Weight: Roughly 115lbs

Since I am not a fan of the gym I choose to do workouts at home. As I prefer to exercise before I go to college (which means getting up at 6 o'clock), I like quick but somewhat intense workouts. This record is from the last few days just to bring myself up to date (as I only really started doing HIITS and tracking it then) but prior to that I have been doing the weight training Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays along with skipping (weather permitting) and some yoga.

Sunday being the day of rest and all that :pac: decided to do light exercise today. That, and when I woke up this morning I just felt knackered. I did get up at six yesterday morning to exercise (also because I like being the first one down and having enough time to do exercise + yoga and still have time left over to just sit and eat breakfast and read in peace and quiet on the weekends) but I went to bed at 10. But decided to sleep in until half 7.
I wanted to give my knees a rest too so did mostly arm and did leg exercises that wouldn't be too straining for my knees. I'm hoping to make the effort to go swimming next week too just to switch it up. I just get lazy thinking about it as I'd have to walk 30 mins to get there (as I can't drive....yet and wouldn't have a lift on the weekdays!:) ) Plan to weigh myself tomorrow as well. Diet remains good and on course much to my suprise! Had my egg in toast with some parmesan cheese that I had been looking forward to all week!:) Had a little bit of porridge and some liver (separately!:pac:) afterwards too though!:o Back to a proper workout Monday hopefully!:)
HIIT: (If it can be called that today, I barley sweated!)
15 mins. I completed 6 or 7 I'm afraid I forgot to keep count!:pac: But it's one or the other!
Chair dips x 20
Russian twists x20
Donkey Kicks x 20 (10 each leg)
High hand kicks x20
Plank hand-to-hand x 20
Soles of feet joined sit up x20
V ups x 20
Back on floor touch sides of shoes x20
Added 30 Jumping jacks at the end
Yoga - 14 minutes

Exercise #1
HIIT - 10 minutes with 30 second intervals for each exercise, no rest.
1) Side plank with leg lift and jump up
2) Side crunches
3) Side to side squat (starting with legs together, moving out right leg, squat, back together then left leg etc.)
4) Side to side push up
5) Knee hugs
6) Elbow plank
7) Bike Press
8) Plank Jump
I don't know what it was but I barely sweated at all with this workout which frustrated me as I felt I must have been doing it wrong or not intensely enough. Decided to give myself 5-10 minutes and do another HIIT. That wiped me out! I had to take breaks in between some of the exercises, felt like a failure But God, did I sweat!:pac: Didn't do as many reptile push ups as I should of because I only noticed that they were on the list the after the second round!
Exercise #2
1) Suitcase Deadlift x 10 Reps (right arm)
2) Donkey Kicks with Jump squat x 10 Reps
3) Suitcase Deadlift x10 (left arm)

Diet: On track! My brother's graduation is on Wednesday and we're going out to an Italian place (Bella Italia in Limerick) to eat afterwards. I don't plan to go crazy food wise but I plan to up the exercise a bit tomorrow just so I might MIGHT have desert and not have to feel annoyed or disappointed or whatever. I looked at the menu and most things come with a creamy white sauce but some have a tomato based sauce so I was wondering would the tomato based sauce be a healthier choice?
They also have tagliatelle with seafood in a garlic based sauce with white wine. And of course they have probably the safest option spaghetti bolognese. I hope I don't sound like I'm obsessing over it because I'm not, but I want to make a decent decision so I can have a brownie for desert!;) They also have a beef cannelloni which looks really good! Thanks guys!0 -

Diet went off kilter last night. Had too many mini kit kats and a bowl of ice cream! Whatever was going on with me. I hadn't the slightest craving for sweets or anything the last two weeks! And of I feel worse today! Anyway, I'm going to make this my rest day and do some yoga to just help screw my head back on again! 0

At 114lb I doubt you have a lot (any?) weight to lose depending on your height, so I would not worry too much about the odd blip to be honest - focus on how well you are doing 90% of the time as that's what matters most! 0 -

"Mini Kit Kats...sure they're only half a Kit Kat".
But you (I) end up eating 5.
Anyway, back on the horse
You're absolutely right talk about not being able to follow my own advice! I always know that sets me off but yet I let my mood take over! I think what started it was having cheese on toast, one slice. Bread in general tends to start off my craving for sweets if I eat too late in the day especially when I have cheese on toast for some reason. Didn't exercise today either and my diet is still off but I am determined to start fresh tomorrow. Might go for a swim just to shake it up a bit.

