Taking out my anger at the gym!

Good ning everyone!!!
  
I havent done so much today, but i did get out of the house to go to the gym anyway!!
  I had booked myself into a circuit training pass!!! It was really good!! I love circuit training!! Its my favourite. You work the whole body, and you actually have training pain afterwards!!!


^^Ok, you cant actually see in the poictures... because my mobile camera is bad... but i actually had the start of abs... and you know the like side abs? hahah
 
  
I had lots of extra energy afterwards (because of certain circumstances & reasons) so i went full out and did HIIT training afterwards!! Hahah, i really went all out. But it felt so good. I  didnt feel tired, i was just full of energy!!
 
Here is a training tip from me to you: HIIT Training (High intensity interval training) is one of the best.
   For both progress, stamina and weight loss... (im not ddoing HIIT for the 3rd reason though...)
  Basically, instead of just running for an hour at the same speed. Walk, jog and sprint....
  walk 2 minutes, jog 5 minutes, sprint 3 minutes and repeat.... or you know, however minutes you want to do of each.
  It has a much better effect then just going at the same speed!!! Its my absaloute favourite thing to do. I really notice the effects!! I mean, now i can run at a speed of 13km/h for a full 5 minutes!!! Because of HIIT i can run longer and faster and not get as tired, but actually work harder? And i see progress alot faster :)

After training i took a gainomax Cappucinno flavour which is now my favourite flavour!!
 

Since then, i havent done so much... been waiting. waiting. waiting to use the computer... it sucks not having my own. :/ And not having enough money to buy my own one either... :/ I really need and want a job.
  Im actually thinking abotu asking to have a job at the gym!! Haha... nah, ok, most probably not. But i mean, im there a few times a week anyway? But i wouldnt be able to work out while i was working there, and id have to work at the evenings, and not get a chance to actually work out... so i dont think it would work.
  I think the best would be to work in a shop during weekends... we'll see. But i serisouly need some money!!!
 
haha

Detox

Gosh, this weekend i am going on a detox. I feel bloated and awfull... not nice at all.
  This week, i havent had time to think about my food or what ive eaten. Its mainly just fix something quick... and i know that i havent eaten alot this week.
  Barely what i actually need... just a little breakfast, a little lunch, a small dinner and then like a fruit before bed....
  Not enough, im surprised that i havent lost weight.

But this weekend, i am going to take time with my food, not just shove it in. And i am going to eat eat healthy, not just like loads of bread which makes me bloated and like the only thing ive been eating. Ive eaten loads fof chocolate, as ive been trying to make up for lost calories...
   Eating junk food and bad food makes me feel all bloated and makes me feel slow and all sweaty... nah, not a nice feeling. I dont feel as energetic.
  
Why im sharing this, i dont know..? I jsut felt i needed to get it out of me.... ehhh...

Fruit and vegetables is what counts this weekend!!! It sounds like im going on some diet, but im not. Its just this weekend, where i want to try to clean my body.... so that i get my energy back and start thinking striaght.

Food - Hot and Not

1 food item that ive found, and i love! and another one which i found, and didnt like!

Hot at the moment:
 My new favourite chocolate bar!! :)
   I decided to give it a try, and i was surprised that i liked it!!
  Why it is called 'sport lunch' i have no idea. As it is rather unhealthy, and definitely not a lunch?








Not at the moment:

Gainomax Recovery, chocolate flavour.
 It was  a dissappointment. I was looking forward to a nice chocolate flavour after training... but no. I actually jsut poured it out. -_-

I love the Vanilla flavour though!! So i do suggest gainomax vanilla after training!

(You know that if you're trying to build muscles, you have to eat more then usual, as you break down your muscles while training, and then you have to give it protein and carbs so it can build itself up even bigger... and that is done during rest. So train hard, eat well and rest!!!)

exercise and the gym

Exercise and the gym are more then just burning calories and losing weight. Exercise is important for health aswell. People who are skinny/thin and don't exercise are just as unhealthy as people who are obese and don't exercise. It's important for everyone. An hour each day. I love exercise and sport. It always makes me feel so much better!!! I spend time exercising and prioritizing exercise because I know its important. And it makes me feel better. I don't feel so stressed. I hate when I get the comment ' well you don't need to exercise do you?' It's like... yeah I do. But maybe not for the same reason as someone who is 20kg overweight... but its still about health. I hate how people think you need to exercise just to lose weight .....

Fate of the blog

I thought it would be easier to run two blogs.. i though i would gradually just write on this blog. But at the moment, there is alot going on with my other blog. I.e promoting it, and there is an article on the way etc etc... so im laying much more time on my other blog ( http://living-with-anorexia.blogspot.se/
  Of course, in time.. i will write more here. But at the moment, its not so often as im in school, and training and friends and then writing on my other blog.
 But dont unfollow, because i will still write here and in time there will be more....

I want to gradually write about my life here, about my days, and all the healthy good food i eat, and more abotu my training, i want to fill in details, and more readers...
   but that will all come in time!!

Making time for the gym

To me, training/gym/exercise is a priority in my life... just like, school, friends&family, food and fun is.
  And i try to make time for all of it!!!

Exercise makes me feel good, and takes my stress away. If im stressing loads, or have loads to do... then i just accept the fact that the gym comes second/third place, i dont prioritize it first... as that leads to obsession or compulsion...
  
Today, as i finished school early enough, i headed to the gym!!! First it was some strength training.... my abs seem to have dissappeared..? lol so i got work those up again :)
   And my arm muscles are fading... or is it just me, as im getting used to how i look.. so now it feels like i need to tone up more?
 i dont know!!!
And then i did 1 hour on the ellliptical... which was killing!! haha. I split it up to 30 & 30.
   But after the first half hour, which left my legs feeling heavy. I took a five minute break where i drank like a liter water... and then back onto the elliptical... after 10 minutes i was like... 20 minutes left? I CANT!! haha.. my legs felt so heavy, i spent the rest of the 20 minutes wondering if i should run instead, or just stop and go home.. but before i knew it.. it was 3 mintues left... and then i really went for it!! haha...
   And then that was that, covered in sweat and feeling tired, i ate my apple, drank my protein drink and got changed!!! :)
  That was my little trip to the gym today!!!!

^^Not today!

Exercise talk?

I usually dont talk to anyone about my training, or what exercise i do... im not so sure if that is considered a sick thing or not..? I mean, i tell my mum when i go to the gym, so she knows that i go a few times a week... and thats that.
  The main reason i dont talk to her about my exercise routines is that im worried that she would think that i push myself to hard..? When really, im just pushing myself so far i can go, pushnig myself so i get better... i mean, whats the point of going ot the gym if you're not going to go there to improve, when i feel like just running... to let go of everything. To enjoy running, i go outside. I just put on my trainers and go for a run outside, but when i go to the gym.. i go there to improve.
  Either i really run hard and fast on the treadmill, or i do both cardio & strength..
 
The last day though, i was so proud of myeslf when i had run the like 14km, that i told my mum!!! I was happy and proud of myself, my mum didnt seem so happy though. Her worried face came on, and she was like, is it usual to run that much? ermm... if you're a proffessional i guess..? but i mean, the people who run marathons run like 3/4 hours... i run 90 minutes....
  And that day i only ran, i didnt do any strength...

i should be allowed to be happy about myself, about my progress... of course, im not gonna share that happiness with my mum. She doesnt understand. I understand that she might be worried, but still...
 
Im just gonna have to post my progress here... or keep it to myself!! haha XD
