I am trying to post more often, but it seems as though it'll be a post per month.
So my new year's resolution is to hit the gym and reach my first goal weight of 100. I am now 103.5 lbs! I think this is the lightest I've been since 2009! I want to get to 100 and then when I move out and can control the amount of food in my home I can get down to 95 lbs. I was 95 lbs when I was 24 years old and going to the gym Mon to Friday because I had a super crush on one of the personal trainers at NYSC. That was back in 2001. I have to say the fittest times of my life have been in 2001 and 2009. I think I want to have the body I had when I was 24 years old. 95 is my ideal weight. In 2009 while training for the NYC Marathon I went to an all-time low of 87 lbs, that wasn't healthy for me though. I think that was the combination of being on Geodon (ziprasidone) and exercising a lot (running over 30 miles a week).
So my ideal gym schedule that I've laid out for me is the following:
- 3 runs (of 4 miles each) - Sunday morning -- try for 5-6 miles when 4 miles becomes easier, Wednesday and Friday running
- 2-3 spin classes of 41-42 minutes (I love Gregg Cook's Terracycle classes, I also love Robert Pennino's Terrier Tri Cycling but his schedule of spin classes are not feasible for me to attend, they are at 85th and 63rd.. Maybe when I move to Astoria I will go to his when I have a flexible schedule) I'm gonna post a separate entry about spin classes when I have the time. GC's Terracycle classes are Mon and Thur at 19th Street Equinox at 9AM. I am not sure if I should do Wil Ashley's Saturday 9 or 10AM spin class.
- 1 yoga class - Tuesday mornings (8-9AM) at Soho gym by Sarra Morton
- 1 Pilates class - Saturday mornings from 11:05-12pm by Jewel Elizabeth
I just want to be able to fit into all my summer dresses. I have so many clothes from when I was thinner that I want to be able to fit into. It'll keep to the theme of saving money by not buying new clothes to fit into.
I have this one dress that I want to fit into. I think I may be a 00 - 24 in jeans now! The 2-26 jeans are too big for me to wear. I will not throw them away though because my weight fluctuates too much now.
I have this tendency to get up in the middle of the night to eat. I have to put fruit and veggies on the table and not eat leftover dinner portions. For instance yesterday my mom left me a slice of pizza which I devoured when I realized it was there. I also don't have any recollection of eating but there will be some remnant of food leftover in my mouth so then I will know.
