After a long day of work and then shopping, I said to myself: "Self...GO to the gym!". Even though it had gotten really late and I was starving, I still went to the gym. I was determined to exercise! "And Let me tell you, I had a great workout! You should have seen how fast I was going on the elliptical. If that machine wasn't bolted to the ground I would have surely beaten the woman next to me in my imaginary race. I scorched an amazing 3500 calories in just one hour. I was so amped, that after my cardio warm-up I benched 100lbs...on each side. I must be the strongest woman at the gym!"
That is what I would have said... If my shoes were in my gym bag. Unfortunately I didn't pack them. Even more unfortunate is that I had fully changed into my workout clothes before I realized it. Oh well, life goes on. I'll just have to make up for it tomorrow.
Today I decided that each Monday I will create a set of goals to aim for during the week to keep me motivated.
This week my goals are:
1. Eat a home cooked dinner 4 to 5 times
2. Exercise 5 to 6 times this week.
3. Lose 2lbs this week
4. Eat between 1200 - 1400 calories a day.
To achieve these goals I plan on packing my gym bag the night before and double checking that I have everything I need, no more forgetting to pack my tennis shoes because I'm running late for work in the morning.
To maintain my calorie goal, I have already planned what I will have for lunch, dinner and snacks for the whole week.
Daily Journal:
I ate just under 1400 calories.
