New Food log in Extrapounds

The new changes in EP look interesting. I specifically like the Food logging tool. But i don't know how i can get the log to show up in my page.
Any ideas, anyone?

Sugar dependency

Just that. I know what the problem is, but at the moment i can't do anything about it. These days half a pint of icecream is the only thing that gets me though my nights...

start of the 24 weeks program

Today i started the 24 week running program.
I wanna do the runs n the odd days and do the walk strength class on the even days.
I might substitute the run with kickboxing which is on TRs.

Today:
2 minutes walk
.5 minutes run
distance: 1.9m
speed 3.8

I paid 25$ and rented a locker in the gym. Now my gym stuff will be ready for me there whenever i decide to go to gym.

Blueberry-Peach Crisps

I fasted yesterday and i'm fasting today too. Besides from the spiritual reasons, I think this has been a gd practice to control my recent munching habit. No trace of weightloss though...sigh.

I've made a healthy desset from this recipe Blueberry-Mango “Crisp” and now waiting for Iftar to taste it with a scoop of the Hagen-Daz vanilla yogurt i bought last night. I aslo bought Hagen-Daz green tea icecream which was just .... heavonly.

I will go to strangth and/or kickboxing tomorrow. I think it's not a bad idea to go kickboxing after such long time. That's of course if that class is not cramped with all these new freshmen, sigh!

okay, i ate like CRAZY today. i couldn't stop myself. Iwent to the fridge like 20 times after dinner and munched on different stuff.... 

 I feel BAD :(

these days

I feel bloated and ... okay i say it... fat. The weird thing is that i just gained like 3 pounds, but my belly is huge. And i don't like it.  My only consolation is that my boobs have grown too and look actually good.

I hate to "i should" myself, but i should commit to a lower calorie diet and more workout. Tonight i went and bought the group fitness pass in our gym. I hope that helps, though i feel so heavy and out of energy and non-enthusiastic about all this.

A request to my good-hearted readers, who can access the weightloss log in Anarestan, could you please update my weight to 117?

updates

Went to gym (strength class) on Monday and Today. I was pretty sore from the Monday class cause it has been over a month since i did any serious workout, but i pushed myself to go today too.

My parents are here, and my mom has taken over the kitchen:) There is no way of avoiding white rice now, but i should watch my portions.  I had a pint of unresistable chocolate icecream in the freezer, but thanks heavons i finished it lat night and i won't let  it in my fridge for a while.

How do you do Ellipticals?

I have gained a couple of extra pounds. No wonder cause my workout routin has interuupted with my workload, my family visit and some personal issues. But i am determined to get the control back over it, and in a way that it doesn't interfere with my studying. Group fitness classes are closed for another 2 weeks till the Fall semester begins. So i;m gonna go to gym and run/walk on the treadmill.

I also would like to try Elliptical for a change, but i don't  know how. Somehow i have found it hard to figure out when i tried it long time ago. The movement didn't look natural to my body at all. I felt like i had to raise my knees unnaturally high when pedalling and i couldn't reach the hand handles easily. Is it because i am pettite (5' 2'')? Is there an initial level/resistance i sould try till i get comfortable with the machine? Should there be intervals like the run/walk we do on the treadmill?

Any hints, suggestions, anyone?

and I pray

   For all weak and weary
For all the sick
For all who need strength to hang on
For all who seek patience to bear the pain

For my blogger friend Diana who all of a sudden disappeared from the virtual world.
For my blogger friend Artemis, who is struggling with illness
For my blogger friend Sarah who lost a twin child in labor and
For her newborn son to recover to health.

"Our Lord! On thee we rely, and to Thee do we turn, and to Thee is the eventual coming."

Run and kick miracle, once again

I had forgotten how empowering a good workout could be to me. These days i am crushed between school stress and some personal hardships. Feeling low, tired and beaten up had become a regular feeling. This afternoon, after meeting with my advise, i came back to office and all i wanted to do was to lie down and sleep. Instead i went to gym. I strated to walk/run on the treadmill with the ipod volume on max. The first interval of run was tough, i had pain on my ankle and chest, so i switched to a power walk uphill. Boy it was great. I was jogging uphill with a fast tempo in my head. I could feel the heat beneath my skin. The amazing miracle of running statred to kick in. I was there, i was running , i was STRONG. No one and no workload in the world could bend my knees. I felt i had the power to face anything that might come up on my way. What an amazing relationship between the body and the soul. I ran the last 5 minutes of my workout nonstop. It added up to 2 miles and more than half of it was uphill walk.

Then i decided to go to the cardio dance class and just stay for the beginning stertches. To my surprise instead of the cardio dance, there was the kickboxing class going on. Hooray! I stayed and took the class. I'm physically tired now, but feel amzingfly fresh and energized.
