Tuesdays & Fridays: 8 weeks - Let's Go!

I just got back from my meeting and it went really well! For more details read further. I also stayed for a little bit after and did 5.0 hill and 5.0km/h on the treadmill and at the end i did 5.5km/h. Pretty cool! Around 13.45h the gym was more or less empty!

Upstairs neighbors are back bby 😅🔫

Today i am going to try to try and get a high protein number again. My roommate is gone the entire day + evening cause he will be travelling out of the country after work to pick up some music gear, so i have more time to do stuff since he will be home around 8 or 9 i am going to assume. The bad news is that my upstairs neighbors are home again and i think i will probably get a brain aneurysm from it :) Also meeting my new personal trainer/coach tomorrow and i am excited and super nervous!

Pizza day!

I looked in the mirror this morning and my body already looks better even though i have been eating, what i thought were, a lot of calories. It seems that my body craves about 1500-1600 calories which is insane to me. I thought i was going to gain weight because of it? Oh well... i will just keep an eye on it.

There's this new Chinese video AI out that's really good! Except that i tried to create a cute blonde gym girl eating a pizza in a more 3D style and i just couldn't get it right. I generated almost 10 different videos and none of them did what i wanted. I think i have to get better at writing my prompts. This was one of the only ones where the character was actually eating the pizza.

Today is 9/11. I am not American so it doesn't do anything for me. Yesterday i wanted to celebrate that my annoying neighbor lady is moving away. She told me 2 weeks ago that she will get the key to her new place on the 10th (which was yesterday), so i wanted to celebrate with pizza. When my roommate and i walked to the pizzeria, it was closed :( so we will go today instead!

Chill (upper body)

Yesterday i hit such a high protein!!! It was because i bought this pack of seitan bits. It was 150 grams, 246 calories and 45 protein! So much protein for such little calories. I made it with pasta. It was kind of expensive though which SUCKS (4 euros for the entire pack i believe), but it is definitely something i want to keep eating. Today went pretty well. Wish i had gotten up a bit earlier but overall a good day. I ate 1,633 calories and 69.1 protein.


I also did upper-body:

  • shoulder shrugs on pull up bar 3x6
  • bent over rows 3x10 (6kg)
  • bar curls 3x12 (6kg)
  • arnold press 3x8 (4kg)
  • sitting twists 3x12
  • side bends 3x12 (10kg) (kettlebell)

Back 2 focus

What happened on Thursday really rattled me and i was completely taken out of the loop for a good few days. I am however back on focus again (is that a proper sentence?). No more writing about my roommate or other really personal stuff it doesn't matter. I want to focus on my anxiety and exercise and daily routine here, so that is what i will do!


Tomorrow is Monday and i am going to continue with my daily routine thing again where i do my morning routine > walking dog > stretch. I, actually, still did the walking dog after morning routine every day (even today!) but failed on the stretch part since i had not incorporated that properly yet. So i hope that this week will be fruitful enough that if anything like that were to happen again i can at least do those three things.

For the thing i want to do tomorrow... i am not sure yet. The house is a mess so i think i want to focus on that the most right now. Maybe if i really feel like it i will go to the gym tomorrow, but i think i will just keep it for Tuesday and just make it an upper body day instead! I am so zoned in on the gym constantly that i keep forgetting that i can work-out at home as well!

Surround yourself with people who inspire you to improve

This is a quick rant about my roommate/best friend. Normally i wouldn't do this, but i just want it out there in the world if maybe somehow, somewhere someone finds this blog and can give me another perspective on the situation. I am also not afraid whether my roommate/best friend will find this post, because everything i discuss here i have already told him to his face. He knows.

There's a ratine!!!

Today i promised my roommate to edit. Today is also the first day that i add a new bullet point to my routine. So it's morning routine > walk dog > stretch. The weather is warm and gross today and yesterday a rat visited my house to say hello!

Exposure at the gym!

It has already been a week since my schizo post lol, but i guess the routine idea i had worked, because it has been a week and i stuck with my routine! Also, promised my roommate to go to the gym today, and i did go!  I did 15 minutes of treadmill again on a 3.5 incline with a 4.5km speed. I hit 1.07 km again. I really want to hit 1.5km and AI said that i have to walk 6km/h to hit that. So next time i will 4 incline with 5km, so i can gradually increase it to get to 6.

Here is a 5 minute leg stretch video i found last week that i want to share:

Accountability

I kind of want to vent about my roommate, but maybe i should keep that for my personal diary. I asked him today if he could help me by keeping me accountable for doing things. So i told him tomorrow i want to go to the gym, so if i don't go i hope he holds me accountable (i hope i will go though lol).

Habits

I just want to rant a little bit about forming habits and how it has helped me so far with the help of AI. I feel like it is helping me, more than a lot of other things that "specialists" have taught me. I just have to figure out how to plan out my days in terms of exercising and working. Also, i think that if i get to a point where i can get ready, walk my dog, and exercise all before 1PM, i can have very productive days. I just have to figure out how to make myself do that.
