I will not weigh myself everyday. I will stop weighing myself everyday. I will weigh once a week. I will be less than 200 lbs soon. No more head games. I'll get there. Patience. Peace.

It's so good to be back in school :)

I haven't been in a gym since December and today was my first day back. Over the break I bought a new pair of much needed workout pants, because my other ones were just really big and getting worn out. It's the little things like a new pair of nice looking pants from an actual fitness/ sports outlet (I can fit in those clothes now!) that keep me happy and motivated.

During the break I gained 4 lbs and then lost them, so that's a maintain which is really good, however, today I realized I have fallen back in another aspect. I had made cardiovascular fitness gains before and have pretty much lost them or at least it seems so.

I always worked out at 80%/ High Intensity

Before break: My speed was 3.5 and the Incline was 11.0

Today: My speed was 3.0 and the Incline was 4.0

So at both of these, my heart rate is the same. I hope I'm making sense.

This semester I am actually going to start a Small circuit on the weigh machines, seeing as I had lost half fat and half fat free mass in 3 months last time. This semester I want to gain muscle and lose fat, hopefully keeping my fat free mass where it is currently.

I'm adding all sorts of little things to keep me motivated - another chart, different recipes, more music to the ipod (I really love fast paced music and pop songs for working out)

Ok, so as it looks right now, I am going to work out 5x a week (M-F), 30 minutes of cardio each day, and 3x a week weight training (M-W-F). The little guide I got for it says to leave 48 hours in between each session but no more than 96. It also says not to lift weights until the muscles are warm so I will do the cardio first and then get on the machines.

Today I'm going to meet another youtuber. We've been meaning to meet for some time now but with school and her work schedule it just wasn't happening. Her YT ID is wtharetheydoing; Fran. She has been a support to me since I began youtube and I am thrilled to meet her! We're going to a place near Philadelphia, and it's my first time driving out there. I am nervous about it, but I also have the GPS with me, so I can't get lost :D

I think because we chatted in stickam a lot and over the phone I am not nervous about meeting her at all.

Also, bra shopping! Yay! I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be the same size today that I was in the summer. I don't have enough bras and that is becoming a problem.

Weigh in 1/15/09

School starts Tuesday, and it's a mix of yay/ugh for me. Yay for the gym, for learning, and for feeling like I have more of a purpose. Ugh for the stress

I'm sick and I don't feel like making a video right now. Today is weigh in day. In the city, I ate lots of great food. I had.. Thai, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Colombian, and I don't remember what else. I didn't stuff myself other than once, I walked a lot and didn't drink much more than 4 glasses of water a day, usually in the wee hours. I hate public restrooms and this is why. I expected a gain but instead woke up to a loss of 1 lb. Very cool.

I'm ready for school, and for killing it at the gym again.

My weight as of this morning is 206.6 lbs
