Haylee Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ahhh the gym has been so packed lately. Wish I could find one with less people, always get a bit anxietied around too much people/noise. Did 30 mins on the treadmill, and 15 on the elliptical. Weight room was far too packed, gonna hit it up tomorrow earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thulpa Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 If they gym is packed, I would try different times of day to go. I was at a gym where all the 9-11am people would take over a rack and allow people to work in and out as they needed so that people could get their workouts in and not fight the crowds. Sometimes going earlier or later in the day is best. I tend to go around 9 am after the office people but before the housewives. I also go late in the day if needed around 8 people start to leave. Good Luck, I know that it can be hard to get a work out in around a gym and life scheduleSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.O. Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Haylee you qualify for the prize package, congrats! That's great that the training journal has helped motivate you and help you hold yourself accountable. I feel the same way about it myself. Something about keeping track and being able to go back and look at what I've done and eaten is definitely rewarding. I hope that you will continue to share your fitness journal with us all here on the forum. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haylee Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks Dylan!!!! What an amazing opportunity. I find myself addicted to this forum, and what a great addiction lol!! Ive just inspired two friends to get a gym membership with my boyfriend and I. They are a couple as well. We have been working out together the past few days, and its been such a blast! Today its snowing like crazy, but it was leg day. I did a ton of legg exercises using body weight + an exercise ball. Squats ( hindu, body ball) 50 total... hamstring curls using body ball 25 total... bridge 10 total Lunges 50 total I can't believe how badly my legs hurt from that lol!!

Haylee Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 I've also been thinking about how crappy my diet is. Ive always been a compulsive/emotional over eater..which is how I got to be about 300 pounds I'm very thankful that I've learned to see and treat food differently, but I still have rough days. I haven't been the same since around Christmas time. I got lazy, stopped counting all my macros, etc. I decided today that I am going back to tracking everything, as well as only allowing myself to eat every 3 hours. No exceptions, unless its a very special circumstance. This should combat all of the reckless bored eating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kareno Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hey Haylee! I also deal with compulsive overeating, so I totally hear you on that one. It's ridiculous and feels like an illness sometimes. Ugh. I keep track of my food intake with myfitnesspal.com and their app. It doesn't always stop me from overeating, but definitely helps more often than not, when I know I have to track it. Also, this forum has helped a lot too, especially during the January challenge, knowing I "had to" post it here. What system do you use to track your food intake? I wish you the very best!!! ~Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjcollette Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hi haylee!You are incredible! So awesome to read these posts and see such big changes! You're doing this the right way!!!I can attest to the smith machine...it forces you into one constricted movement, which has its pros and cons. The cons, in my book, outweigh the pros. I, too, would advise you to use dumbbells for over head should press. Make sure someone is there to spot you, keeping in mind you want smooth flowing movements, elbows not to drop much lower if at all than shoulder, & if your shoulders are feeling jarred. Drop weight. It's imperative to do it right the first time then to spend months or years trying to heal and correct something from doing it wrong!- sorry that was so lengthy :/ I didn't realize how passionate I was about the Smith You are so inspiring! Ps-I HATE cardio too , but I find it much more bearable in between sets of lifting!! Or outside! I can't wait to hear more of your exciting journey!! Thank you for sharing!!Enjoy your weekend!
