I’m getting a little bit frustrated with my weight loss progress, or should I say lack of progress? For weeks I’ve been standing still. I don’t know what it is or why, but everytime I lose between 1 or 2 kilo’s all of the sudden and then I’m standing still for weeks no matter what I try.
I don’t have to lose weight fast, but it would be nice if the weight could go down in a steady pace, to see results on a regular basis. Any tips welcome!
Yesterday I went to work on my new bike and I really liked it. Bike riding is just so relaxing and it’s a great way to really see the nature (got to ride partly through the woods). Work itself was crazy, very busy until the last hour and a half. My cousin was there as well; he was swimming with his two kids. We hardly ever see each other so it was nice to have a quick chat and catch up. I was working with the old fart again. I don’t know what his problem is, he always tries to make other people feel like they are 3 years old again. Usually whatever he says just goes in one ear and out the other. It’s not worth my time and energy to listen to all his negative comments. I finished 1,5 hours later than we were supposed to because he just doesn’t know how to work a bit faster when it comes to cleaning up at the end of the day. So annoying! Anyway, the ride home was pretty relaxing and felt actually pretty good until I got home. I had a shower and once again that little bit of headache that I had developed into a major one. I almost start to hate working days because they always end up in bad headaches.
I got asked to work today, but I politely declined (or rather told them that I really could not work today, not even one hour). I don’t feel like it and most of all after they recently offered me a contract of only 15 hours I really do not feel the need to do so much overtime anymore. Every week I’ve been working double the hours of my contract so when they told me they could only give me 15 hours on contract I felt a little bit insulted. Everyone is doing overtime and yet they can’t give me a better contract? Well, that’s fine with me, but don’t expect me to do any more overtime.
Today I was planning on going to the gym again, but I don’t think I have the time for it. Fortunately I got almost 2 hours of bike riding in yesterday so at least I’ve had some form of exercise. Today the hubby’s got to go to the chiropractor and after that I’m going to the hospital to see my nephew. I’m bringing his brother with me so they can play together.
Wish you all a good day!
Today was a beautiful sunny day and luckily I had the day off. In the morning I got my butt back into the gym and did my cardio program, after that I went home, had a nice shower and did some much needed laundry and dish-washing chores.
The plan was to go to the hospital in the afternoon, but it got cancelled because otherwise my nephew would have too many visitors. Instead I went to my parents who are baby sitting my other little nephew. I played a bit with him and tried out my new bicycle. My dad got me another one as my old bike (over 50 years old) was about to fall apart. Isn’t it sweet?
So, today was a very quiet day. Tomorrow the weather will be even better, but unfortunately I have to work the late shift, so my guess is that it will be late before I’m going home. I’m kind of thinking about going to work on my bike. I really could use the exercise, but I know that usually after work I have a bad headache and I’m not sure if I want to go for a long bike ride when I have a bad headache.
Other than that life seems okay around here although I really could do with a nice holiday somewhere!!
I just came home from a long day of work. I wish the life of a lifeguard was a glamorous as people think it is. Fact is that today I’ve been standing in the burning sun all day with no time for breaks, which means that I quickly had to stuff my turkey sandwich in my mouth between change of positions. Because of the nice weather it was pretty busy and I had to stay a bit longer. Fortunately I didn’t get sunburned too much, but I do have a headache and I’m feeling pretty tired. Even the hot shower didn’t do the trick of making me feel refreshed again.
So.. what’s in store for the evening? Not much!!! Probably watch a movie and see if I can get rid of this annoying headache. Tommorrow it’s bringing my butt back into the gym!
Hope you all have a good evening.
So, I did the max. fit test this morning. It was very interesting to see the results. First of all; my blood pressure is too high and my breathing is too fast. I have to start to do relaxation/breathing exercises to fix it. It’s normal to have 40 breaths a second, but my rate was 77 per second. So lots to improve… The good thing is that they found out what my max. heart rate is and on what heart rate I can train; 173 bpm. A good improvement of my cardio program; from 142 bpm to 173 bpm. I’m finally working up a sweat, but it’s still fairly comfy to work out on.
In the afternoon I went to visit my little nephew at the hospital. He was a very happy chappy this afternoon, even getting cheeky with the nurses. A big improvement as only a week and a half ago they kept him in coma on the intensive care. It really warmed my heart to see that big smile back on his face. He’ll still be in the hospital for a couple more weeks. In three weeks we will hear whether or not he needs a bone marrow transplantation..
