okay. i dont know WHAT the hell happened, but i didnt work out for 4 days and i ate the most horrible crap on earth.

then today im back on track. and i feel so disgusted with myself. but it's ok I'M BACK HELLO. so i ran like 5 miles in the morning. and 30 more mins of high intensity cardio in the evening.

i can't wait for my 10k.

but im addicted to this lindt dark chocolate mousse bar..it's freaking amazing..but 3 squares have 21 grams of fat and 11 grams of sugar and freaking 240 calories. 21 grams of fat. what a joke. thats like the fat req for a whole day.

I hate step. I hate step. I hate step! I almost fell and broke my ankle again. WTF? WTH?

I don't think I'm ever going back to that class.

No, but I used to use the bi-lateral thigh trainer, until my dad thought it was in the "give away" pile and donated it

. Whatever Alhumdulillah! I'm sure its helping someone slim down.

But it's probably better for you than milk chocolate still.

I lost 10 pounds. Whoo-hoo.

How? From working so hard?

(That's what a couple of people who've commented on it have said, 'You've lost weight. Oh, it's probably because you've been working so hard.'

...)

But then yesterday, all this Easter candy talk made me want to go get a chocolate egg. So I went to the convenience store on my way home from school, but... no Easter eggs to be found.

So then I got a Bounty bar but I got the dark chocolate one 'cause of all this talk about dark chocolate. It was good.

Ok. Last night, I went to the gym reluctantly. I was really tired and after the gym, I had a terrible headache. Anyway, I did about 30 minutes on the elliptical, did a 10 minute "cool down" on the treadmill, circuited through different weight machines, and did another 15 minutes on the treadmill.

There aren't any classes at the gym today until much, much later. I don't think I'll attend that one, but I may just go and do my own thing again.

Not really an elliptical. Its like a stepper, but the pedals come down at an angle.

OMG MY 10K IS IN 8 DAYS

I joined a women's only gym today

And not some wussy curves either (apologies to any curves members on the thread). Nope, it's a real, true blue, hard core workout gym. Now I can run and lift weights without hijab, and finally take a dance class without having to worry about men staring through the window. Huzzah!

DramaRani · #**748** (**permalink**) 03-31-2008, 02:16 PM

I just got back from the gym. I worked out on the elliptical and cooled down on the treadmill. My friend wants me to meet up with her later in the evening for a yoga class.

ya Allah, some days! Yesterday, we got 8 inches of snow dumped on us. No snow in the forcast for today, so I decided to start going to the gym in the morning. Got up at 5 am, puttered around on the computer a bit to figure out the bus schedule near my new gym, and then went out to scrape the snow off the car. OMG, it's been so long since we've gotten that much snow, I forgot how long it would take to unbury my car. 30 minutes later, I'm soaking wet, but at least I can see out the windows. Off I go to the gym, a little late, but oh well, I can shorten my work out. But first, gotta stop for gas. Dang it, the gas cap is frozen shut! So I turn around, drive home, get dressed and skip the gym. tomorrow inshaAllah

I'm soooooooooo frustrated

I think I'll write down scraping off my car on my fitness log for today though
