Dani's Diary

I feel really tired today, i think its because last week i was trying to be in bed by 9:45 and asleep before 10:30, but i have had homework and trouble falling straight to sleep for the last couple of days. I wish i could help the workload (like by possibly doing it now instead of updating lol) but if i dont get this done then i wont be able to concentrate. Im planning on exercising tonight, i felt bad about not doing anythign lasst night, i had dome restless moments when i was doing homework, but i got a lot done last night that i needed to do, plus i count my three hours in the forest on sunday as a nicec workout...so i have only left a day between workouts....which i hate, id rather workout every day and get results faster and more dramatically. but my schoolwork is important and i've been trying to establish it as my priority. I wish this was highschool again where i could put little effort and do well anyways...ok now that i have rambles on...here is my day today:

Breakfast:6:30am: life multigrain cereal with milk and blackberries

Snack:9:30am: apple slices with peanut butter

Lunch:12:30: lite tuna with mayo sandwich on white ( ran out of whole wheat) and a banana

Snack:3:30pm: yogurt with a yogurt granola bar

Dinner:6:30pm: ?

And this was my dinner yesturday:

Dinner:7:45pm: Pasta, it was a creamy broccoli pasta, it had a lot of veggies in it, but i was anoyed that it had to have creame in it at all. It difficult to make healthy choices when the only options you have are the ones presented to you...oh well....then there was homemade veggie pizza and i had a small slice, it was pretty good, it had potatos on it with broccoli and onions and pineapple...yummy, but i had the smallest piece so i dont feel bad about it

i want to start using the rowing machine at my school gym. I wonder how to start incorporating this into my workout. I hear it is really good for your entire body. Is this considered a form of cardio? or weight training?
 
I'd say cardio, due to the repetitious motion you're expected to complete (not a fixed set of reps and sets like weight lifting). There's one at my gym that I've been on, but I've not yet used it for a full workout. I started with the elliptical, then incorporated spinning, and now jogging on the treadmill. The gym I go to also has an upper body ergometer which looks like bicycle pedals you move with your hands - again, I've not tried it, but probably will give it a go eventually.
 
Unfortunatly i ruined a perfectly good day yesturday. I had a quarter pounder from McD's. It was gross lol, but heres my store: I got on the wrong bus and ended up about 45minutes away from my regualr bus station. And because this bus station was in a more remote place, they didnt have regular buses leaving, only dropping off (since it was the end of the day) so i had to sit there and freeze my ass off waiting for my mom to A)find out where the f*ck i was and B) get there. So instead of being home around 5, i got home 7:30. So it was a fast food dinner...and i felt like i was going to burst and i felt like i shouldnt ever walk back into mcdonalds every again.

here is the plan
for today:

Breakfast:6:30am: whole wheat toast with peanut butter, yogurt and a nice camomile tea with no sugar...and a vitamin C tablet (everyone is feeling sick in my house and im dead set on stopping all sicknesses before they start)

Snack:9:30am: yogurt granola bar

Lunch:12:30: Pita with romain leaves a table spoon of mayo and low fat high protien smoked turkey slices (about 60 grams which is 100 cals) And possibly a banana

Snack:3:30: Possibly a banana (this all depends if i have change left over after i buy a text book, hopefully i do, then i can have a proper snack and go to the fruit bar and get some grapes and oranges, yummm)

Dinner:6:30: ??
 
Well, if nothing else you learned first hand why it's good to stay away from fast food, so chalk it up to a learning experience.
 
Yes learning experience and let me tell you, if I have too much grease at one sitting, it tears my body up. It's not a pretty sight, let me tell you. Just a warning in case it happens to you.
 
ive been having a horrible past week, i havent exercised since las sunday and i ate junk, alot. Im sick and i'm on antibiotics. I dont feel like i have any energy and its hard for me to keep breath just sitting here (it doesnt help that they are cleaning the caff tables around me with fummy stuff).
I am eating really clean in the day and then screwing up at night. My mom is sick too so instead of waiting for a healthy dinner ive been eating out. I had taco bell chicken wrap thing and i had McDonalds...twice. Its been really gross and i'm pissed that i've hit this barrier.

