hi girlies,
Today was ok...
I was at the boyfriends house and ate porridge for breakfast and 1/2 a piece of toast w/ butter and vegemite
banana and apple for lunch and a handful of shapes..
Dinner is cucumber and corn salad with some dressing which is likely to send my calorie intake sky rocketing ( yes i ruined my no food apart from fruit and vege after 1pm rule)... still not back into counting calories
I just got back from the gym.. i ran 5km again :) but anyway,
I was wondering if you could help me, on days like today where i didnt exercise twice (because i cant do all of this, my body cant do it yet.) do you think it would be better to run for 1/2 hour or step for 20 mins an cross train for 1/2 hr...
I know the second scenario is longer in minuets, but i work up more of a sweat when I've been running... What are your favourite gym workouts, i'm open to suggestion...
Also, just so you all know about a month ago i could not run to save myself... but I started off slow running 1km in about 7 mins, really taking my time but i was determined... then one day i found it a little easier and i was like okay.. im going to run for 20 mins which is about 3km and just this week i pushed it up to 1/2 hour which is about 4.5km and occasionaly I push myself a little further to reach 5km. So if you really put your mind to it its not difficult BUT a kickass playlist is ESSENTIAL. Also i would not recommend this for the fasters :)
I learnt an interesting tip from TriThin you can read it here: http://trithin.blogspot.com/?zx=66d75fec9a56b874 though i like to mix it up and say "hay if the fatty next to you can do it, so can you" haha worked wonders today :)
I'm so thankful to Elegant thinspo (yes i'am still a blogging newbie and couldnt figure out how to highlight your name so it creates a link to your blog :s) for my sunshine award. Though i seriously don't think I'm thinspiring, yet, it did make my day.
I'm going to have a tough gig trying to pass it on, I follow so many of you religiously and am so thankful for all these new friendships, as my real ones fall to pieces haha..
O.k so I'm getting seriously frustrated with myself. I need control, I have no control over what i put into my mouth, please help me!! I'm not loosing any effing weight!!
Another thing, i have to see my "best friends" this weekend. I leave that in sarcastic quotations for another time, when my posts arnt already so long. They want to go out for dinner, and I've lost my patience with everyone, including them.I was meant to call one of them because she has "so much to tell me" but honestly her saying that completely put me off. I know I complained about nto having any friends but at the moment (apart for you girls) it seems like a very refreshing idea.
Hope your all doing well :)
A rather obvious thinspo post today (sorry)
to highlight and link someone you write their name, mark the word(s), klick on the "link" button (it looks like to metal pieces linked together) and then you have to write the URL in there :)
ReplyDeletecongrats on running 5km! you're doing quite good. i recommend starting to count calories again though, cause it will make you more controlled. you said you couldn't stop stuffing your mouth lately so i would start with a rather high intake, let's say 1200-1500 and get it down within 5 days to 800-1200 calories a day. from then on mix the intakes to try and avoid a plateau (hasn't worked for me, i guess-.-)

Hey lovely, great post! Congratulations on your running prowess, very encouraged to hear it's only a recent development lol. In terms of your question, I would personally say run for half an hour. Just because you'll get so fit, and will eventually be able to run for aaaages, imagine the calories you'll burn!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally understand about real-life friendships falling to pieces lol. I used to have so many friends, now I have.. none? Thank goodness for you girls on here, (secretly I much prefer you anyway xx).
Since you're apparently not losing any weight at the moment, perhaps just do one day of not eating, to jolt your body out of its plateau? I'm not sure about you, but my body absolutely refuses to lose weight unless I'm literally not eating.
Maybe just suck on barley sugars for a day, sugar free and SO yummy, and keeps that chomping mouth busy :)
Omg this has become another classic Adeline comment: why must I write a small novel every time lol.
Lots of love, keep up the great work!
