Squats and stuff!

If I am looking to do less impacting exercises, then squats is the way to go. Need to 15 for my starting day. Though move up to 5 extra, twice a day perhaps on M/T/F/S/S. Leaving W/Th as off days to spend with Patrick. Though if I were to stick with a certain number of squats per day would that be better?

In a bit of lady health news, my flow is now more regular. So here's to exercise.
Now to get in gear and drink more smoothies in the morning, skipping the need to eat something unhealthy in the morning. Super proud of the fact that I am not eating hordes of candy as meals. Think along the lines of 3kg bags of costco bags of candy. Now it is weening myself off of other sweets. Though the other hard part is catching the over eating again. There are days where I find myself oinking out hard.

From last time still doing D.D.R.Taking it down a notch to burn about 300 calories twice a day. This meets the goal of burning 600 calories in day along with the calories I would burn from doing the squats. Which got me to thinking about how many calories do you burn doing squats? It is 0.096 x (your body weight)= is the amount of calories you would burn.
For me it is 0.096 x 328lbs=  31.488. This may not seem like alot. Yet if I were to do 50 squats per day. Twice a day I would end up burning 3148.8 calories.

Now what am I going to do with this? Go for it and try my damnedest to stick to it.

Cheers! 

Back to basics

Two weeks ago I started playing touch rugby, after the initial four times of going. I notice that I enjoyed it. Though my body didn't enjoy it at all. I began to notice that a couple of days afterwards my body wasn't recovering as quickly to the soreness. Though most of the touch players would say that is normal just learning to play.

However, I am going to switch up to walking and getting back to doing DDR more. It has been more than 4 months since the last time I actually went into workout mode. Tonight I did about 290 Kcal worth of DDRing. This is about an hour. Now compare that to touch rugby which does 700 Kcal in an hour. Yeah it would make more sense to do the rugby stuff more often. Though with DDR and walking it is less impart on my body,especially my ankles. Which surprises me. Thought that my knees would give me more issues.

On the bright-side of things I am able to walk more without feeling out of breath. An going up the stairs is not such a hard thing to do.

That reminds me, still have been working on the water intake. Along with keeping the sweets down to small amount. This has made me focus on making things for when I want something sweet. An cooking better meals. It is going to be interesting to have to make the changes to live a healthier life.

So here's to trying new things. An for at least for trying to get out of my comfort zone.
Cheers!

Water to drink

So these last few days I've been working on getting in 1 liter of water a day. I've gotten so up to half a liter.Though the biggest hang up that I am worried about is staying motivated to fix my exercise and sleep patterns.

Some days I find myself sleeping too much. Others days I find myself short on sleep. Though with the exercising it is remembering to go for a short walk or to do some planking. So the goal now is to balance these two and then get back to planking.

With that in mind I may get back to a balanced meal and smoothie plan. It felt good when I gave myself time to enjoy a healthy smoothie, Which means more fresh fruit as well.

Now to bring that same excitement to drinking water.

Cheers!

Falling off..

What no one tells you is that you'll need to question your motivations for loosing weight.
Looking deep within the part of yourself that remains hidden from other people. An it was there I found that what I truly wanted in my the depth of my self was to love me whole and tender. Even if it meant having some chicken tenders along the way.

Why does that matter? Well I now know when to say when. I notice how eating that whole pint of ice cream is not going to go so well in the morning. I am learning to say no when I want to binge eat through an emotion or when I purge eat things. I try now to find the root of the emotion and work out the problem. Along with questioning why would said food help said state of mind. Now do I still need to loose weight? Yes! Why, cause I need to be here for another sets of decades. Though it also means getting past the idea that loosing weight equals some form of thinness. That it is somehow the holy grail of form.

Now that I have fallen off the motivation bike, I can pick it up and go for it again. Though this would also mean changing the meals we eat. That is another post all together.  

No love

It has been an interesting journey. Though I now have figured it out. I dont love myself.

As long as I can't do that wholeheartedly. My weight will flux up and down. I can diet and change what I eat. If there is no love for self then I don't heal. An the same mistakes are repeated over and over.   

Mantra

Little by little, 

Day by Day. 

If you keep this up,

the fat will slowly melt away. 

Remember to keep with the flow, 

balancing your sway. 

As you play DDR throughout the 

days.

Today's workout proved that I can keep up with it. Getting better at doing half steps.

Did a 30 minute workout, not bad for burning 383 Kcal. I made sure to choose songs with a high step count and changing the jump steps(<--->) to other steps added. The more steps you do the more Kcal that you burn.

Though with the cut feature off, it makes it slightly difficult.


Well here's to more hard work.


Cheers.
