Sooooo..you'll all be happy to know, I'm still at it. While I agree that going EVERY day and doing an hour of cardio plus weights was an ambitious goal. I have to admit..I think I might have been a little over-ambitious. I have managed to go at least 5 times a week, which I think is probably a pretty good record (so far).
Haven't seen shirtless hairy late 40's guy...Haven't seen 80's Sweatshirt Guy. They have disappeared so it seems...to be replaced by a new cast of characters. Nobody nearly as entertaining yet.
On a serious note, I am asking for help from my facebook and blog friends who might have experienced this...I am fricking exhausted! I have been working out, and doing my Weight Watchers diet. I am really beat! (and I wake up in the morning to this horrible empty feeling in my tummy..I'm assuming this is hunger...) I don't get it..isn't exercise suppose to make you more energetic? Honestly..I did my hour on the treadmill this am, followed by a good arm workout. I had to show condo's and townhomes today. I almost cried when I discovered most were on the 3rd floor and I had to walk up all those stairs! WTF~Over? Is this normal?
On a somewhat funnier note. As I entered the gym today, I noticed the WARNING sign and took a moment to stop and read it. Seems the pool and hot tub had been shut down due to "Fecal Matter Found In Pool". They were being drained and cleaned. My mind of course took me to the forever beloved scene in CaddyShack...which sent me in to a puddle of giggles. I'm certain I looked quite ridiculous..if not crazy standing there laughing my ass off at this sign. Still makes me smile a little..even now.
Also, I have spent the last 5 or so years explaining to my husband that he does not need supplements or energy drinks or any of that crap to get fit. So..yesterday I busted open his magic little bottle of N.O. Xplode and helped myself to a serving pre-work out. I think it might have helped with my energy. Kudos to my hubby who let a perfectly good "oh...see...I told you so!" moment pass with hardly a peep or an eye roll! God help me...next I'll be drinking Diet Rockstar and wearing spandex!

So Lee, various things regarding the serious portion of this very fine blog. Feeling that hungry every day is NOT normal and being hungry is probably eating up you needed calories leaving you fatigued. Weight Watchers may not be giving you enough calories for you in relationship to your work out. Chris's supplements may be the good idea (as hard as that is to admit:O)) or at least upping your calorie intake a small bit. Also it may partially be doing the same work out every day (if you are). One more bit of possible advice from Jeffery is that though it is theoretically better for weight loss to work out in the AM, SOME peoples bodies don't work the same way and NEED to exercise like that in the afternoon or evening vs in the AM...or alternate your days to mix it up a bit. That's all I got. :O)
ReplyDeleteBTW on the whole Caddy Shack thing-BWAHHAHHAA~ soooo funny!
Keep up the hard work, seriously! I'm so proud of you!!!!
Thanks Mary...I just dug out my WW literature. Looks like if you do one hour of "strenuous" activity you "earn" 9 extra points! Might explain why I'm so darn hungry all the time! (Considering I'm suppose to be eating 22 on a regular day without the activity...and have been staying pretty close to that!) Maybe a little extra protein in the day wont be so bad. I'll give it a try. I HATE working out in the afternoon...so I hope it's NOT that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice! We will see how the next few days go!
PS....Glad to hear you are sticking to it girl! You are a rock star!