I'm more focused on building a bit of muscle and just 'toning' up a bit as well in general improving my overall health. I don't like to go over 115lbs as I feel that bit extra on me as silly as that might sound. At 1114lbs I'm roughly 8 stone which I think is about right for my height 5ft. I know there are girls who'd be 110lbs and under at my height but I've never been able to go under that. However I've rarely ever gone over 8st 3 so 114lbs is a comfortable weight for me. Thanks! Back to it tomorrow, no question. At least these logs make me feel that I have some accountability! Need to pick up the yoga too if nothing else! 0 -

Never put off tomorrow what you can start today! (Hate motivational quotes :pac: but it's clearly one of those days). I refuse to let one bad day derail everything. Though my diet has not been stellar today I've sneaked in some light exercise and yoga to just start on the right path again.
20 Air Squats
10 Jump Lunges
20 Push-ups
20 Elevated Bridges (20 each leg)
20 One Leg Push-Up (10 each leg)
20 Elevated Lunges
15 Burpees (two push-ups each burpee)
5 One Leg Push-up Burpees
Yoga - 20 mins0 -
Apologies I have been AWOL lately. Just started back at college and have a fair few 9 o'clock lectures so I am struggling to make an effort to get up before 6 (as I commute) to exercise (I know I won't do it in the evening). My diet was not great last week but funnily enough since I've been back at college it's improved! I have let my yoga slip too, but I will just have to make time for them if I want to keep my sanity during my final year. Also, had sardines on toast today!:pac: Never eaten sardines before but they were lovely!
I'm afraid my only exercise today has been skipping for 15 mins before it started to rain! But I will try my best to make more of an effort! The most I managed to do Tuesday morning before college was 20 push ups and 20 squats and 10 burpees! 0 -

09/04/2015 Thursday - Didn't get any exercise in. I was up at six to prepare for a conference in college and was there all day. Didn't get home until 9 and since I had to be up early in the morning it was straight to bed.
10/04/2015 Friday - Again, mainly because I was tired from the previous day, I slept until 6:20 which meant I'd no time to exercise because I had to be up early for a nine o'clock lecture and was leaving the house at 7:30 and I need the hour to get everything sorted. However, I did a bit of walking yesterday about an hour in two slots. Went to the cinema and managed to keep it to a small popcorn and a bottle of water (stopped getting fizzy drinks at the cinema ages ago). But I did then come home and because I was hungry I ate a mozzarella sandwich (brown bread), a croissant and an orange
11/04/2015 - Saturday Didn't do any exercise this morning (got up too late) but I'm hoping to get some in later. Will keep posted. I weighed myself today however and was not impressed at all
I'm now 122.2lbs:eek: I knew I could feel extra weight and being only 5ft it's certainly not the best weight to be at so it's gotta go. My ideal weight is 114lbs or under. At least it gives me motivation to not eat crap!:) 0 -

Got this bad boy done today. Had to drop the weights though - I used six pound weights. I initially tried to do it with 10 pounds but after a few exercises I realised my form was being compromised and I risked injuring myself or just likely to pull something. I still got absolutely wiped out, sweating like I don't know what, from the lighter weights so I was glad, as I figured that the heavier weights would have probably made me quit before completed all the rounds!
Rounds: 5 Time:17 minutes
1) Push Press x 10 reps
2) Thrusters x 10 reps
3) Back Curl Lunge x 10 reps
4) Preacher Curl x 10 reps
5) Weighted Jump Lunge x 10 reps
6) Broad Jump Burpee x 10 reps
Squeezed in a few minutes of yoga too just to cool down and relax
