When I realized how long it had been since I wrote here I almost blew it off and said, okay, I'm done. But I'm not done. I really want this to work. I've had setbacks but out of four days (Tue/Wed/Thu, Fri) I did actually do some kind of workout on three of the days.

And I worked out harder at karate again. Tomorrow is black belt class. Let's see if I actually work harder for that too. I really need to review all my forms!!

At least I'm getting to Monday's post on Monday. Didn't do shit today. Meant to. Put off yoga figured I'd work out at karate, forgot I had painting to do. Well, I was moving the whole time, painting. Must do better. Shit, I'm bad.

I did work harder at karate than I have in a long time. Still not hard enough. I have lost a lot of my stretch and need to do it every time, even on days I don't plan to dress out. I should keep sweats at the school for just those occasions. I did okay on yoga this morning though I skipped plank. I had an upset stomach and really couldn't take it. No school tomorrow so I know I'll have tomorrow off. I will do yoga and one other thing. Even if it's only 5 minutes of something. I need to add something to the yoga. But then it's karate tomorrow night, just not my dress out night. 

I almost gave up on this journal too, but I'm not. I'm NOT giving up. I'm going to win the fight back to good physical shape before the black belt seminar at the end of May. I really will. I really will.

Personal Log

I decided to not do my entries "per day" but just up to date when I do do them, like usually first thing in the morning (except Sat when I'm up and out of here). It just seemed silly to pretend it was a different time than I was actually writing. Well, not exactly, but that's what it felt like.

I seem to have a new burst of energy. Partly helped by at least sending SOME money off to the tax people with a letter of explanation. Hopefully it will be enough to keep them from locking our doors. Seems they're willing to spend a lot of money to get a little. Silliness but I guess it's how the government works. Though I suppose they would have charged us for padlocks etc. anyway.

But I did try to work harder at karate last night. I did weapons and warmed up with the class, and did a few forms. Should have done more but at least it's an improvement. 

And I did yoga BEFORE I sat down to the computer, which is always what I MEANT to do but never managed. Of course I did it on a Friday and can't repeat it tomorrow since I'm up and out. We'll see on Sunday. It's a non-shopping Sunday, so I'll try it again. We do self-defense Sunday afternoon too. Not as strenuous but still moving.

I still need to figure out of housework can be translated to workout time. I do do enough of it. LOL.

It's already Thursday and I'm just doing Tue/Wed. Didn't do shit yesterday. Did yoga on Tuesday. Going to karate after subbing today. I WILL work out with the class and teach some of it. I WILL DO MORE. This is me giving me shit for not taking care of myself. I must do that or I will stay eternally tired and go down that rotating drain. Don't work out, don't feel like working out which makes me not work out which makes me not feel like working out and so on and so on.

I wonder if I should include housework as a Physical activity. I meant to at least warm up with the karate class last night but got involved in dehydrating Christmas and didn't end up doing it. However, the work made me sweat so I think it should count as a workout. It's not constant but there was a lot of it!

I do seem to be slacking here though. I basically did no real work out for either of those days. I avoid writing when I don't work out. I really should come out here and write. Last time I did it got me to work out.

Went back to work at ITT after two weeks off. It was hard. I'll use that for an excuse. I did walk a lot, teach, etc., and I did get at least one yog in. I could still do yoga tonight but it ain't gonna happen. First day since I started this that I haven't done ANYTHING.

Well, I'm glad I did yoga knowing I'd be going to the karate school. I ended up meeting with JoEllen for much longer than anticipated and didn't get to any workout. And I almost went back and changed "get to" to "have to do" but first I shouldn't edit what I say when I'm doing stream of though, even in a health journal. If I wrote "get to" then I must be getting more used to doing the work out and missin it when I don't have. It's now Friday morning. So why am I sitting on the couch writing instead of down there doing yoga.

