End of Week One

So I did sort of well this week. I did try to do the portion control from 21 Day Fix with the boxes. I also did track my food this week on MyFitnessPal, all of it - the good and the bad. I've been also trying to get more water in. To do so, I've just gotten use to throwing my blender bottle in my bag and just drinking at least 4 of those a day.

I worked out most of the week, but I did miss yesterday's workout. Today is my off day from that Elite Body workout I'm doing. So I'm using today to do a different workout, which will probably be a cardio day (I think I'm going to try 21 Day Fix's Plyo Fix). I need more cardio in my life, even though lately I've avoided it. Hopefully 21 Day Fix has fun cardio.

Oh, recent change, I've been trying out contact lenses. It's a odd; I'm use to having glasses and fidgeting with them to help focus but now I don't have them. I still want to touch my glasses and find myself just touching my face lol. I think I want the doctor to fix the prescription a bit since I feel a bit blind even after the long adjustment period lol. It does take a while for the contact to adjust, like even as I'm typing this I'm seeing double and it's a bit blurred in one eye. Also, maybe I need to get different lenses, I find that my eyes feel really dry, even after putting eye drops. I need a lot of eye drops every so often to make my eyes feel better. My friend said it might be the lenses, so we'll see how this goes after this trial period.

Back Again

Hello again! It's been a while since I've been on here. Mainly because of life's ups and downs. I've been feeling really low about myself and decided I needed to change. Hopefully it takes, or more like hopefully I'm ready to sustain change. What's changed for me? I'm at a professional part in my life where I've been feeling stagnant and want more or change or both. And personally, I got to the point where I got too comfortable and just stopped focusing on my health goals/gains cause my partner was okay with me the way I was/am. Which, I know, is super awesome and fortunate but I didn't like the run down and weighed down feeling I had when literally and figuratively. So, for the last few months, I've been doing a dietbet, which I'm not great at. I feel like I always get close to my goal but never get there, which would've made me feel down in the past. But now, I just take it and move onto the next month and hope I make it then. Alo...

BEASTing Out

Well, I finally did it. I took the plunge into Body Beast. I like to lift so I thought this would be fun. And I'm sure it is fun if I didn't feel like puking during the workout. It's been a while since I've had this happen. I thought I gave myself enough time in between dinner and my workout. Maybe not? Or was I just working out that hard? I didn't feel like I did. It was a Build: Chest/Tri's day so I used light weights for like all my sets since I tweaked my left shoulder and didn't want to train one side heavy than the other cause I'd like some symmetry. Either way, I'm gonna keep on. Tomorrow is Legs and I do love a leg day, even if I hate it the next two days after. I'm still doing the Les Mills classes and videos. I did Body Pump this week. I should've taken that class as a sign to go easy on my shoulder now that I think about. I'll probably do some Combat or Sh'bam again for some cardio to go along with my Body Beast program. ...

Derailed In December And Still Off The Rails

So in December, I had every intention of being better, but it hasn't been going exactly as planned. It's actually been kinda bad. I've been a bit derailed. Maybe it was the holidays. Maybe it’s because I’ve been a little bit down and depressed. Maybe it was the weather of the season. Maybe it was and is all the working I've been doing. Actually, now that I think about it, it's all of the above on top and being in school this semester that’s in my way. My workouts have been sporadic. Work has me drained more than usual. And being anemic and having poor nutrition as of late hasn't helped either. I don’t sleep as much because I work too much. One job has me up at 3 a.m. And the other job, when I work, has me up till like 11 p.m. If I schedule my workouts before work, then I’ll be up at like 2 a.m. I need to find a balance and change. So to kind of start to change off things, I took on a trainer. It was going alright I suppose until like last month. I starte...
