Day 8

Good day of workouts today!
I must say, despite how hard it is sometimes, it's nice to feel in control of what I eat.

I'm watching "Heavy" on A&E and it's about all these people who weighed 300-600+lbs.. Man, even at my size it feels uncomfortable to be in my skin, but to be so heavy must be very 힘들어. So congrats to them for working hard to be a healthier them! It's encouraging to see them change.

Some personal motivation of the day for me:
-Not to look "helpme" status
-I work so hard in exercising, I need to lose the weight so that it can actually be evident! I really do work hard, but it saddens me to think that others may view me as a lazy girl because I'm chubby. I swear, under this blub is a nicely toned body!

Intake:
Breakfast @ 9:30am:
Chobani Strawberry Greek yogurt 140
Crumbled nature valley granola bars 190

Snack:
3 jolly ranchers 70 cals

Pre-workout @12:00pm:
Nature Valley bars 190

Post-first-workout @3:00pm:
Blueberry Chobani Greek yogurt 140

Dinner @ 8:00pm:
Big bowl of farmer's greens with raw tofu, sliced almonds, yellow bell pepper and dressing of balsamic vinegar & lemon
1 egg white
Bulgogi with sauteed mushroom slices

Strawberry chobani greek yogurt - I know it's passed 7pm, but I was craving it and I did burn lots of calories today, so I ate it.
Strawberry banana Crystal light with protein and fiber 30 cals


Exercise:
Workout 1 @ 1:00-3:00pm
  • Lat pulldown, adductor, abductor.. didn't want to do much for my class later
  • 88 minutes on Treadmill, 6.75 miles, 1030 cals burned
    • was mostly incline 2.0 and running at easy pace 5.0-5.3, last bit I did a little at 5.5, had a few walking intervals though. I would say about a 1-1.5 miles of my run was walkin d/t my warm, cooldown and walking intervals.
Workout 2 @5:15-7:30pm:
  • Then @ 5:15pm, waiting for my class to start I did about 10 minutes of this cardio machine I never tried before, it kinda felt like stairmaster but went side to side
  • 60 minute body conditioning class 
    • wow tough! Must gain more strength to keep up better!
  • 60 minutes U-Jam class
    • Ah this was so fun! It's like Zumba plus cardio hip hop and other dancing, but high-intensity cardio! Joy and Loice would like this class too! (It had some our slooby songs in it lol)
I'm gonna miss being able to workout in these high-end gyms when I quit my current part-time job.. but I guess I will be able to afford a membership when I start to work work right? Haha
