I got my butt kicked today….

and no it wasn’t by Sandy ;) (you know I love ya)

I did my Biggest Loser DVD for 40 minutes and boy did I get a work out. I was so sweaty when I was done. More so than I have been with walking. I felt good when I was done with it and later in the day felt kinda blah.

I am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with me.  My friend from work said maybe I am going through a bout of depression. Nothing major, just being a little depressed because I am not teaching this summer and that is my passion. I had to agree with her, maybe that is why I have been feeling down lately.  She suggested I go to the school next week and start working on my classroom. That will give me something to keep my mind busy.  I just might do that.

My friend also suggested that maybe my meds are still too high and that is what is causing me to have trouble loosing the weight. I had blood work done last week and I go to the doctor on Monday so I will find out then.  She also said that the one medicine I am on can cause me to feel lethargic doing the day which I kinda do feel that way in the afternoon.

I ate better today,and I am feeling better than I have been the last couple days. I have also been drinking my water! I had 88oz of water today. I filled my 22 oz bottle 4times today. I think that is pretty good, but I did have to go to the bathroom a lot.

Does anyone know if the time of day that you exercise has anything to do with your weight loss? When I was working I would exercise in the afternoons and now that I am on vacation and exercising during the morning I am no longer loosing. Could that have something to do with it?

    Hey girl, I’ve always read that the best time to exercise is in the morning. The reason is because your metabolism is at it’s highest in the morning and then declines during the afteroon. By exercising in the morning, you boost that metabolism up to last even longer through the day. But, I don’t work out in the mornings anymore. Just not a morning person. :) Sounds like you had a great work out!

    I have also heard the same thing as WW. I try to get my workout in first thing in the morning. I also walk or do more later in the day if I can. I still break mine up I still can’t seem to do a lot at once. I figure what I do is better than not doing. Each day I push myself to do a little more!
    Big HUGS!

    Sorry to hear you arent feeling 100% girl. I had heard that as well…that working out in the mornings gives that long lasting metabolism “burn” and it also makes me feel good for the day. :)

    Its good that you are going to the doctor on Monday. Maybe that is the key..

    I love my Biggest Loser DVD. Which one do you have? I bought the Cardio Max. It has all 3 trainers in it. Whew….they do make you wanna strangle them. lol
