New workout schedule, and Thanksgiving fallout

Luna said:

Allrighty. I started yesterday using the treadmill at the Y, and today my
weight machine workout should be divided into upper and lower body so I can
use them every day. So, today begins 20 minutes of treadmill, then weight
machines, then stretching as an every day, or at least 5 days a week,
routine. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how fast I should go on the
treadmill so that I'll burn calories but not get all dizzy and too weak to
do the weights, but I'll figure it out.

I did eat lots of carbs, and lots of food in general, at Thanksgiving, and
well, it wasn't worth it. Indigestion, gas, bloating, and trouble sleeping
all for food I don't even like all that much. Now, if they'd had green bean
casserole or macaroni and cheese . . . maybe then it would have been worth
it. The only thing I don't regret eating is a piece of my Aunt's coconut
cake, because that is my favorite dessert ever, and coming from someone who
almost never eats non-chocolate desserts, that is high praise indeed.

Getting back to low-carb was actually a relief. My body feels so much
better.

Coconut cake is yum. I'd been fantasizing about them a week ago and having no
easy access to coconut cake unless I roll up my sleeves and start baking one, I
ended up making green thai curry chicken with coconut milk in it. Then because
I put too much chilies in there and too much coconut milk in there, I ended up
having very bad indigestion. So bad that I suffered very bad stomach ache this
morning and ended up sleeping at my desk at work. And I'm the kind of daft
people, so daft that I'd tell all my bosses - oh yes, I really mean ALL of them,
not just one, but ALL - that I slept at my desk and I did. Luckily I haven't
got my bottom kicked. It's a miracle I haven't got fired yet. I've got better
since midday and now I still have 3 chicken legs swimming in that green thai
curry sauce and I have no idea what I'm going to do with them. After this
morning I have no desire to eat them.

I think I'll eat broccoli tonight, nothing else.

Do the weights first and then have at the dreadmill with a vengence. That's
what I have to do. If I do cardio first I'm sweating so much that doing
weights would have be leaving everything in the gym all sweaty. Also, doing
cardio after helps remove lactate acid from the muscle, so it will help
prevent soreness.