I decided to get myself out of this funk, but i had to take it easy last night because i was wiped out, so i did only half of this weight training routine out of Oxygen's special edition for January

Today:

Breakfast: 6:30: Cereal w/ skim milk and yogurt

Snack:9:30: crackers

Lunch: 12:30: brown rice with baked chicken from dinner last night & a banana

Snack: 3:30: granola bar

Dinner:6:30: Meatloaf with corn

Snack:11:30: green tea (no sugar)

Last night was a late one.
I got tickets to see this hipnotist at my school to celebrate my boyfriend's completion of his GED.
It was this guy named Tony Lee and he is a XXX hipnotist and it was the funniest thing i have ever seen. He was great and i alomost wanted to get hipnotized.

I resisted the junk food and alchohol i could have had and had a green tea instead of a hot chocolate with Justin. we got home around 12 and i was tired but could not get to sleep right away...
so i slept through taking my antibiotics this morning at 3am lol, i dont even remember my alarm going off and turning it off. so i'm changing the dose times and it will be like this now: one at 7 am one at 3pm and one at 10pm. This is the exact same schedual as before, except i dont have to wake up to take any of them...anywho this is today:

Breakfast: 7:00am: 1/2 cup skim milk, oatmeal (cinimon apple yumm)

Snack:10:00am: Kellogg's All-Bran Honey nut cereal bar

Lunch:1:00pm: 1/2 pita with 1/2 can of tuna thus 1/2 tbls mayo, banana

Snack:4:30pm: banana muffin my grandmother makes without butter so its super healthy

Dinner:7:30pm: pasta with tomato sauce

dessert:9:30: a tablespoon of vanilla cherry icecream with a cut up banana and a handful of blackberries

Im hoping to go to the gym but i have homework so we shall see how much i can get finished
:edit: went to the gym, did about 20 minutes of various ab work, 3 sets of 12 stuats with 20lbs free weight, 3 sets of 12 lunges with 20lbs weights then almost 20 mins on the step machine, i would have done more but i had to leave to catch my bus

went to bed at 10 last night and woke up soooo rested i feel awsome.

I have a presentation in my last class today, its my very first presentation in uni. Im nervous and to be honest im not quite finished it yet...but i have a two hour break to finish and photocopy and whatnot...

there is no food in my house so heres my day:

Breakfast:7:00am: oatmeal (1 pack) and a cup of skim milk

Snack:10:00am: i will be buying something, hopefully fruit

Lunch:1:00pm: this egg salad with tomato pita that my sister's boyfriend made for me this morning

Snack:4:00pm: good question, im either buying something again or, if my mother isnt feeling 100% at work again, im going home to find something to eat

A workout at the gym depends completly on whether my mom will want to go home early, if she does i will go home and jump on the bike, if not then i plan for 20 on the treadmill and 30 on the recumbant
 
ok so i've been cheating and i've stopped exercising (for about two months eek!) so i've decided to get back into a routine.
I have been bad with junk food, which is strange because i dont even particualrily enjoy the junk i am eating.
I havent gone up on the scale but i figure i've gained weight and lost muscle.
So i have purchased a box set of tony little videos and started thoes (im very sore the next day lol)
also i have an 'on the ball' exercise video that i count as more of a stretch/warmup tink because it isnt a 'feel the burn' video like Tony Little's things.

That brings me to a question, does anyone have Tony Little videos? Does anyone have the gazell? i'd like to hear baout anyone's experiences with this piece of equipment. Does it do a good job? thanks
 
I had a nice reaction the other night, tuesday. I went over to my boyfriends house, where i am all the time, and his mother asked me if i had lost any weight. It felt good for someone to notice.
I've been doing the tony video (its 35minutes) every other day and then a quick ab video routine everyday.
Im using the video suggestions and doing the tony little video for two weeks and the ad video for 10 workouts (10 days) and then switching to the next videos.
So I am putting them to the test, im eating clean and doing the workouts as suggested, lets see if the 'visible results in 10 workouts' think is true.

today i have to eat out, i didnt have time to make food i was running late this morning. But i will have greek food, some salad with chicken and hold the yummy yogurt dressing, possibly a gyros. Otherwise i'll have fruit for snacks, and im on my second bottle of water.
Yesturday Justin had mcdonalds and i had a fry, just one, it was sooo salty. Other then that i did well food wise.
We were hoping to take up a kickboxing class to replace our OC night, since the OC got cancelled, but its expensive! maybe we can find something else, but kickboxing is my first choice for sure.

