girlygirlatheart's Journal, 25 April 2008

Yet another day where i need to decide what I am going to do with myself. Its a rest day, and sometimes on rest days, I find myself eager to exercise.
Maybe some light walking?
I dont know... I was told that when you exercise everyday and dont give your body ample rest time, you will actually screw yourself over by overworking your body.
I have decided I am not going to weigh myself until its been one week since my last weigh in.
Before, I was weighing myself almost everyday. And i would be discouraged that I wasnt seeing the number go down, even by a couple ounces. I think that bugged me so much that it actually prevented me from losing anything.
I'm trying to convince my mom to go to Weight Watchers again.
I've already been eating healthy and losing weight for a long time, but I would like the rest of my family to get started too.
I know I feel so much better living this lifestyle, compared to before when I was younger and didnt know any better. If i did, i would have saved myself a whole lot of grief.

anyways, whats also really annoying is that I want to go running, but my work out pants are HUGE on me. I roll them up to a ridiculous length and I still have to hold them up. They're like a 3X. its time for some new ones, but I really dont want to spend the money.
I need some of those ones with draw strings so i can keep making them tighter and not have to buy new ones in a couple months.
Add the fact that my over-pretective mother wont let me go outside after dark, and well, i'm pretty much shot down on that. :[

with all the work i am doing, i'm really excited to see if i have lost a significant amount of weight by the end of the 7 days.
wish me luck :]]]

just a tip...there came a point where I was obsessed with exercising. For 3 months, I didn't train for less than 4-5 days a week. I finally got sick last week and had all the symptoms of overtraining so I decided to rest this whole WEEK. Trust me, I was nervous but I lost 5 pounds this week. And now I feel much better so I'm more motivated.

I found that I could not buy myself new clothes and had to keep recycling the old ones. I had to change that so I went to the Goodwill and for a couple of dollars baought a few new pairs of pants and tops that for 8.00 I had spent on the whole bunch even if I only wore them all only once it was still worth what I paid. i then send the larger ones to the mission for others. I had a hard time keeping on the old clothes as even though they are huge and baggy I still looked and felt HUGE in them. The image in my head was still me at 225 not 188. So even if you do not get soemthing new everytime - everyone once in a while maybe 10 pounds or something get a smaller soze - it does help with the mind and image factor and I know it helps me see and feel my results.
