Update and Update and what now?
Oh no. I gained 5 lbs. No really. I weigh 5 lbs more in the morning. It's been...almost two weeks since I finished the 26 days and I'm surprised it took me this long... kinda weird though... I thought I gained it sooner than now. Maybe I need a good cleaning? Ha! You know, I probably have like 10 lbs of feces just sitting there in my guts and umm... that's gross. Hm. i don't think I'll ever really get myself to go get one of those colonics. Yeah. Well, maybe. I'm really a 'in the mood' type of person, so who knows.
Anyways, my current eating is just to eat my really boring (but I still like them, however I know that it's not going to last much longer before I move onto a new food) peanut butter & banana sandwiches (whole wheat bread.) That's practically all I eat during the day (granted, I eat like 5-6 of them, but even still that's only roughly 350 calories, and all of them are 'good' calories, with the complex carbs in the bread and fruit, and then peanut butter the magical food. (I am amazed at how much peanut butter I ate (I think I went through 4 large jars during that 26 days) and still lost weight.
Oh. But something I started doing last week was daily yoga. Like a whole yoga class practically, and it's a good one too. I go to YogaToday.com and download/stream their daily yoga class. It's pretty cool. I don't go to actual classes because I can't pay $10-$15 per class, but this is like a whole class with the instructor talking the whole time and guiding you. I really like it. It really helps me with my breathing, especially since I'm generally a really shallow breather (happens when I sit at a desk all day) and so this gets me breathing down to my stomach.
Plus I also neglected doing any real stretching last month, so I'm trying to cath up a little and get back to level. I used to do my own 20 minute yoga routine that did a pretty good job of physically keeping my limber/stretched, but I never focused on 'the breath' like you're supposed to when doing yoga. Yesterday we did some good rapid fire breathing and opened up our 6th chakra and umm... yeah, I liked it. (whether or not you or I believe in the chakras...)
Keep going folks! I haven't decided what my next weightloss/exercise program will be but it won't be a gym. I figure at $30 per month x 12 = $360 ? Is that right? Plus the time commitment to going there and everything else? It's just not... I'm not really in the mood this year. I've been a gym member for probably the last 4 years. I didn't ever really do anything that made progress until my 26 day project. I was too casual about going to the gym and it didn't make an impact.
I'm going to figure out some sort of home workout program. At least now that I'm Georgia, I can run outside. I mean, I could run outside in Arizona except it's really too hot 80% of the year, and then at the time, I lived in a bad part of town (cheap rent!) and I wouldn't go running out there. So I can still run, and my neighborhood is really a good place to run, and I even see other people running. (You never really see that at all in Phoenix.) I live down the street from St. Agnes College for women and Downtown Decatur. It's... a generally good area that I'm in with some poor streets, but still.
Anyways... let's go.
