I have been absent from the gym for a long time! I had
been going to the gym regularly before that. I was going at least three
days a week for cardio and usually five days a week for strength
training which I now know is the opposite of what I should have been
doing. Haha. Honestly, my thoughts were like this… When I was binge
eating all the time, why should I bother going to the gym when I worked
my butt off, but then ate like crap… My weight always stayed the same or
crept higher.
Now that I've got my eating under control, I
need to start going back to the gym. Luckily, I never canceled my Curves
membership. It's on hold until the end of the year, and honestly, when
that time comes, I'll be able to afford it again so I think I'll just
keep it. I do enjoy Curves a lot and when I get into the habit of going,
it works wonders for me… I still have my YMCA membership. Considering I
qualify for financial aid, I don't pay very much for that membership. I
probably should have seen if there was a way to put that membership on
hold while I figured out my binge eating, but I didn't… oh well.
I'm planning on going back to the gym tonight.
I'm really weird and don't want to go back when I can't go for a solid
week in a row… I'm breaking my rule and going back this weekend when I
for sure won't be able to go on Thursday. I'm just hoping that maybe I
can do a workout video or something before going to Matt's parents' for
lunch on Thanksgiving. I even canceled seeing Breaking Dawn Part 2
tonight with my bestie so I can go to the gym… I'm crazy, but I'll make
it. LOL
I'm home for lunch right now. When my boyfriend
gets up, I'm going to go pack my gym bag so I have it with me. If I have
to go home to get it, I won't make it to the gym. It's how I am. LOL I
need some capris or pants, a comfy tee, a workout bra, some socks, and
my heart rate monitor. Considering it's been so long since I've been to
the gym, I think I'm going to just do a recumbent bike for half an hour
or so… Once I get the hang of going to the gym again, I'll up my
workouts, but something fairly easy and pain free would be good to start
with.
I just fried up some sausage for my dinner
tonight. I'm making a not-so-calorie-friendly dish. It's something I've
made up myself. You basically make a lasagna out of beef and cheese
ravioli. You layer half in the bottom of a 13x9 baking sheet, and then
you take a container of ricotta with some parmesan and mozzarella in it…
spread that out over the ravioli, add some more ravioli, top with sauce
and mozzarella and bake until cooked through. Yum! We're having it with
some broccoli and cauliflower and garlic bread. It's a BIG dinner which
is part of the reason I wanted to go to the gym tonight… so I'm not
over on my calories. LOL
Okay, I need to get busy getting my crap together. I'll write soon! Adieu!
