RUN FOREST RUN!

on a side note, volume wise, it was a lot of food, but calorie wise, I'm not so sure. My eating window doesn't open for another 4 hours and I'm fucking starving. Prolly didn't get enough food yesterday

[Aksannyi]

I hate when I eat and I'm hungry again right away, that's my biggest issue with food. I have been working really hard on it. It also helps (the not eating so much cause) that I'm broke as a joke lately and I can only buy exactly enough food for my two-week pay period.

Now if only I could stop getting people at work to buy me shit, and even when I decline they're all insistent upon it too. "NO I AM GOING TO BUY YOU THIS FROSTY YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT." Yes, I do fucking want it but I am trying to eat better so stop it! Thanks but no thanks people. It works sometimes. Sometimes even after I'm sure they understand that no means no, they still come back with an extra and, "Oh I guess you might as well have this one..." and since I'm so super cheap I can't stand to see anything go to waste I will eat it. And they know it. :/

Soon I will not be working with these guys though, so hopefully that will stop.



I'm thinking bike ride today. Tuesday's usually a run day. I'm not sure if I'm feeling it today.

This is what I hate about southern folk. I met a girl from the south that bought food she couldn't finish and no matter how many times I insisted I was fine, she kept persisting til I insisted I needed to go. I mean it's nice but nigga I said no, leave me the fuck alone.

[myreality]

Be more firm, tell them your on a strict diet regiment and this will destroy it or something similar. Or if that does not work, kick them in the crotch and run!

[Aksannyi]

They're coworkers and I like having a job.

If I could get away with that, I'd totally do it though. I keep telling them I am losing weight and I want to keep it that way but they fucking fully ignore me. It is irritating. No means no, it's like food rape.

[myreality]

Sorry to say, but it all comes down on you. They can't force feed you. Or else you will never reach your goals.

Can just take there food and put in the fridge and forget about it. Throw it away with them in front of you. Scream loudly. Or write them a note to "FUCK OFF".

Edit: Would be funny if you got a whistle and started blowing it frantically for every time someone offered you food.

[Aksannyi]

Rape whistle, lmao!

They are learning. It is just frustrating to keep having to say no. I wish that when I said, "I don't want any, don't even ask," they would just leave it there. If they just order pizza and leave it sitting I can ignore it, it's when they offer to buy me something directly for me and I say no and they still buy me something that I have trouble, it seems rude to turn it down. It must be my upbringing. But we are all getting better at it. Me and them.

[myreality]

Thats cool, but your enabling them every time you accept something after they buy it. Just sayin.

Eat foods with higher protein, protein is what makes you feel full and tells your body to stop eating (mostly). Get that crock pot out and start making some chicken, stews, brown rice, etc....

Can also train the metabolism to become faster, by eating similar caloric foods (small portions) 5-6 times a day but that takes a lot of time to prepare and plan so its hard to do in the long run. Protein shakes are considered meal re-placer and can help with cravings inbetween meals.

Welp time for me to go to the gym.



For everyone else, what music are you listening to while working out? I need new tunes, i will post what i listen to when i get back from the gym.

[Aksannyi]

I listen to showtunes, it sounds silly but they really get me going.

[Aksannyi]

Okay, I wasn't feeling it but I made a promise that I was going to do this for myself and even when I'm not up for it (unless hurt or ill) I need to take my ass out and be active or I will lose the progress I've made, so I did it.

Spoiler: show

Since I went out at 7AM and it hasn't yet gotten hotasfuck out, I decided to hit the nearby trail and run outside for a change, since I really need to stop relying on the treadmill so much. The trail is a half a mile, and about 1/3 of a mile from my apartment, so I did the walk warm-up thing where I use the walk there as my warm up.

This is the point where I should note that around 6AM I moved the coffee table out of my living room, put on my jazz shoes, and started freedancing about my apartment, which actually tired me out very quickly but holy shit, I miss just dancing like that, so, so much. And while that was a hell of a workout, that wasn't the workout I promised myself so the shoes went on and out the door I went. I also got some inspiration to choreograph something but there is little point since I don't perform anymore and I don't even live up near my old studio where I could guest choreograph. Meh, tangent. I am good at those.

Got to the trail and I picked up running at my usual start point (there's this signpost with some doggy poo bags), it's 0711 hours and I wasn't feeling amazing but I am usually not when I start and I have to just push through it because after a bit it just starts to feel better. So I get a little further than my usual stopping point and I figure, fuck it, let's do this, one full lap. So I do, I use the music to distract myself (and this yappy fat beagle/minpin mix growling at me and acting like he wants to fight about it), and before I know it I'm halfway there and I'm feeling ... okay ... but I've come far enough that I know I can make it, so I keep going. Feeling it big time when I'm about 7/8s of the way through the trail and I tell myself to just push, I can make it. And I do.

Pull my phone out of my bra because I still have no solution and I see that it's 0718. Half a mile in 7 minutes.

So I take my quick breather, about a minute and a half or so (my phone has a timer but fiddling with it and trying to run is no bueno, too broke for a stopwatch atm) pick up the run again, feel like death so I slow down again for about 30 seconds and then a great song comes on and I pick it up and tell myself I'm running the whole song so I do, and I'm almost done with my second lap at this point so I run it out. Start to head home again and give myself another 1 minute breather before I run the rest of the way back home.

Getting better at this. Longest run on the treadmill nonstop is 15 minutes, longest outside is 7, so clearly the treadmill has the advantage but that may have to do with the AC. Dunno.

I am going to play WoW for a bit to unwind, then shower, then sleep, and if I get back up before it's light out, I'm going to go to the pool today.

All I have to say is I am making progress and it seems so unquantifiable but I feel it. And the more I make progress the less it sucks and the less it sucks the more I go out and make progress. So I am not giving up. Thanks so much for this thread. It's helping me out a lot. Even if only one person reads and/or cares about my chubby-girl workouts, I feel better about myself now.

[Aksannyi]

Also, when I run my first nonstop mile in ten years, I am going to celebrate like no one's business. I don't care if it takes me 25 minutes, I am going to be thrilled.

[Cream Soda]

Keep up the great work. You can do it

As for me, I felt so guilty last night. Ate an entire container of jello. Even though it's mostly water and it was only 250 calories and I was under target calories. I pretty much inhaled it. (8 30 calorie servings or something, destroyed it all)

That is awesome Aksannyi, way to push yourself! Just stick to it and before you know it you will be running a 7 minute mile!

Also, when I run my first nonstop mile in ten years, I am going to celebrate like no one's business. I don't care if it takes me 25 minutes, I am going to be thrilled.

Running a mile straight after so long would definitely deserve a beer.

No pressure but i am sure we are all going to be waiting to hear the news when you do!

I'd tape it but

Your not the only one, i went drinking with some friends and nearly got a DUI, not to mention the bartender gave us free shots + samples of their moonshine. So all those empty calories and a day missed because of a horrible hangover the next day. As you can imagine i hit the gym again hard and added a few cardio routines now.

I missed out on the DUI because i stopped drinking roughly 2 hours before everyone else since i was driving and blew a 0.05 (0.08 is the limit)on the breathalyzer when i was pulled over for a traffic violation. All i can say is I love my liver because i can't imagine anyone else metabolizing that much alcohol that fast.

[myreality]

I'd tape it but

A picture would do just fine.

[Cream Soda]

by the way, jello is my new to go to snack.

Going to try the sugar free ones for even less calories. I just add drink flavoring (Mio or Koolaid 0 calorie liquid drink mix) to the water and holy shit the jello comes out amazing.