I almost put "teaching" under Physical Activity but I know that's not what it means. However I did spent Tue and Wed on my feet teaching. After the first day I was falling down tired. After the 2nd I didn't feel so bad. I was getting used to it. Maybe I wouldn't mind doing it again. The teacher is back today though. No one expected him to be but I guess it's okay. I was kinda liking the idea of teaching Geometry for a couple weeks. 

But I didn't manage to do yoga last night. Karl sat on the couch and watched tv with me off and on and that's more of an activity than he's done with me in a while so I let it go. Sometimes there ARE other priorities and getting Karl to spend time with me is one of those that even outweighs working out.

Except for knowing that I would post here I likely wouldn't have done yoga yesterday. I subbed and TAUGHT for the first time in a long time. I went home exhausted, soaked in the tub, had dinner and still hadn't done anything. Then I heard Karl telling Will that I had the tv after dinner till bedtime so I figured that I may as well do the evening yoga since I was still hurting so bad. It helped sooo much, I really don't understand why I procrastinate it. Once I get that beat, and I'm doing yoga daily without procrastination it'll be time to add that 8 minute Billy Blanks video. Or who knows maybe tonight. Yeah, sure.

I pushed myself all day and didn't get anywhere. I kept waiting for that burst of energy  I sometimes get but it never happened. I made myself do yoga, but had to go to the bathoom about halfway through and never went back to finish, using karate as the excuse. But Monday is the day I don't dress out. I did anyway, and did SOME work but not enough. I did weapons, the warm up and a few forms. Better than nothing but as I said I never got there.

Okay day. Did the yoga because of the last post which I did for yesterday but late. If I'm going to do this, I have to do this. The only other workout I want to add now is the 8 min Billy Blanks, which is more like 15 min including warm up, cool down, etc, but still only 15 min. 

Starting tomorrow though I'm back on school schedule. I really want to quit subbing. I'm going to try to schedule each day I don't sub, and Wed which is my regular day off.

I used karate class as an excuse to not do yoga. Why do I put it off? A half hour isn't that much time to pay for how good it makes me feel. And all that was yesterday. I didn't manage to update this blog yesterday but I sure managed to play FB games. I MUST cut down on those. I do enjoy them. I'm not going to quit altogether, but it's cutting into my "good for me time" and I'm still sitting here procrastinating today's yoga.

I haven't started thinking about food or weight yet. I ate birthday cake yesterday and will today. I will also eat fruit. I bought a honeydew and a grapefruit. I have to get better about the things I eat for breakfast. So I guess I have started thinking about food and doing a little bit, adding good things. Now I have to get rid of the bad things. In the meantime, it's time for some birthday cake. and then yoga.

Friday after New Years. Too much to do.

I didn't do all I had planned today but then I had to go to Walmart to get a new screw for my glasses. Of course once out I went after Christmas shopping. And tonight we go out to dinner for Ian's birthday. I DO want to start doing the 8 minute Billy Blanks work out every day until I can do more. At least I got here and filled this out today.

Awesome that this is all set up for this. Disappointing that I didn't remember doing it. I do remember starting the journal though and I'm going to leave what's there there. And start anew for 2015

Almost just blew it all off until I saw the journal which I pulled out while cleaning yesterday. I did yoga yesterday, and after all, every other day should do fine. However, it's Jan 1, and time to stop making excuses. I need to do something EVERY day. I need to do MORE every day.

Not to mention I ate WAY too much over the holidays and refuse to weigh myself for a month for fear of being too depressed. And it'll be a motivation to lose as much as possible this month. I know, I know, it's healthy not weight that matters, but I've gone beyond a healthy weight with all the holiday depression eating.

So, I comprised with myself for today and it turned out funny. I did a 20 minute power yoga instead of the 34 minute stretch, figuring at least I'd spend 14 minutes less. Well, it was a more intense workout than I remembered. But I do need to do it again and it would make sense to do it every other day. 

Now I'm going to go read what I wrote four years ago when I tried this last.
