Today though, I'm dizzy. Kinda making me rethink my pending cardio, but it's just so QUIET and nice to have this house all to myself, I wanna take advantage - crank my tunes, blast it out on the treadmill.
I found some old notes, when I used to keep my food journals a few yrs ago (before I got pregnant). I was 30LBS lighter then. Sigh. But I was consistent with my journaling, and I stuck to my plans. Just reviewing shit like that helps keep me grounded now, so I'm super happy I kept that book!
Decided to revisit some of my old habits - switch up my menu for the day, try to adopt the same exercise routine (Turbo Jam anyone?!) haha
So in an attempt to shake off my massive dizzy spell, I had 1/4c steel cut oats, 3 strawberries, and 3 hard boiled egg whites. Laxative tea and cayenne pepper pills: check. 195 cal. I can kill that off on the treadmill no problem. Already downed 1L of water. Downloaded some sweet new tunes onto my ipod, got my running shoes on, still feeling dizzy.
To get me revved and to put an end to the silence in this house (I LOVE it, but it's time to shake it off), I'm cranking some classic tunes.
Love.
Tackling my cardio - hope to kick some serious ass these next few days (taking the lead from the past few) so that come Sunday, I can get a proper number on my scale. Been afraid to. I have a general idea, but I wanna give myself a good, fair, clean start.
Oy, now it sounds like I'm procrastinating - ok treadmill, it's just you, me, and Bob Dylan:
**Post-cardio update (I have no more notebooks to track this with, so onto the blog she goes):
- add to my tally a can of sugar-free Rockstar (20cal): 215 cal
- 30 min treadmill: 248 cal burned
Would like to try to get in a bit more exercise, not now though - I am hurting and still cosmically dizzy - gonna go lie down. Supper will be spinach salad with a few dried cranberries, celery and tomatoes. 1tbsp of ff Italian dressing for 10cal, and I never need a full tbsp.
Going to lie down now....
The only time I get the house to myself is if no one stays home from church sick. Then I put on a ton of movies and just ride the exercise bike. When I'm watching movies I can go on for hours while still having fun. Burns a lot of calories :) I have been super dizzy lately too but I tried eating better and it didn't help so now I am happily eating what I want (or as little as I want) and saying the dizziness is just vertigo issues. Try and get better though ok?
ReplyDeleteI wish I had an exercise bike! You're lucky! Soooo nice to get the place to yourself, eh? I might have to borrow the vertigo excuse :) Thanks! Hope you had a bit of time for yourself today (wasn't today church day?!) And if you didn't, then hope you had a good day regardless :) xoxo
