29 October 2009

went to the gym yesterday.
went to get on the elliptical and guess who is there?
4 of my old friends from high school.
granted, they were never really my FRIENDS, but more along the lines of we just had all of our classes together.
they were all sporty
and athletic and did like...soccer and crap in high school.
well- apparently all they ate in college was beer and french fries because HOLY CRAP did they all gain a lot of weight.
I felt bad thinking this...because they all were clearly unhappy...but i looked so much better than all of them. and ithought to myself, go you! because my entire life i haven't been ahtletic or sport(DEFINITELY STILL NOT) but i was in better shape than all those girls! It felt GOOD to be the skinny one on the treadmill. WOO HOO go me!


okay, now that i sound like a complete bitch i'm going to go. i have thirteen minutes to eat lunch today, except i brought a can of soup and to walk the 1/4 mile to the teachers lounge from my classroom would be my entire time...plus i have to cover math and need some time to get down there and get my act together. math makes me feel incompetent and i hate it. i hate substituting and i'm sick of "paying my dues" this new LTS thing i got was a piece of crap and i think they only reason they put me in here was b/c they knew iw ouldnt have a nervous breakdown. i'm not certified in this stuff, but i can definitely teach kids how to clarify, predict, question, and summarize what theyre reading. but apparently b/c im not certified they need to check up on me every 35 seconds. WELL if you didnt think i was capable...whyd you put ANYONE in the position??? UGH. its so complicated and im stopping before i cry. ughhhhhhhhh i need to go to the GYM.

woo monday! okay...went to philly this weekend and i have to say, i don't think i did that badly. (see food diary for full results...)

i made okay choices considering the situation- i got the steak and baked potato when i could have gotten the bacon cheeseburger and french fries...got a salad with little cheese, no bacon, eggs, or bbq sauce dressing...and i ate good, filling food for breakfast. okay, okay, i had a cheesesteak on sunday but i was in PHILLY. so...i had to. ;)

I found something very interesting out on Thursday. My trainer came over to talk to me when I was on the elliptical and we got to talking about RDI vs weight watcher points and everything. She said she likes weight watchers for people who are just starting...it helps with portion control and getting people used to watching what they eat. However...she said when someone loses almost all of their weight and starts exercising regularly...they need to consume more. I explain my concerns with being over points and under my RDI and she said to go by the RDI. She also said...and this was the astonishing thing...that I should be burning NO MORE THAN 500 calories more than I consume. NO MORE THAN 500 CALORIES?!?!?! I was all sorts of excited because I've been consistently burning almost 1000 calories more than i eat. She said its the same thing as starving yourself, pretty much. You need to eat a certain amount for your body to feel okay with burning calories and getting rid of fat. I was completely freaked out and she wasn't surprised and said it was a common misconception. So...I'm going to make an effort to eat more, I guess. Not necessarily pig out on the chocolate bars...and I'm also going to make it a point not to eat after 9pm...and we'll see what happens. I feel myself getting smaller..I have less jiggle on my arms and my thighs have considerably shrunk. So I'm okay with the fact that I've only lost 4 pounds or so...because muscle weights 5x more than fat.


Okay...done ranting.

I've been going to the gym 4 days a week. Is that enough? I don't think so, but I cannnnottt bring myself to go on Wednesdays. I've been using the weekend as my days off, which is nice because its my day off from EVERYTHING...so I can relax and do what I want to do. I'm determined to go 4, if not 5 times again this week...which is going to be difficult with being in Philly and all. We're leaving Friday morning at like..9 or so, so my goal is to go before Wally and his brother pick me up in the morning. Think it's possible? Probably. Will it happen? Who knows. I know I'll get exercise because we'll be walking all over the place down there...but at the same time it's not like I'll be preparing the food so I'll need to be extra vigilant...Sigh. I have another appointment with Tamara (the trainer) in a few weeks and I really want there to be a considerable difference...I just don't know if that's possible.

Also, I'm SO MUCH MORE HUNGRY after the gym. I go everday immediately after school and by the time I get home I'm freaking starving. Dinner is usally almost ready or else I make myself something quick but I always snack after dinner. Its my downfall. I have such a good day and everyone goes to sleep and I'm up either watching tv or on the computer and then all of a sudden its like I can't help myself. It's how it was when I was at KU, too...I'd be up late and just eat my life away after 9pm. I need to seriously work on it.

okay, I think I'm done rambling and my lunch is almost over. Byeee.
