Day One.
here's a bit of history:
Since last july I gave up on my exercise. In July of 2010 I started off 3 days a week at the gym, jogging goal was 2 miles in 30 mins. I kept trying until I needed a new goal. By december I was at the gym 4 days a week and once a week was running with my dog. I've been holding a healthy diet since I started, but the holidays I did splurge a bit. by March I was going to the gym 5 nights a week and street jogging about 3 mornings a week. Basically by the end of June I was going to the guy 6 nights a week, jogging every morning, I tried to jump start my body with a liquid diet for the last 2 weeks, I was drinking past my weight in ounces of water per day, I didn't mention the other form of exercise i did, I was doing some muscle toning with my problem areas while at the gym, but was more focused on a cardio workout.
All in all, a year of trying.. I felt better, much better, but I was the same weight, same inches, same size clothing, not loose at all.
2 years before I did half of that for a year and I lost 40lbs and was much more tone.... gained 50lbs in the following year when I slacked off in excersize, but not diet.
Since last year, I have given up, barely eat, doesn't eat healthy, have not really exercised, and lost 5 lbs.
Whats wrong with my body? Does age really make that big of a difference?
I should have continued the work out, but it's hard when barely anything has paid off. I'm healthy... and morbidly obese. My doctor can't make heads or tails with it. I don't look morbindly obese, but unfortunately over 40lbs overweight is called such. I do have alot of muscle, no one believes my weight, but I'm not happy with it. I'm not looking to be skinny, but I want to feel good and not have so much fat on me.
It can take time, but over time people usually have change. even if it takes months or a year, there is change, there s difference, even if it's a lb a week after the first month, it's something. it's hard not to be disappointed and hard to continue something, even with changing it up over time, doing more, and it made no difference in my body's outlook? but... nothing will happen if I don't try. then again... yeah something did happen when I gave up... lost 10lbs, gained a few, lost another 9, gained a few, averaged out to about 5lbs since I quit. I don't understand.. I went down a pant size. but the point is.. now i feel like crap... and at least I had that.
SO... I'm starting again. SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE.
Day one: 182lbs. I lost 3 more since last july, total of 8lbs with doing NOTHING. bleh... anyways, I can't find my measuring tape, so I can't give inches at this point, last I checked a couple months ago I was 41", 36", 42". So I can go by that at least until I find my tape or get a new one.
I've done some stretches, and 12 mins on my ab machine. I'll post back later after the gym after work.
Breakfast: 1 cup of oatmeal and yogurt. 16oz of water.... and yes, I had also 16oz of coffee... I'm not ready to quit that yet, gotta start slow.
