Exercise 10-04-2008

Yeah!!! I have my own car back. The alarm was set again for 7 am and it’s back to my normal routine of going to the gym in the morning. Oh my goodness, not or hardly training for the last couple of weeks really makes a difference in your fitness. Unbelievable how fast you can lose your fitness if you slack off for a bit! When I finished my cardio work out of an hour my fast was as red as a lobster. And even though I was a bit puffy, it was a great feeling to be back in the gym.

Unfortunately I didn’t do too well in the food department today. I started off great, but had some KFC chips for lunch and icecream and bon bons as dessert for dinner

Cardio

• 20 min. Cross trainer - level 4 - 13 km/h
• 30 min. Bike - level 6 - 80/90 rpm
• 10 min. Treadmill - 5.6 km/h - Incline 5

What’s on your playlist?

Usually I do not participate in memes, but this one I simply could not pass up. The meme is about the music you listen to while you work out. Not long ago my hubby has given me an iPod shuffle so I could listen to my own music in the gym. Good music can truly motivate you and fire you up again during a work out.The purpose of the meme is to get new ideas about songs you can put on your own playlist. I think it’s a great idea because I am always looking for new songs to add to my iPod shuffle.

Copy & Paste the following into your post:

Rules of the ‘What’s on your playlist?’ meme

1. Link back to the original meme post: What’s on your playlist? This will send a pingback. Your URL with your playlist will than be added so others can see what is on your playlist.
2. Link back to the post of the person who tagged you. This will send a pingback. If you receive a pingback, add a link to that post on the bottom of your post. This way you will get a collection of links to other playlists.
3. Make a list of 10 songs that you listen to while you exercise. The music on your playlist must be suitable as work out music. So no ballads from Celine Dion, etc.
4. And the final rule; tag other people to participate in this meme.

My work out playlist:

1. Foo Fighters - The Pretender
2. The Ultimate Fighter Theme Song
3. Korn - Good God
4. Godsmack - I am doing the best that I can
5. Metallica - Enter Sandman
6. Seether - Remedy
7. The Prodigy - Breathe
8. Slipknot - Wait and Bleed
9. Smashing Pumpkins - Zero
10. Cradle of Filth - Paint it black

I would like to tag everyone who likes to participate. That way everyone can do the meme.

Back on track

All this time I thought I needed some tough love and a kick in the butt to get motivated again, but the opposite turned out to be true. This weekend we went over to see some friends and out of nowhere I got my first compliment. Just the fact that somebody noticed that I lost weight and told me I looked great has gotten me all fired up again!

I haven’t actually been to the gym yet due to medical appointments and my car that is still in the garage (yes, already two bloody weeks!). I hope to get my car back in the next day or two. Borrowing a car was handy, but you start to feel so dependent on other people and I truly hate that. So I hope to go to the gym again when my car is back in my possession.

I have, however, picked up my diet again. I enjoy eating healthy so much that I already started to wonder why on earth I felt the need to put all that junkfood in my mouth. Good thing is that I didn’t gain any weight. Anyway, I am back on track to my next goal: 75 kilo’s!

Kick me in the butt!

I feel absolutely SHIT! I could seriously strangle or torture some people at the moment.  I’ve turned to my nasty emotional eating habit. For the last couple of days I’ve been eating any junk food that came into my sight.  The worse thing of it all is that it seems that I can’t snap out of this destructive mood.

Every morning I set the alarm so I can go to the gym, but I feel so depressed that every effort to move seems too much right now. So I haven’t been to the gym for days. This morning I had to go because I had an appointment with my PT, but he decided to stop the training after only 15 minutes because he thought my head wasn’t in it. He thought it was useless to continue the training what only made me feel even more shit because I was really making an effort. I seriously felt like crying my eyes out like a little baby!

Even though I’ve been eating absolutely crap and have not exercised the way I used to I’ve still lost weight. I know I have to snap out of my depression and get on with it, but I don’t know how. Please someone give me a kick in the butt!!!

8 Week Challenge - Day 55 & 56

The last two days of the 8 Week Body Challenge are spend at home. I am very stressed at the moment due to circumstances and somehow I am not able to pick up myself up and get on with it. I am having headaches, I feel weak and feel shit about not going to the gym.

This is not how I wanted to finish the 8 week challenge.
