Bikes

Our whole family bought bikes. We have been riding the past two weekends. I'm still going to the gym using the treadmill. Sometimes my foot hurts. When its really brothering me I use the stationery bike at the gym. I am still struggle with what I eat. Some times I think my mind says hey your doing exercise so you can eat more. I want to eat healthy!
Just need to remember:

Everyday is a new day, every yesterday is the past. We start fresh everyday and if we make errors then they soon will be the past.

The Gym Workout

Today I decided to try something new at the gym. My normal route is the treadmill. On the treadmill I do between 30 and 40 minutes at the pace of a 20 minute mile. I try to do at least 15 minutes at a 5% incline. I have been doing this for about 3 weeks now. So today I tried the elliptical machine. I worked on for about 12 minutes and then did the treadmill for about 22 minutes. I have been doing some free weights at home. I am only using 3lbs weights but will move up to five in about a week.

As for eating I am trying to stay under 1500 calories a day. I cant say that it happens everyday but most days I am good. Sometimes I think when you know you are trying to eat least it makes you more hungry.

The Trainer

I have been going to the gym at least 5 days a week. I was just doing the treadmill at first and thought I would take my free hour with the trainer. I am very out of shape. I told the women this, also told her I was planning on doing this slowly. She told me to trust her. She worked me so hard I didn't think I would make it to my car. It took 4 days before I could walk without silently screaming. When I went back to the gym she asked me how I was doing and was wondering if I wanted to continue. I explained to her that I like to be able to walk. So no thank you. I understand you need to feel the burn to know your muscles are getting stronger, but this was so bad I had to crawl up the stairs at night.
The last two days I have spent about 42 mintues walking two miles at a incline of 1.5. The week before I was doing about 30 mintues at .5 incline.

The Battle

OK, I am still struggling with this issue. I ate a box of girl scout cookies at one sitting. This is a horrible place to be. It is hard to watch other people eat. To see them eat things you know would just increase your thighs by looking at it. I know I don't always make the right choices, but I try. I am really trying to add as much fiber as I can to my diet. What seems weird to me though, is that they say fiber is suppose to make you feel really full. For me for some strange reason when I eat a high fiber meal I seem to get really hungry.

So I decided to join a gym. I started today. I am taking it slow. I did the tredmill for 30 mintues today. I want to take it slow and steady. I want to work up to an hour on the tredmill and then start doing the weights. Plus being on the tredmill is kinda a place to do your deep thinking. You know what others call day dreaming. I will let you know how its going.

Sorry

Havent posted in awhile. Still off the wagen. I really want to get a gym membership. Still keeping to some of my ideas but not all. I have to say it has effected my system.

On a backwards slid

OK I have not blog in awhile. That's because I fell off the wagon. The holidays really and truly got to me. Since we are going to a New Years eve party I decided I will start fresh in the new year. Plus my health insurance is changing. I want to join a gym and get the money back from my insurance. So I will start a fresh in January. I will always be honest with you where I stand with my eating issues. One day last week I ate way to much and my acid reflux really acted up. So I knew that day I went way over board. I will you posted of my trials.

Popcorn

Ok I did not get on the scale today. Not sure why I am afraid to, I guess I just don't want to see that it has not moved. Food, why is it such a nightmare for us. The one snack food I don't feel guilty about is popcorn. I really think I go over board on that. I eat a big bowl of it. I make it myself and use "I Cant Believe Its Not Butter" spray. Then I use sea salt. Boy is that good. I have to say the only thing I have really wanted to eat was wings with blue cheese. But I have been good and have stayed away.
