I tried the best salmon recipe today and it was only 175 calories for one serving. I'll post at the end of the entry. Jef, my picky eater didn't like it, but I am proud that he at least tried it. My hardest part of the past few days is that I have been getting really hungry around 1 am. I feel like my stomach is burning. I did save enough calories today though so i could have a snack. But last night was horrible.
Another weird thing. I went for my first walk of my new style. I walked, I don't know, 2 miles to the grocery store and back. Its been two days and every muscle still hurts. I know my body just has to get used to me actually doing physical activities, but still.
I keep thinking about the future of me, and it's kinda scary. I am quite afraid that I am not going to stick with this. I really want to stick with this, but with most everything in my life, I don't want to quit this. I just want to be healthy. I want to wake up and not avoid a mirror. I wanna look at my self and love who I am. I want to be able to get out of bed and not have every joint and muscle hurt, I don't wanna feel like I am 22 going on 72 anymore. I will not have it!
I think my main problem with losing weight is going to be my stress factor. I am consistently stressed about something. Whether its a bill that has to be paid, a paper that is due, or worrying about my hours being cut at work (which leads me right back to how am I going to pay this bill). I think I want to try some kind of yoga or meditation every day, for at least 15 minutes or so, try to de-stress a little bit.
When I get out of work in a bit, I will post that recipe.

Hi, you're on my Lose It friends list and I saw the link to your blog on the forum. The sore muscles will go away. I started some more serious strengthy training earlier this month and my muscles were incredibly sore for a couple of days. I continued to exercise with the sore muscles which helped them feel better but honestly, I felt like I was going to die! One of the first exercises I started to do was yoga and I still do it. I do a combination of Hatha and Kundalini yoga, although contrary to popular belief, yoga is not so much for relaxation as it is for making your body a conduit for energy. The yoga will help you focus and feel energized. I absolutely love it. There are a lot of resources on YouTube for yoga. Try not to get discouraged. When I first started out in October, I couldn't even do one situp. It was sad. Now I'm developing muscle and I have crazy amounts of energy most days. Stick with in and you'll feel the same in a couple of months or so!
ReplyDeleteHey Chica! Regarding the sore muscles, the 2nd day is the worst. I call it the second day sore. It starts to hit the 1st day around 6pm for me, and then the second day, is brutal. But I LOVE the feeling. You'll get addicted to it too, because soon you'll start seeing muscles, and you'll realize that the soreness is a good feeling. That if you DON'T feel it after a workout, it means you didn't do a good job. Keep up the good work!
