Todays weigh-in: 189.4 @ 7:32am
I've been trying to not forget to update this place. Mostly because I've been working so hard at the different research centers I'm interning at. And plus of the stresses of financing college. Apparently the State of California increased CSU tuition and basically, I fucking freaked out.
ANYWAY. I'll save the details for the "personal" blog.
Well, I really wanted to start on August 1st. But I'm still new to this whole dedication stuff, so I've been having a hard time. I decided to postpone my juice fasts because it's definitely difficult to do while working full-time. There were many times were I felt faint, so I quit Tuesday evening. (Yeah, yeah, Nick's right.)
However, I have been trying to eat sensible. Handful of food in the morning for breakfast (this past week, it has been fruit snacks and juice boxes...terrible w/sugar). But I quit those today. I have also been doing 15minutes of running/jogging in-place every night before bed
(OK OK--every other night). As well as circuit ab exercises for 30 minutes.
My trick is to not count the reps as it makes me dread it quicker, but to instead listen to music and switch up exercises at the end of each track. So I guess I'm doing each exercises for 3 to 5 minutes.
My ab exercises includes Nick's stomach vacuum and whatever else he wrote for me that I can't remember, lol. And a Youtube video I found before the diet. I love this guy and his exercises have me feeling the "burn" in my stomach within 15 reps:
It's really hard to stay motivated when you're doing this alone and everyone around you eats shit and is already at a healthy weight. I really wish I had someone who was physically here to do it with me to push... :(
Anyhow, I wondered about when is a good time to weigh-in
*sigh* Motivate me!The key point however when it comes to weighing yourself is that you do it at the same time everyday and ideally with the same set of circumstances before hand. This is why most people tend to weigh themeselves first thing in the morning because it’s normally the same time and same set of circumstances (i.e no food/fluid intake has occurred).
If you weigh yourself at any stage later in the day you are likely to get inconsistent readings due to different levels of food and fluids in your body and the amounf of energy you have burnt. However, you should chose a time to always weigh yourself. I always weigh in the morning after going to the bathroom.
During the night the body enters a fasting period where our kidneys filter waste and the digestive system works throughout. Because our bodies are in a state of rest, the heart doesn’t have to pump as fast or any extra and the kidneys can efficiently move unwanted water into the bladder. This means that in the morning we dont have extra water and bulked up blood in your system and it is also why in general most people feel the urge to go to the bathroom as soon as they wake. Hence this is also why weighing yourself in the morning may be the best time to do it.
