I am still alive

Just so you know; I am still alive. I know I haven’t posted much. I have been struggling with lack of motivation and a lot of pain in my neck and bad headaches. It makes it almost impossible for me to get back into my exercise regime. I blame it mostly on stress - it is literally making me sick. In the beginning I got so frustrated that I couldn’t exercise, now I have simply lost the motivation.

I keep my eating under control so I don’t gain any weight. I do have to keep telling myself that I need to eat more regular. I always eat breakfast, it’s just that every now and then I just forget to eat some of the other meals. Bad, bad Dutsji!

Little update

So this week has not gone the way I wanted to. I was back in the gym on the 13th doing my little cardio program. Unfortunately my neck really played up again and I layed in bed for the rest of the day with pain in my neck and a massive headache. The next day I couldn’t go to the gym because I had to be in the city, but I made up for it by walking lots of kilometers and stairs and hills. Thursday and Friday I woke up with massive headaches so I decided to take it easy. I hate not being able to get back into the routine of going to the gym every day. Having a routine makes losing weight so much easier. I am not going to give up though. I have planned on taking it super duper easy this weekend in the hope I can get back into it again on Monday. I hope you all have a good weekend!

Exercise 12th of May

After a busy week I’ve finally managed to get my bum back in the gym. I had been dreading and putting off my weigh-in. But this morning I decided I had to weigh myself, even if it was just to see how badly it had spiraled out of control. I hardly dared to look at the numbers. But… to my surprise I had not gained any weight. That was a good sign, especially since I have not exercised regurarly and I haven’t really stuck to my meal plan. But on the other hand I haven’t lost any weight either, so I really need to get back into it again.

My neck is feeling much better now that I am not so stressed anymore, but I still thought it would be better to only do cardio training. I can tell I am not exercising regurarly, because I was pretty puffy and my heart was beating like a maniac. But it feels so good to see that lazy sweat come out of your body!
