MY INSANITY JOURNEY (Day 19)

Hey peeps,

This is me after my workout.  Day 19. (Cardio power and resistance).  It was hard but there is that feeling you get after a good workout. It’s awesome. All the endorphins running through me. I’m still in the game and I’m still pushing. The scale is really annoying. Some days I loose weight & some days I gain weight  after all the exercise. It’s frustrating. I did some research and what I learned is that the scale should not be rellied on or I will end up getting discouraged. They say I should only weigh in after the first month. I don’t know if I can do that but I will try.

I also learned that once u start exercising, your body is in a state of shock and though fat is being burned, I am gaining muscle so it will take some time for the weight to start coming off. I’m pretty sure I can wait. Besides there are lots of other benefits. I feel like stronger, healthier and lighter so that is good enough for now. I will not stop pushing everyday. I will continue till I achieve my goals.

So for breakfast I had eggs and spinach. I had promised myself that I will have veggies early today because I didn’t have any yesterday.

Amazing.

Later I had lentils and pasta. I can’t wait  for this week to be over cuz I’m already so bored.  Thank God I have just one day to go.

Later I had yogurt and that was it for the day.

At 6pm, I did my turbo Jam. Cool.  I didn’t have enough energy to get through all the exercises but i did have a good sweat. Flunked out on the last 10mins.

Later, as I was doing my research,  I realised that undereating could prevent me from loosing weight because the body will hold unto the food I put in.  As a lady,  I’m not suppose to go below a 1200 calorie intake per day.  I downloaded calorie counter and realised that I was not taking enough calories per day to keep up with the exercise I was doing and that is why I was feeling really worn out and my weight loss seemed to have reached a plateau. Tomorrow, I will go get the recovery formula & protein powder.

Drank some water,  watched TV till midnight and went to bed.  That is another thing. I have to learn to start going to bed before 10pm. My body needs the rest to fully recover.

See you tomorrow peeps.

Xoxo… Determined chick.
