fitness log

Sunday I went to Santa Barbara with V. We walked a lot! Did like 12k steps. Saw many pretty things including mountains and roses!

Monday was Memorial Day, I went to the beach and then also helped M and G with their move. I only did around 7k steps but did lift many things and kept generally active.

Nothing on Tuesday. Felt lazy.

Wednesday I went to the gym and did the elliptical for what felt like the first time in forever. Went for 1:25 hr. I was fast ish on the first 30 min. Then after that I just wanted to quit.

It was a lot like Saturday that it felt like bargaining with myself like. Just 10 min. Oh you already did 10, what’s 15 more? And eventually worked myself up to almost 1:30 hr. Was going real slow after that 30 min mark tho. You can see the drop in the HR after that, and basically went at a “moderate” pace most of the time.

I went lowkey drunk after dinner and I hated it bad I tried running for like 3 seconds and u almost threw up I still did 10k step today tho

Slow af

Emily came with me to the gym on Wednesday and tonight.

Wednesday I was gonna take it slow. I had gone to the gym 3 days in a row atp. Tuesday I played around with some squats and lunges at the turf zone. I was gonna take it easy and I sort of did. We only did like 20 min elliptical or smth and then I did go try to overhead press some weights. The guy on the bench next to me corrected my form. But Emily didn’t do any of those. Their carpal tunnel isn’t doing too good. But I thought it was nice that a guy offered advice. I usually feel so lost. It was encouraging.

Friday nil Saturday nil. Today I went hiking to Griffith park with RJ. It was nice.

Then Em asked me to go with them to the gym to move the body a little. I ended up doing an elliptical workout. 30 min only but still. Wild day today. Look at that daily cal burn. Insane.

Today it’s officially 2 months since I started going to the gym!!! I didn’t really feel like going but I still went and it wasn’t like awfully hard to get myself there. I decided I wanted today to be a challenge to celebrate 2 FUCKING MONTHS!!!! 9 WEEK STREAK!!!!! HELL YEAAHHHH. Beat my previous record on the first 32 min. Then I pushed and also beat my previous record of how long I went for!!! 1:40 baby

I’m very proud of myself. I pushed through some very tough minutes. When the thoughts in my head got too loud, when the regrets in my heart grew too heavy, but I just ran past them. That was wild.

I might have pushed myself a little too much? My leg hurts, the right one. No more ankle pain though??? Just some pain in one of the adductors I believe. I should be doing those exercise machines at the gym, I can’t start training with weights seriously until my body can hold itself. And press itself. Cause I can’t squat for shit and I think it’s that instability.

girl I picked up weights for the first time on Friday!!! At the hotel gym at that!!! I worked out on a work trip!!! I’d say that’s cool asf

I was not feeling great tho. Like. I just. Was emotional and not feeling good. It was also 11 pm. I did 10 min elliptical and then played around w the weights for like 20 min. I was able to do presses well enough but like deadlifting was so hard with my belly it made me feel like shit and also I can’t squat to depth for shit and also I REALLY hated what I look like

girl I went and only did the 32 min preset. I wanted to go and do something with dumbbells but there were so many people and I got really intimidated. So I didn’t. I am so stinky I need to like. Get a car freshener I think. I need new bike shorts. I need to stop spending my money in McDonald’s Diet Coke + McFlurry treats fr. I think I’m literally gonna make a McDonald’s fund folder and only put 10 dollars every 2 weeks and see what I do with it. I want a ninja creami to do the stupid McFlurrys at home.

Proud of myself for going even after feeling like a moody bitch all day and yesterday.

I feel like I could’ve gone on for a long time atp. Look how long it took for me to actually get on the vigorous Zone and it was bc I started pushing. Anyway it was good.

Friday’s was the slowest fuckin workout I have had in ages. Did 30 min elliptical and tapped out. Only 3448 steps. Like I feel like that’s around what I did on day 1 at the gym. But at least I showed up.

On Saturday I went swimming. I did like 70 min of kick drills mostly and didn’t get the heart rate up as much to be honest I’ve just been working on technique.

I am scared to weigh myself because I feel like I’ve been shit lately and I’m scared! I also started going to the nutritionist last week and ack been logging all my food and calories and agghhhhhh

Pace was also more even than last time. Also that bit next to flowers on both sides was my favorite! I jogged for a while this time which was very cool. But like running through flowers made me smile so much.

Yesterday! I’m very impressed with how I could keep a steady pace for a little over an hour. Of course sometimes I paused or slowed or went faster but the fact that the pace was pretty consistent is pretty cool!

Very happy I got the fitbit!! Also very crazy I am in love with going to the sauna after working out!!! It’s like the best fixer!!! Feels like cheating lowkey I feel like I didn’t work out at all lmaooo

didn’t do much today but the elliptical and I almost broke 4.2k! I was very proud of myself for that one and the fact that this bit of 33 min of cardio is starting to feel a bit effortless especially compared to day 1. Didn’t do anything other than that bc it was kinda late and I just didn’t feel like doing more tbh but I didn’t feel like physically tired just mentally exhausted bc of work. But that’s also what pushed me here today bc I was like too keyed up bc of working after hours my brain is so fried and then I need to let off steam and this was great. I do feel like my ankles hurt though. I don’t wanna like. Have it get too bad to the point I can’t work out. I have my annual physical tomorrow so I do wanna see how I’m doing and I might ask the doctor for a referral for my ankle shit.

I’m also broke asf atm and I keep on spending money out of my savings!!! Gotta stop eating out like this tbfh!
