Today’s Workout: Time to go shopping?

It’d been awhile since I did the different missions in the app and this one is interesting so far. Wouldn’t recommend it to people who don’t like spiders to the point where just hearing about them will bother you but the story of investigating why their god has forsaken this small village is cool.

There’s no pictures of food today but a moment of silence for my favorite workout pants. Apparently, my thighs are too powerful and have destroyed the seams. I dunno if I should bother to get new ones or just use the once I’ve got even though they don’t fit as well as these did. I probably won’t. I’m trying to hold on to as much money as I can because October is always an expensive month for me; with Samhain and NYCC, and other various Fall things. And of course funding my kid’s Call of Duty addiction.

Today’s Workout: Weekend Run

Since I don’t usually get the chance to sleep in on weekends, I got up for a run after I got my laundry started. It’s convenient to run on laundry day since I just toss the sweaty clothes right in the hamper to be cleaned that day. 

What is not fun is going up and down the stairs with laundry for the rest of the day after being sore from a run. But boy, do I get a ton of steps in! FYI, I am using C25k again. It helps with keeping time and I’m able to push myself on the intervals. Since my shoulder is still sore, I’m not doing any kettlebell for a bit. I’m applying plenty of pain cream, taking mild painkillers, and resting it as much as I can do I can get back to it.

There’s no pictures of food because I didn’t cook today. I was tired by the end of the day so, I’ll save that for tomorrow.

Today’s Workout: Challenge Day 17

Thanks to the fact I’d made a big dinner last night, I had zero prep time for dinner after coming home and getting right on the treadmill. I’m not entirely happy about the low heart points (or whatever) from the stationary bike earlier in the day but I sure felt it all in my thighs and glutes.

As for the Google Fit issue, the steps still randomly change during the day then if I check in the evening before I go to bed, they all magically show up again. Since I have apps on my phone where I earn points for rewards with my step count, it’s frustrating to miss out on those rewards. I just have to make sure at the end of the night to check them and make sure everything it synched properly. Not the point of a fitness or weight loss journey but, those gift cards that I earn are important in making ends meet.

Either way, two workouts in a day is a lot and I absolutely feel it. I’m pretty sure doing this every day isn’t sustainable. And as for food, I have been loading up on veggies to keep myself full. Again, I am still not eating much more than while on Saxenda and that’s fine. I don’t feel overly hungry but I also don’t miss having to RUN for the bathroom or burp all the time. It’s nice to feel normal-ish again.
