Anyway, right to the point. I wanted to check my measurements this morning but I can't find our measuring tape so that will have to wait until later. I also wanted to do some resistance training this morning, but I couldn't find the band. Clearly I don't know where anything is at home. I guess I'll wait until my brother is home!
Lately, I've been using the Ab Lounge 2 recently because it doesn't strain my foot as much, so I'll keep you updated on that experience as well. Depending on the position I'm sitting it, it can hurt my back (upper and lower). But I'm trying to figure out how it works best for me. If you've had any experiences with this, please share! I'm hoping to do some more later today and then do a 20 minute circuit training with my brother.
I'll look for some articles later and share them but before I do so, let me tell you what I'm looking forward to today. I researched different smoothies I can make with my Breakfast Carnations milk and I found one recipe that I'm going to try in an hour! [Mix the powder with milk, add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and blend it, sprinkle with cinnamon & enjoy.] I'll be sure to let you know how it is.
Height: 5'0"
Weight: 170lbs
Ab Lounge 2 @ 9:45am: 800 crunches
Ab Lounge 2 @ 1:00pm: 500 crunches (1300 total--oo I'm totally feeling it!)
Breakfast:
(200) Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds & Special K Chocolatey Delight with Skim Milk
(300) Bataka Paua (Indian food, delicious.) (500 Total)
(400) Burrito Bowl (Homemade, 1 serving) ((900 Total)
I know I should be consuming some more calories but in between I had some flax seeds, a tablespoon of peanut butter, and tasted different foods that I was making.
I didn't work out anymore because my foot and back are bothering me...but I'll build it up slowly.
By the way, I know, wow, 170 - that's a lot! But back during Thanksgiving break, I was at 182 so this is a nice 12 pound difference.
I took a waist measurement today because of NOOM and I couldn't find my measuring tape either. Instead I just found a string to measure with and then used a ruler to measure that. Worked for me. A nice solid 40 inch waist :( I've definitely gone up again but just don't have the motivation to get back on it. I think a lot of it has to do with the weather and what I believe to have Seasonal Affect Disorder. But I downloaded this app that is supposed to help with light therapy and they want me to do it for 20 days straight, so today will be day 3. It's interesting because it's developed by an actual medical center and you have to fill out a form and they then send you an access code to be able to use the app so it seems legit. Let's hope it starts warming up soon so I can get back outside! I HATE THE TREADMILL!! :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely make sure you are eating at least 1200 calories a day. It's ok to go a little over if you are doing all those workout to make sure because if your system is shutting down based on low calorie intake, you won't see any weight loss progress.
Wait what's the name of the app?? Is it specifically for Seasonal Affect Disorder therapy??
DeleteHaha yesss...it is definitely more difficult in the winter!!
Oh and that's a genius idea, measuring with string! I'll do it asap :)
DeleteThe website says its for quite a few things but definitely check it out. I'm having issues with focusing on staring at a white light coming and going for 30 min but today will be day 5. I'm really trying to stick with it so I can see if it helps or not.
ReplyDeleteThe app is called MediLight (light blue block, shows a brain ->eye -> three colored circles). When you log into it it'll ask for an access code. Go to www.tulsavistiontherapy.com and fill out the form for the Med i Light app. You'll receive the access code by email within a day,