Edit: Gah forget the greek food i was looking up nutritional value and the only thing i would eat now is a piece of chicken...i wonder if there would just sell me chicken...

i <3 tony

Lunch: i ended up meeting with my cuzin and getting miso soup and sushi, 3 kinds two pieces each. so i was FULL afterwards...and to be honest i am not feeling 100% in the stomach region right now. Usually i feel good after sushi but i dont know it feel icky.
tonight is a tony little night.
I think its interesting how people dont tend to like tony little, but i find him to be such a motivating positive person, who acts like he really really does want to help you feel better about urself.
I wish i could have tony as my in home personal trainer, he'd probably do wonders with me.
Also, i like him because he believes in celebrating life and not being hard on yourself. I <3 tony little
 
im planning on meeting my boyfriend in town (he lives on the north hill of our town and i live on the south hill and 'town' is the valley between them). But we're gonna bike there. Which means we're going to bike from there to someone's house. I've never biked uphill before lilke that. I imagine it will be a disaster. But if i like it i think there will be a lot of bike riding this summer.

I just had:
A bowl of life cereal and a banana w/ skim milk
 
ok its been a few days...we went on that bike ride, for about an hour and a half almost two hours. It was fun, but very muddy. We tried a couple of hills and my butt was sore for a day after lol.
I cant wait for the next oppertunity we have to go for a ride.
Today is April the 2nd and my 19th birthday is on the 13th (legal drinking age woot) and that is going to be a friday to remember....or forget lol.

I had a headache last thursday so i skipped my tony little video and compensated with the bike ride the next day. and then i got home late on saturday so i really did my tony little video on sunday but at 1:30am. I'm going to do it at a nice early time tonight.

One more day in my 10 workouts to see results ab trial. I'm thinking i can see results but i have to find the tape measure before i'll know.
I should have recorded my measurements but i do know that my waist was 32inches...i know because the weekend before i started we watched the obesity special on CNN (i think) and they say that a healthy waist size is below 33inches so i was happy to see that i was 'healthy'.

I have exams next week and the week after and then i am finished my first year of university. I will try to balance studying and working out during thoes two weeks. I know that it is important to do well on my exams but i need to exercise for my sanity so i will use breaks to workout and help me destress and regroup. I only really need a couple of days of studying for each sugbject and i have four exams. My first exam is my worst exam and then its all uphill from there.
I have no lunch planned today, breakfast was one egg with chedder cheese on a whole wheat english muffin.
I was hoping to go home early but my ride is a little selfish and she's leaving without me. Shes one of my stresses in life. She wont except money for parking and driving me since we live on the same street and she figures i keep her awake in the morning, but it sucks because she then owes me nothing and can be 20 minutes late every mornign and if im not waiting to spring through the door at the very second she decides to grace me with her presence, she'll call and wake up my nephew.
Its not a nice way to start your day waiting by the front door with ur bowl of cereal. And then shes a horrible driver and i am praying for my life in the passenger seat.
Worst of all is the fact that shes overweight (not the problem) and preches about how healthy shes trying to be, and then eating junk, and muffins, drinking diet coke and eating anything thats packaged, like pringles for breakfast, and saying how she eats BLTs and how its healthy because shes making microwaved bacon. I have never seen her have water only pop and juice, she doesnt eat fruit and hates veggies. And shes stopped in the morning more then a few times to get McDonalds breakfast. She blames her weight on dairy but doesnt cut it out because she just 'loves cheese'.
I think it bothers be because she complains about her weight and then says shes making an effort, when i know she isnt. The most exercise she gets is walking around walmart where her boyfriend works. So it bothers me that as i sit there actually making an effort, shes complaining about how healthy she is and not losing any weight.
Ok wow this has been a really long post out of nowhere.
Tony little workout tonight and last ab workout before moving on to the next tape tonight.
 
It's interesting how we see ourselves and how others see us. Maybe to her it's an effort to do what she's doing - but she seems to lack the drive/willpower to take it to the next level. Unfortunately the most you can do is grin and bear it, unless you would like to action somehow by confronting her beliefs. (Like showing her a list of healthy foods from an outside source, and asking how many of those she eats.) Thing is, most likely you will only be able to listen to the stories only so much before (one day) you'll finally reach your limit and tell her what you really think.
 
i know i wont say anything to her because i know how much of a touchy subject my weight was to me when i didnt haveit under control....so i wouldnt want to do that to her...its just grated on my nerves for a while now and has manifested itself in my last post lol
