Fitness Check In

Day 12
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Rest day. Did some stretches to decompress.

Day 13
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Moving day. Took a day off work to go back to college town to clean up my apartment rental and terminate the lease. Took multiple trips up and down the stairs while clearing the unit to avoid running into other people in the elevators.
 
I want to start eating a bit healthier and just maybe start working out... I eat junk food 24/7 and sit all day because of my high metabolism. Somehow don't gain weight.. but it's still a good thing to do.

Day #0:
Workout summary:

Starting tomorrow, I want to at least eat one healthy meal a day, and just maybe some running on Wii Fit+. I'm taking myself really slow with this. Don't want to push myself too far.
Short - Term Goal: Eat one healthy meal/snack a day for a week.
Long - Term Goal: Get faster at running, or get much stronger since i'm very weak.
 
Day #1 (Checking in here that is)
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Chloe Ting’s 2020 summer shred day 6. Ab focus day.
Short Term Goal: Eat less junk food/sweets and stick to a stricter intermittent fasting schedule. Be a more fitter, leaner stronger version of my self. 💪
Long Term Goal: Lose around 10-15 pounds, preferably before the beginning of October.

This thread is a great idea, and I might start checking in here just to make sure I stay on track with my eating and fitness goals.

I already competed Chloe Ting’s 28 day summer shred challenge once, and decided to try her 2019 one. But that one was a lot more difficult than the 2020 one to me, and didn’t enjoy doing it as much. After about a week and a half of skipping work outs, I decided to go back and redo the 2020 shred instead.

Felt pretty weak today, but powered through doing mostly low impact. Proud of myself for finishing it and for not eating a dessert this afternoon. :)
 
Day 14
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
core day. Did Pilates roll-ups, candlestick dippers, wiggles, eagle crunches, and 90-second planks.

I think I'm slowly repairing my relationship with food. I used to restrict myself to eating healthy foods only because I was scared of gaining weight. Right now with the pandemic, it helps a lot to experience a moment of joy with a small treat (mochi ice cream and vanilla ice cream coated with chocolate+almonds) two to three times per week.
 
Day #14
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Rest day. My core and chest area is actually sore from what I considered to be a light workout. Just means that it's weak. I did do some corrective movements for my posture.
 
Day #2
Workout/Rest Day Summary
: Chloe Ting’s 2020 summer shred day 7. Arm focus day.

Tried to workout early in the morning before food, but was waaaaay too weak and had to eat first. Ended up breaking my fast sooner than I wanted to, but still stayed within a four hour eating window and didn’t eat any sweets again.
 
Day #15
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Started out with core and ab focus exercises. Lunges and some upper body exercises. My focus for the next week or so is to focus on better form than the weight I'm lifting. Good form makes a lot of my exercises both easier and harder. I recommend recording yourself if you don't have someone to correct you as you are performing the exercises to get the most of out it.

Please be careful when working out if it's been a while since you last ate. I had a workout session and I didn't eat enough during the day and barely had a small handful of blueberries a very hours before my workout and I passed out from low blood sugar and I am not diabetic. Luckily I told my trainer that I felt dizzy and he caught me before I hit my head on any of the machines or floor. It's an awful experience and it would have been a lot worse if I was at home with no one within arms reach to catch me.

Day 3
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Cashing in a rest day that I skipped a couple of days ago. Stuck to my fasting window, but ate an ice cream sandwich. Rode for 40 minutes on a stationary bike to burn it off, so I’m not going to best myself up about eating it.

I actually played animal crossing while I was riding, something I used to do all the time and need to do more. It’s amazing how many calories you can burn when your mind is occupied by something fun!

Sorry that happened to you. Sounds scary! I’ll be more careful from here on out, since I’ve discovered these last few days that I really need to have food before a workout.
 
Day #16
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Actually at about 9k steps on my fitbit which was my avg number of steps before the pandemic. Did a 2 mile walk for a Target run. Not really a workout but more active that most days.
 
Day #17
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
Rest day. I did end up eating better last week. This week is to continue eating better and be more consistent at sleeping and waking at the same time every day.
 
Day 17
Workout/Rest Day Summary:
mostly a rest day. Did some housework, so I got some steps in. My goal for this week is to work on my mental state to stabilize my mood, including going to bed and waking up at the same times every day.
