including Yoga Booty Ballet, Slim Series, Gunnar's Stability Ball Body, Gaiam Pilates/Yoga, complete P90X, and a few random ones; stability balls, hand weights, resistance bands, jump rope, and a 24 hour gym membership. So why the hell can't I get myself going?

no worries about it. you'll start when it feels right. just don't start with the p90x right off the bat--do yourself a favor there. start with a pilates or yoga first-swap some 30 min deals through out your week for a month or so--then try a p90x and see if you like it--or you can modify to only the cardio ones 3 times a week or the weight/strength 3 times a week. as you see- I am doing the whole friggen thing..and it is seriously tough- I've lost some inches in a month- but no scale weight--I am getting stronger, however it is a LOOOONG road these 90 days...and Im concerned that I am overtraining. I will definitely modify for the second round--mostly because of my need for caloric intake--i am having a real issue getting enough calories in me!!if i eat 1900 calories, and burn (on average)650 a workout,(depending on intensity)-I am getting really close to that majick 1200--and I generally can't get 1900 in me consistently...so be careful with how you chose...OK? Good luck when feel it!
