MY EXERCISE DIARY

04 February 2009

exercise and vitamins

Ok - so I've been taking a multi-vitamin for one of the first times in my adult life for a few weeks now, and this past week I've also introduced the following as well:

1000 mg Fish Oil (w/Vitamin E)
1000 mg Vitamin D
500 mg Vitamin C

these three are takin at breakfast with the Multivitamin.

Then between lunch and dinner, around 3 or so, I'm taking
L-Carnatine 500 mg with 10 mg Vitamin B6

not to mention, of course, my prescribed Metformin at 2000 mg/day (2 500 mg at lunch and 2 at dinner)

ANYWAYS...my multivitamin has the following in it:

SO ANYWAYS...
I took all my vitamins this morning BEFORE eating and this happened like the second day I was taking JUST the multivitamin, but because I hadn't eaten yet - it only took a few minutes and yeah...it came right back up! ugh. :(

so I had to call in late to work and I let my stomach settle down a bit before I could eat half of my breakfast (as Petey, our pug, ate the other half when i wasn't watching! lol.)...

but yeah. so that's my vitamin post for the day. I LIKE the fact that I'm taking vitamins, but I have to learn how/when to take them.

EXERCISE

Ok - so exercise...I normally love exercise, when I'm doing it - but man, it takes me a LOT to get motivated to actually get my ass TO the gym at night. :(

I haven't gone in over a week and looking at my exercise blog for the year so far, it's been 1 month and 4 days into the year and I've only exercised 11 days out of 34 so far.

SO. I am challenging myself in February to try and hit at LEAST 12 days of exercise this month.
And consiering February is only 28 days and we're already in 4 days...that's only 24 days left in the month - so that's every other day of exercise. I CAN do it.

a'ight - i need to get to work.

LATERZ!!
