#exercise log

Lunch: Rotisserie chicken pieces with 1/3 cup brown rice, grapes.

Snack: 4 Olde Tyme hard pretzels, brownie (large!)

Dinner: Leftover cheeseburger with onion, spinach, pico de gallo, sunchips

I'm ok with repetitive food because one of my goals is to utilize leftovers better and make sure nothing goes bad. Most useless/unenjoyed thing was the pretzels, which I had because my lunch was very small and I got hungry in the afternoon. So, I have to eat more good things for lunch tomorrow.

Activity:

Walked to work for the afternoon, about .55 miles each way.

Bent over rows: 15 lb x 10 x 4 each

Rear delt raises: 10 x 2 each

Bicep curls: 15 lb x 7 x 3 each

Hammer curls: 15 lb x 7 x 3 each

Scissors: 25 x 2 each

Backward and forward lunges: 10 x 2 each

Bodyweight squat: 10 x 1

Bodyweight squat w/ 15 lb slam ball: 10 x 2

Sumo squat with calf raise: 15 x 1

Glute kickbacks with upward extension: 25 x 1

I wish that was better but I think it was OK for today since yesterday was hard and I want to do more tomorrow...

So before I went for the old faithful Leslie Sansone video, I tried to do some Just Dance videos... God I'm terrible.

One clip is enough. Even the dog is confused 😂 look at him he looks scared. Me too buddy.

I MISSED BEING ALL GREEN BY ONE FLIGHT OF STAIRS WHAT IS THAT?? Not that I care or anything. Also, my calorie numbers are off because I have no idea how many calories were in the Japanese snacks so... 💁 it is what it is.

Hi! My name is Vega, I’m 16, and I use they/them pronouns. As of today, October 4th, 2020, I weigh 235lbs/106kg. My goal weight is 180lbs/81kg. I am starting off my journey with a 30 day weight loss challenge. The exercises I am doing will be under the cut, at the end of the thirty days, I’m going to share my results and update everyone on what the next leg of it will be :). I will be posting regular updates on my blog to hold myself accountable under the tag “my exercise log” and “vega’s fitness” if you with to follow along.

I spelled out ANGELS instead of my name because that's too many squats, and then I only did 10 burpees. Also did assisted pushups with an exercise ball.

K got his official offer letter for his new job!! Very proud of my pumpkin pie. We'll celebrate this weekend. I got a bottle of champagne waiting for us!!

Exercise

Since my foot still hurts I am putting off hardcore running for now. I think it's appropriate to cancel my 30 Day 5k Challenge. I bit off more than I could chew. I went too hard too fast right out of the gate.

It's hard to admit you set a goal that was too lofty. It's hard to fail. But it's easy to fail at an impossible challenge. It doesn't mean you give up, you just set another goal that's more attainable and keep working hard!

Soaking and icing, and doing low-impact workouts for now is the best course of action to heal my foot. Swimming is THE best low-impact exercise to do, and I'll do that the rest of the week, weather permitting!

Two walks with the dog and two workout videos today. One 3 mile video before dinner, then a 1 mile video to get the rest of my steps in before midnight. For the 3 mile workout I forgot to turn off my Fitbit 😬.

Dinner

Chicken Tinga! First time making it, but it was really good. Basically shredded chicken with red potatoes and onion in a smoky chipotle sauce, slow cooked to savory perfection. Served with corn tortillas and avocadoooooo. I wish this was a plant based meal, but ..... gotta be flexible.

Love seeing all my daily Fitbit goals conquered. 💪
