As you know I stopped weighing myself, so this update won’t be about getting to a certain weight, or meeting some microgoal. Instead, here’s what exercise I’ve done this week:
Sunday: Nothing at all. I planned to have a quiet day, but I did intend to do some Yoga in the morning. As it turned out, I was feeling tired and sick all day, so I left it.
Monday: 16 Minutes of Wii Fit Yoga; 12 Minutes of Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout. This week I started back on the 100 Pushup program, but I’ve also started the 200 Squat Program too. On Monday I did Pushups Week 1 Day 1, and Squats Week 1 Day 1. My legs are possibly the least fit part of my whole body, so the squats were hard to do, but I completed them, so I’m quite proud of myself.
Tuesday: 25 Minutes of Wii Fit (including Yoga and Jogging Plus). Tuesday I started the 200 Sit-ups Program, and completed Week 1 Day 1.
Wednesday: I intended to get in some Wii Fit Yoga and Step Aerobics in the morning, but due to Dad waking me up in the middle of the night, I didn’t get much sleep and woke up really tired, so I skipped them. I still did my Pushups Week 1 Day 2, and Squats Week 1 Day 2.
Thursday: Starting around Thursday I got incredibly stressed out, and still am. Basically Dad interrupts me in whatever I do (which is a long story). Again, I intended to do Wii Fit Yoga, and Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout, but left it. I did, however, do my Sit-ups Week 1 Day 2.
Friday: Still stressed. Intended to do Wii Fit Yoga, and Jump Rope, but didn’t. I did my Squats Week 1 Day 3, but I didn’t do my pushups.
Saturday: That’s today. So far the only thing I’ve got done is the Pushups Week 1 Day 3 that I was supposed to do yesterday. I will do Sit-ups Week 1 Day 3, then hopefully get some cardio in later tonight. I prefer to do these in the morning before breakfast, but I’ve been so stressed I’ve kinda lost my way a bit.
I feel just about the same as I did last week, which is not bad. I’ve been able to fit into some shorts that haven’t fit me in a long time, and I do feel fitter in general. Not weighing myself has been harder than I thought. I like to end the week knowing that I’ve improved, or not gained any weight. I suppose I just have to be glad and thankful that I did some exercise at all. I’ve exercised every day this year since New Years and I’ve never done that much exercise, ever.
What I really need is a way to deal with my stress. Today, literally, I was so angry and stressed that I bashed my head against the wall. It’s a bad habit that I’m trying to quit. I know part of the reason I’ve been so unfit and flabby is my stress, but it’s so hard to get rid of it. When I’m stressed, I think ‘Stuff everything, I’m not exercising at all today!’. Then usually I get over it, and do a little bit of exercise, but not enough really.
Is it even possible to get rid of stress entirely? Or is the solution to deal with the stress I get in a non-head-bashy way?
