day 5
i weigh 69.4 kilos! 69.4!!!!! i lost 0.4 kg on my rest day and i had quite a large meal - but apparently you have to eat to lose weight so it seems to be working. oh i'm so glad! that means i've lost 1.2 kg so far. and it's not even the end of week one yet! also, we're on day 5 now! i can't believe i'm still at it! i mean, it's good, just unusual for me. obviously, nowhere near victory yet, but i'll get there.
i'm going to the gym again today. i'm a bit less sore now so it shouldn't be very painful. i just wish it was more exciting. i have to do my 20 min paced walk. i also need to draw a training for the run plan on the paper, cause so far i only have it in my head and it would be nice if i could tick stuff off. i've also decided that i'm going to do the posture exercises that i once did in hospital. i can't do them at home because there's no space, but what do i pay gym membership for? exactly. i will do them on mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays and saturdays. i should really do them every day, but, i have rest days from the gym and on friday i need to have a shorter workout - about an hour - if mark is to practice in the evening. still, four days out of seven, better than nothing. and hopefully, my back will stop hurting. aaaah, the benefits of exercise.
i had wonderful all organic breakfast today. i can't believe people still eat non organic stuff. i mean, i have to, when i want to use an ingredient that's not available organic. but when i have all organic meals, they taste SO much nicer.
gym was actually fun today. i did the paced walk first, i wasn't bored at all. i felt the urge to run, but it was only my third paced walk and i'm suppossed to do six. so no running before i complete them. i was looking forward to the half an hour on the crosstrainer. after a few minutes on the crosstrainer, my heartrate was 170 and i was thinking 'i'll only do ten minutes'. but i forced myself to do 30, though i changed the resistance from 10 down to 6 and it was much easier. my heart rate went down by only ten beats but it made a huge difference. i also did the exercises for strong back. i must have looked weird, but i didn't care. and, i burnt 594 kcal! which is amazing! :) i love my heartrate monitor!
food summary:
pita bread with cottage cheese, red pepper and cherry tomatoes - all organic
scrambled eggs with mushrooms, one slice of toasted bread (no spread), cherry tomatoes - all organic apart from olive oil
organic apple
organic orange
organic kiwi
exercise summary:
20 mins paced walk
30 mins crosstrainer
exercises for good posture - 5 reps
50 sit ups
stretches
