So far I have just had some fruit. I haven't done any working out yet. But I do plan on going on the treadmill. It's best that I get it in before my shower, that way I don't have to shower twice. I'm going to go and make myself some coffee, so I can stay on the treadmill without getting too tired. I'm planning on having five cups of coffee and then going on the treadmill. Yesterday, I just two workout segments, which isn't bad, but it isn't good either. I kept on putting off going on the treadmill, till I got too tired to go on the treadmill. Admittely, I should have just had some coffee, and gone on the treadmill instead of going to sleep, but at least I am awake now. Orginally I was thinking to wait till next week to go back on the treadmill, but then, I asked myself, "Why the wait, your shoes aren't THAT bad." I mean sure they are pretty warn out, and unless I grab on to the handle bars I will lose my grip and slip and slide right off the treadmill, but they will have to work for the time being. I am hoping to go to the store soon to get some new shoes, so that I can stay longer on the treadmill, and actually run, instead of speed walking, to ensure that I am burning more calories. I want to stay on till I've burnt like five hundred or so calories, but with these shoes, at this point, the rubber will probably burn through, or so I guess, I'm not sure, but I am afraid of that happening if I stay on the treadmill for too long. Not to mention, the damage it is probably doing to my feet, considering the shoes offer no foot support what so ever. But at least it's better than working out in house slippers, that was no fun, and your feet ache for hours afterwards. Next machine, is going to be a machine that you don't need any sports shoes to be able to workout on it, like a excersie bike. I have seen a stair master, I want to try them. I have only seen them on television though, and not in real life.

For breakfast I had a little bit of rice and some yellow mellon. I plan on going on the treadmill soon, for a twenty minute session. With no breaks, I will probably do some warm up workouts before I go on the treadmill, I find that when I do that staying on the treadmill for the entire twnty minutes is much easier, than if I just go on the treadmill without my warm up workouts first. True I am not burning as many calories on the treadmill as I used to. But I have to remember that I am working out more then I used to when I would just work out on the treadmill. I am working out, before and after my treadmill session. And I am only eating in the morning. The last meal I ate yesterday was at eigh in the morning, and then I didn't have anything to eat, till a little after midnight this morning. I haven't had any of those instant noodles in a really long time. Two weeks have passed sense I last had myself a bowl of instant noodles. I'm not saying that I will never eat them again, I am sure a time will come when I will eat them, but for the time being I am saving them. For when I am waiting to stock up on more food. I am glad that when my family came over, we didn't spend the entire weekend eating fast food, in fact the only fast food, if you can actually call it fast food, was Sushi, my dad had Kudu meal. I had asked my husband to get some Cheeto's------I get weird cravings, but they were supposed to be for my sister to snack on. But then my husband didn't get them, in fact he didn't get anything on the list, and so I am hoping that he will get the things tomorrow, because by saturday, I will really need those things, and I am really going off topic here. Today's plan----Have Four cups of Green tea, Workout----for as long as it takes to complete all my repetions. I'm thinking of doing a hundred repetions of everything. and then going on the treadmill for twenty minutes----without any breaks.

I work up a sweat on the treadmill. For the sake of reserving my shoes for as long as possible, I only stayed on for twenty minutes. On the good note, I didn't take any breaks what so ever during the entire twenty minutes that I worked out on the treadmill so that's a good thing. Before that I had worked out with my weights, and afterwards I did some non weight lifting worklifting, and then I'm going to do standing workouts----off the treadmill of course. At first I was going to wait to get new shoes before I went back on the treadmill, but then I decided that I would go on the treadmill for twenty minutes so that I can warn them out and then I'll have no choice but to go and buy those shoes from City Max, and I won't be thinking, "Well I could have waited," That's what I'm thinking now. I can wait a while. At least till these shoes are no longer wearable.

Yesterday, I just had a little bit of bread, some chickpeas and egglpant with yougurt, and some salad, and fruit. This morning I've just had some grilled onions----I spend the weekends alone, so it should be fine. I didn't work out yesterday, so I'm going to make up for it today. Later I'll probably just have some more fruit. I have a yellow melon that I can slice up and have some later this morning. seven hours between meals could be a smart idea. or from four to seven hours.

I need to workout. I am feeling fat and working out always helps with that. I'm hoping on starting the workout earlier today, so I can complete my whole workout session, before breakfast this morning. The workout is going to include going on the treadmill, no matter how much it hurts my feet. it will all be worth it in the end. I just go on for twenty minutes, every single day. I'm not going to obsess about the amount of calories I burn on the machine---Easier said then done. Because I have to factor in, that I'm going to be dancing, and jump roping in additon to the floor workouts, and the weight workouts.

I have written down, exactly how many repetions I am going to do of each workout--- for example I am going to do seventy repetions of floor workouts, and that includes the workouts I do while standing, like jumping jacks, running in place. The floor workouts are divided into two sections, the workouts I do while lying down, and the workouts I do while standing up. And then there's dancing, and weight lifting. Not to bulk up. But to build muscle. This morning I had two sandwiches, one cheese and one meat. And right now I'm waiting for my second cup of black coffee to cool off. I am drinking coffee to give me some engergy to workout for the amount of time that I am going to be working for. Even though my legs are still stiff from all that walking yesterday, plus working out for four hours in the morning, I am still going to workout today. My body gains weight so quickly, so I really have to step up to the workout mat everyday-----except during that time of the month-------but the other three weeks of the month, I am going to be working out, in the am, I reserve the am for working out. I realize that it is not enough for me to just workout for practically endless hours during the am, I also have to eat right. So for breakfast I'm just going to have some fruit, instead of a second serving of white starches, I need to eliminate them. That's what I need to do.

I woke up at one this morning. Did four hours of working out, and then I had some breafast. No white starches. Okay, just some French fries, (Shouldn't have had those) and then I made myself some tea to help burn the fat. and I'll most likely be doing more working out later before I go to bed, and I am hoping to get some sports shoes soon so that I can back to go on the treadmill.

I have been doing good lately. Drinking lots of tea throughout the day. Working out---except during my period. but I do clean and dust almost everyday, so I'm always keeping busy, and moving. I haven;t been eating that much, of course not to the point of starvation. The last thing I want is for my body to go into starvation mode. That will make it even more difficult for me to lose weight. One of these days I'll get to the store to get some sports shoes, so that I get back on the treadmill. in liue of the treadmill I have been doing other workouts, but not during my period, after my period, I plan on working out seven days a week. Both High (Dancing) Medium---Jumping Jacks---Running in place------ and low------workouts mixed in with weight lifting. They are only five pound weights. So they are too heavy, and they are easy for me to incorporate into my workouts. I used to want a scale, but I'm afraid that if I get a scale--- and see a number I don't like, even though it could be muslce weight, because muscle weights more than fat. I'll think that I'm fat, and I'll end up starving myself. I know myself. So it's best that I don't get a scale.

I have changed from going on the treadmill---only till I get some new shoes, because mine are to worn out. and now I'm doing other workouts, both medium impact and low impact. I've been having lots of tea and some coffee, I've read that black tea or coffee is a good for burning fat. I have no idea what my body fat percetenge is, I heard that it's more important then weight. I've incorporated weight training into my workouts to build muscle. I'm slowly, eliminating white starches from my diet, or at the very least cutting my custumtion of them.
