10km walk, was good. Did small jogging parts as well, mostly to get home quicker because my nose was getting sun burned. I will walk tomorrow as well, but probably 8km to save my leg muscles a bit. I want them to get stronger, not to tire them (or me) out now when I’m just getting started. Ate quite well, except from the fact that I doubled my dinner portion. Chicken and rice is just so amazingly good. Have one chicken fillet left until tomorrow, and I’ll eat it without rice. So even though tomorrow is Saturday, I hope I’ll be strong enough to not eat crap. I have to stay away from the candy/snacks when I go to the store tomorrow. Buy just some strawberries maybe. And look for more yoghurt to mix with frozen berries. Or maybe cottage cheese instead.
Basically: Ate 1700kcal. Burned 500. Will do 100 crunches and 10 push ups before going to bed.
So, I have come to realize (also with all the inspiration out there) that I should focus on fitness and health rather than dieting. I am sure I would be more comfortable in my skin if it wasn’t so fat and soft and bulging everywhere. Boyfriend loves the softness, but I could never be rock hard anyway, so I don’t think that’s a problem.
Today was quite nice. Did a 8km walk, at a speed I’m comfortable with. Tomorrow, the plan is to make it 10km, but we’ll see. It’s a nice walk along a river, but with a loop in the end. If I take the loop twice, it will be 10km instead of 8. I’ll also time it tomorrow. Since it’s exam reading time, I can do this in the morning and read for the exam after I’ve exercised. The plan is to do this every day until the exam, which means about 15 more days.
This evening I slipped up and ate a mix of butter, sugar, cocoa and oats. NOT GOOD. I still have some left, which I will toss in the garbage in a few minutes. Otherwise, I did really well with the eating, so it annoys me now that I gave in to the craving.
Had a problem with hand swelling this morning though, and hopefully it won’t happen/not be as bad tomorrow. Bringing water with some sugar and salt to make my own sports drink, and will keep the hands moving to prevent the swelling. If it doesn’t work, I might do 8km instead of 10, because the pain and itchiness of the swelling is awful.
Anonymous asked: Are you going to "The Beatles: The Lost Concert" movie premier in a few weeks?
no, hadn’t even heard of it.. I never go to the movies anyway, too expensive.
The problem with the gym is that it’s full of other people. Luckily I walk to school almost every day now, so I at least get some exercise.
