8/16

I'm ready for whatever today throws at me!! I officially ordered my ISSA training materials last night so I should start as a trainer-in-training next month!! Gonna study all weekend (and hopefully get some sun?). But I'm heading to the gym this morning and then into work (I'll post the meeting outcome ASAP). Here's to the pursuit of HAPPINESS!

8:00
100 - Greek yogurt
150 - 1/2c oats

Bike to gym (2.2)
Gym: 10 min bike warmup, good mornings & deep ballet squats 115lbs 3x12, donkey kick machine 60lbs 3x15, butt buster machine 100lbs 2x15, body weight kicks (full&short range) and posterior leg raises.
Bike from gym to work.(2.8)
Bike home (5 miles) [bike totals probably 300-400 calories-- mapmyrun says over 600 but that's ridiculous haha]

Got let go... I knew it was coming. I couldn't get people to book events and generate revenue. I can't say I didn't try my hardest... but it wasn't enough. I failed.
Back when this blog was 100dayshapeup I stopped and back slid when I lost a job...I was a mess for a long time, but that won't happen again. I'm focused and I know what I want... I know how an employer should treat their employees and I know what I deserve. Period.
On to the next challenge!!
I filed for unemployment, but will be studying my ass off until my test at DBG so that I can get started AND have my first cert both around the same time!

WOW! I'm hungry. I need to eat... and I need to work out more today... I'll go for a run, but I need FOOD! lol
3:15
150 - 1/2c brown rice
180 - 2 turkey dogs
20 - lettuce & hot sauce
100 - apple

2.8 mile run [with some walking] on Nike+ (354 cal)...plus an extra 2 mile walk after this just to try and clear my head and get a little sun.
6:00
100 - apple
360 - POPchips ...whoa

8:00
50 - 1/2 bag slaw
160 - 1/2 avocado
200 - chicken tenderloins
50 - salsa verde & grape tomatoes
.1620.

I'm having a rough time...just feeling like a huge failure. I really hope my new focus and passion works...this needs to finally be what I'm good at and can stick with!

Swimming - [400-500 cal...no idea]
Workout totals today probably negative 1200-1500 but no idea. I really want to get a fitbit so I can keep track of heart rate and calories burned accurately throughout my days including workouts.

300 - another serving of my dinner w/o avocado
200 - dove dark chocolate
100 - greet yogurt bite

.2200.

  2. Get a Garmin with heart rate belt. Tracks calories burnt fairly accurately (but u need to use it with heart rate meter)

    1. I already have a Nike GPS watch which works with a Polar chest strap. The reason I want a fitbit (or the like) is to avoid the chest strap as it tracks 24/7 (even sleep patterns). But since I'm currently unemployed, I won't be buying anything :)
