Weighed myself this morning and I’ve lost another 2lbs… Only 6lbs more to go! I can do this!
after a month’s break, i’m back in the gym (and on tumblr). so far i’ve been working out and lifting for nearly two hours everyday for the last 10 days and i’ve gained 9lbs… nine freaking pounds. it’s so frustrating. people keep telling me it’s just muscle but when i look in the mirror, i can see that i’m getting bigger. i haven’t changed my diet so i don’t know what’s happening. also, when did i start obsessing over my body and weight? suddenly my happiness depends on a scale figure. i feel disgusting and gross. i want to cry.
Treadmill: 15mins/155cal
Stride Machine: 10mins/105cal
NTC (Core Crunch): 10mins/100cal
Total: 35mins/360cal
+ 60 squats with 10kg weights
Note: Had a terrible night last night. I was totally bloated, my back and ribs were aching and I couldn’t sleep for hours. I even tried to lie on my yantra mat for awhile but it didn’t work… then I felt the same all day. Even worse. The only thing I’ve changed with my diet is… spirulina powder. After taking 1 tsp in my smoothie for two days I stopped due to dizzy spells and nausea and it’s been two days since then but it must still be in my system… and my system is not happy. I’ve never felt so bloated and horrible. I’m never going near the stuff again.
Also, regarding the pains in my back… I need to start stretching for maybe an hour everyday and start doing yoga poses. I might skip the gym for the next 3 days - go on light walks instead and work on stretching.
