Wow! So apparently, in 30 mins of pilates you burn about 180 calories, and 90 calories every 15 minutes. I did an hour which means about 360 calories, but since that seems so much, and I didn’t feel as though it was that big a workout, I’ll just say I burned 200 calories instead :) which means yesterday, I burned 500 calories!!! :D
Updates:
Saturday: ended up working out for about 45 mins and burned 360 calories on the elliptical/treadmill.
Sunday: rest day.
Monday: burned 340 calories on a stationary bike.
Tuesday: burned 300 calories on the elliptical and did a 1hr pilates class at the gym.
I’ve been eating pretty well this entire time, except for maybe sunday where I had some chocolate, but overall I’ve been way better than the usual :)
I’m a bit annoyed cause I seem to have plateaued at 123.4lbs but I’m motivated to be at about 120lbs by my birthday (another 6 days to go!! eeek)! Good thing is I’m not exactly celebrating my birthday ON my birthday.
Since I’m gonna be really busy with uni (i’ve even got an assignment due the day of my bday), I’ll be celebrating with some friends on friday, then I’ll be celebrating with my sister in may, and then in June i’m going back to Singapore, where I’ll celebrate with my family, and my friends over there :) So for the most part, I’ve got a while to loose the weight. Ultimately, by the time I leave for Singapore, I’d like to be between 110-115lbs. Totally possible I reckon if I keep working out the way I have and eat the way I’ve been eating.
I’ve got about a month and a bit to go before Singapore. 13.4lbs to go before I reach my UGW for Singapore. I hope with all my heart that I can do it. And even if it’s 115 instead of 110lbs, I’ll still be REALLY happy. And keep exercising while I’m there to reach 110lbs :)
sometimes, I hate myself. and I hate men. and not knowing what they are thinking. or why they seem to enjoy manipulating themselves back into my life at an opportune moment for them… most of all, I hate myself for being so forgiving, and letting them back into my life, when I know for a fact that I should leave that Pandora’s box closed.
It makes me sick that by simply allowing someone back into my life I can feel so awful about myself.. I don’t want to feel this way, but although it’s just been a couple of hours, I already feel like the hook has been dug in deep, and its impact is just as bad as the first time round..
