Secret Exercise and Social Media....Day 10

Posted on July 30, 2014

Yesterday I wish I did more than I did but I received a call from my mom that we may have had to drive to Albany to get my sister so I up and left the gym after a 1/2 hour when I normally stay for 1 hour by the time I got home and was ready to go she told me never mind. So instead of working out I worked on cleaning up the house for a bit. Since I have been on a gym workout fix I have let my house go. I feel there's just not enough hours in the day latley to get everything done and I get up at 5:30 in the morning just to start my day. Ugh. So why is my heading secret Exercise and Social media as they are way 2 different things.

Let me start with secret exercise. I only say its secret because no one sees me do it and it gets me moving. It might label me as being weird but I don't care more. I am at work for 8.5 hours every day and on the computer for probably a total of 12 hours a day. This week I started doing bathroom workouts. You might think what? Eww? Huh? but it's not what you think. Because I work in a place full of men. I can't stand up every hour and do squats or sit-ups or pushups in my room as they are perverted as to any other man around. So every time I go to the bathroom I do 20 squats and 20 wall pushups off the wall ( not the floor) I drink water only all day so I end up going 3-4x at work that's 80 of each by the end of my day and only takes me probably 1-2 min tops on doing them. This also gets my heart rate up doing the squats, Next week I will probably up it to 30 each as I get stronger and faster. Call me crazy but if you work in an office all day long and sit at a computer, they say to get up every hour so why not do some exercises even if its privately done. :) Ok you can call me weird now but all I know is I can bench 10lb stronger this week on the leg press and hip abductions than the week before.

This moves me onto social media... Something I have very mixed feelings on. Don't get me wrong I love my apps I use and websites ect. But I am honestly sick of Facebook but I run websites attached to my facebook so I can't get rid of Facebook. I am not allowed to vent, share my goals, or my accomplishments without one sour puss in the group or someone judging me yelling at me to take what I have to say down. Ugh wht doesn't help is I also work with family, so I am not allowed to post anything about work on Facebook even if I am angry at people for something they have done or I need to vent because I am sick of trying to concentrate on my work and I can't because theres 5 hrs of talking behind my head. 2 days ago I posted about starting a carb cycling diet, i was feeling accomplished as I did so much work outs and was under my kcal count I was so happy because Its all new to me and I am excited to not feel hungry or feel like I am crashing, this morning I received a comment on my page that I took wrong or right I am not sure but It made me a bit upset as to me being told that people don't care what i eat, how much I exercise, or my accomplishments until I am a size ten which I am a size 20. Well it set me off, i feel what I post if you don't like what I am saying about what I am eating, doing, exercising then don't read what I have to say. ugh. sorry for the vent but I am at a loss with fb and ready to pull everything I have on there off of it and just leave my websites running.

Anyways Today is my High Carb day and it took me 2 hours to set up food today as I kept going way over my kcal goal. I finally got it to 40% carb and protein and 20% fat. OH and I signed up for another 30 sessions with my Trainer. And told him this time I have a goal to run the Jingle Bell Run and the Turkey Trot in the fall. I think having a goal this time around will keep me more motivated.

Till tomorrow!

I do bathroom wall push-ups too :) shhhh
And set your FB to private and delete haters, or just share all your health related stuff on here. :)
And it's totally understandable that those comments made you upset. "Nobody cares until you're a size 10"? Are you freaking kidding me? SMH
People care now, whatever size you happen to be :)

You're doing a great job handling ways to get your exercise in despite your working arrangements. I love the idea of doing squats & wall push-ups in the bathroom. If that's the only place to get it done, then do it!!! Girl, we always make up excuses why we can't exercise, but now there's no excuse. You've given us the answer to our prayers. YAY!!!

I'm not on Facebook, & my friends & family are constantly trying to get me to open one. I'm not interested. It's funny though.... I don't have a Facebook page, but I love interacting with all of you (my Dietbetter family). We all have a common goal: to get healthy & lose weight. So, whether you're on Facebook or not, there's always gonna be haters no matter where you go or what you do!!! The next time somebody has something negative to say, don't get upset about it; just say "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!!!' Then smile & walk away. Don't give them the power to get you upset. They're not worth your energy. Keep up the good work!!! :-)

I think it's amazing that you have committed to finding a way to exercise during the day at work! It's a shame you have to go to the bathroom to do it, but I totally understand why. I'm 40 and other than starting my Dietbet adventure 2 months ago I have never done, don't do and never plan to do any sort of social media...just for the fact you mentioned.....so it's easy for me to say to you that there will always be 'haters' or whatever you want to call them but don't let someones judgement or comment bother you, if anything they are jealous that you are in a happy place and meeting goals. Most people go through life thinking their life is 'as good as it gets' and don't try to push themselves. Be proud! I'm proud of you!! Keep going strong!!

Thank you Kim!!! That means alot!!!! I grew up with social media unfortunatly it is part of my generation now. I was around when fb started but I am contemplating whether to take everything of and start all over, I get judged on so much I can't write about my family, my child with adhd/sensory issues, or work without getting screamed at and now this. ugh
