Not sure as to why my legs look really short in the last picture... might have been the camera angle. Annnnd don't mind the shorts and sandal tan lines :D heh heh heh. Not a whole lot of progress this time around. I wasn't eating all too well since I had a week full of lunch and dinner dates which was bad for my diet... I felt like crap after looking at these photos. I felt discouraged, guilty, depressed, angry at myself, and disappointed all because I just didn't see the progress that i wanted to see, as well as all the crap that I ate the week before.
With the help of my bf's advice he told me to research some other workout plans. I'm not sure where to start but I need something that will help me just tone up. Maybe body-weight exercises are enough? Maybe a 20 lb sandbag isn't enough? I don't know... but it's getting discouraging to workout. But today will be a different story. After I'm done with my massage class later today, my bf and I will be going to the YMCA he goes to to sign me up for their 100 days for $100 deal. This is something that I've done 2x already. I'm excited to get back into the gym... although I just need to learn to ignore people's awful forms, grunts, and hot-shot douchey statures... Anyway, so my plan is to have double day workouts this week. Bodyweight exercises in the morning and weights in the afternoon. I hope to tone up more this coming month. My shoulders are broader and I don't need that cuz my bf and I can't sit at a table next to each other without elbowing or shouldering each other for space... I don't like it. I want to tone up and sculpt my body more this time around so having double days will help.... I hope.
Not only do I possibly need to change up my workout routine again I need to have a stricter diet. It's hard enough to have a limited social life when I moved back to SF... so to cut myself off even more is something I need to do for myself. It's not that I want to avoid people, I need to find other means of hanging out with friends. May it be just going to get coffee, going a walk/hike through a park, or even me teaching someone's form. I don't care what it is but I need my friends to understand that I have a goal that I want to achieve. I love food, don't get me wrong, but it's hard to say no. This is going to be a big challenge to eat ridiculously clean for the next month or so. I'll have cheat days for sure but that needs to be only one day per week.
Alright, I should probably get a start on my workout. Bought new workout shoes so I'm going to break them in with a timed workout in my room. Not sure what exercises to do today but I'll refer back to my notebook. I write down all of my workouts in there including the reps, type and time it takes me to complete.
Thanks for reading and thank you for being patient. I know this blogging thing can be very inconsistent.
