Pretty tired today. Happy to report that I tried biking again (which didn't go so well, but hey that's ok!) and the stair machine in the gym this morning. I really like the stair machine. I might erg tomorrow. My new goal moving forward is to rotate through all of the cardio machines each week. I was pretty tired for part of the afternoon :/ I blame my fatigue and not my workout (unlike yesterday), but I was able to pick myself and accomplish all of the goals I had for today. Pretty tired now, but I need to make myself stay up for a little while longer and work on some things.

The Whole Fam.....
I have successfully convicted my whole family to come to the gym this morning. AWWWW YEAAHHHHHH :)

Tried a new machine at the gym today. It's the new elliptical (could be wrong) with three stride lengths and its kind of cumbersome to use, but I got the hang of it closer towards the end of my workout. Even though I don't particularly like it as much as my normal machine, I think I'm going to start using it more so my body doesn't get fixed on expecting one type of work out. I got pretty tired today at work, but it could have been that was accidentally woken up around 3 am and using the new machine. On top of that I really couldn't move around as much since I had mostly desk work to do. Tomorrow should be better!

No gym today :( Things just got too chaotic so I'm going to make today my off day for the week. I took the advice of a fellow counter and only ate half of the pancakes I ordered at breakfast. I haven't had something that dense to eat in a really long time! Even though I only ate half, feeling that full afterwards was not a great feeling! Plus, it threw a wrench in my eating plans for the rest of the day. While I've wanted them for a while, I don't think I'll order them for another while again!.Just got home so it's way to late to do a full dinner. I'm really proud of myself for only eating half of my order today. Then, I gave my leftovers away! Even though that seems a little silly, doing that was really hard for me since since I usually just come home and stuff myself with whatever I bought home. Changes like this help me show myself that I'm serious about changing my lifestyle!

The gym was amazing today! Such a great workout. I was surprised at how I pushed myself so hard considering I haven't even been going for a full week yet, but I'm hoping to work up to always going that hard every time I go over the next 1-2 weeks. Discovered some amazing soup for dinner. Pretty proud of myself for trying to try new things! I also picked up a larger variety of veggies from the store! Going to make some tasty meals this upcoming week!

Pretty good day. Definitely ate enough. Need to cut down on my treats though. I was pretty hungry by lunch and my sister called me up wanting Chinese food so I went along with it because I was tired and irritable Food that I know that isn't necessarily the healthiest for me is becoming less and less appetizing If I'm going to work out, then there's no point in counteracting all that work for some food I don't really need. My fatigue was pretty bad today :/ Didn't really get anything done today, but it's good to relax every now and then. Health always comes first! In other news, the gym was amazing today! I really like my hour-long routine so I'm looking forward to tomorrow even though the gym opens later. Pretty proud for increasing my potassium intake today too!

Too many treats! Felt like I over did it a little bit. I haven't had this much food in a little while, but I really enjoy my frappucino and burrito. I haven't had those two things in years. Gym tomorrow morning, but not at 5 am. I don't even think the gym is open that early on Fridays......Skyping friends then going to sleep. Might try a little yoga tomorrow!

I'm starting to realize that exercising may be curbing my appetite so I need to plan accordingly/ get creative with my menu items.I was finally pretty hungry by lunch time today, but when I came home, I wasn't really feeling dinner. I faintly remember these types of patterns when I used to work out each day in the past. Wasn't really feeling work today. I pushed thru, but I could have walked around the office more if I had just really tried. I think I just need a break today. On days where I've been feeling good, I just push thru, but now that I have days where I feel good and I've been working out, the motive to walk around the office to the extent that I used to is decreasing! I don't wanna over kill all these new changes I've made. I really want my new habits to last. I've also made a contentious effort to focus less and less on the number of calories I burn each day and more and more on making sure I get tot the gym at least once I day. I view walking around the office as secondary exercising because before it used to be my only real way to moving my body around the day. I like the new system better. It gives me an opportunity to at least try and focus on getting my work done. If anyone has any advice or creative suggestions about today's ramblings, I'm all ears!

So bummed about how my morning and evening played out. Alarm didn't go off and errands after work led to no gym today. I also have to try harder to stay motivated at work. No excuses. Getting ready to go to bed as soon as I finish this report (and set my alarm correctly haha) so I can get up tomorrow. On the bright side my Dad might go with me. I like my me time in the morning, but I've realized that I can help my family make better choices by encouraging and including them. My dad will typically do stuff with me if I ask, but he's not really into changing his diet. My mom pretty much copies what ever I do to a certain extent, but I've got to keep pushing her to commit. I've already asked my sister if she wanted help making changes in her diet and I always invite her to the gym. I know I can't change them, but I can always try to help them without beating them over the head with advice. In other news, I ended up splitting my lunch in half today. My appetite just ain't what it used to be...Can't wait to the gym tomorrow morning. I know habits take a while to form and it's ok to stumble along the way, but I can't wait to wake up one morning and realize that I really did turn things around and I'm sticking with it!

Discipline
Not being disciplined enough today and yesterday is was what not finishing an assignment that could have easily been missing my workout this morning, not getting any of the time-sensitive work I needed to get done last night, not prepare my lunch early and being late to work led to.
Even though discipline is hard, it's necessary.
Phone Fail
I didn't hear any of my alarms go off :/ I guess I'm going to have to go to the gym tonight!
