The Unbearable Lightness of Being

After 1 hour of bike my legs are shaking :)

It surprises me how persistent and tenacious I'm being. Even though I have not taken vacations and I'm physically and mentally exhausted, I keep going. Last night I  was lying on the bed, sore from cramping because period and falling asleep, then I left the bed and I did 40 minutes workout. I did the "leg burner" training then bum exercises using the ankle weights. Today my legs don't hurt like they hurted last week, it's a win.

It was another busy day at work. My coworker, who is supposed to help me this week with quotes, again left earlier leaving me alone. On Friday he will do the same, he will leaves the office at 1 pm. to do personal things. Thanks for not helping I guess. Before the administrative guy go on vacations I asked him if there is any of his tasks that I need to finish, he said there is nothing that I need to do because sales manager was going to do it. Today sales manager and me were making a list with the tools we need to buy this week. I asked him if he knows how to do the purchase order to send to the factory... he doesn't know. He has no idea how to do the tasks that my other coworker does, but can you guess who already know how to do it? 
Yes... I got another task to do. 

Today I finally could make utorrent works with my VPN. I'm catching up with Game of Thrones. A couple of years ago when I used to download series, my conection was so bad that I got bored trying to download something. Now, although I'm using a VPN which  makes my conection slower, i can download a whole season while I'm working. I think I'll download Silicon Valley season 2 after GOT, and maybe It's always sunny in Philadelphia. 

I hope you guys had a good day. Half week gone, weekend is almost there! :D

I was going to be lazy again. I did not exercise for 1 month... but I can't let st_martin_a down!  He's always encouranging me to do at least 15 minutes workout, so I did. I started with 10 minutes bike to get warn then I chose this session:


I was able to do all the rounds  After this I did abs and bum, then I stretched a little. There is something weird with my back and neck, like a huge muscle tension which doesn't let me move freely. 

Btw, I used my new ankle weights, I like them. 

 I found in Samsung Store an app to track my activity which is very very complete, I love it! It's called Samsung Health and it tracks better than Google Fit the step I walk. There I can track my sleep hours, eating, workouts, the cup of coffee I drink, the glass of water, etc. You can also set goals and join training programs. Everything for free .
It shows where I walk, distance, calories burned, longest activity time, speed, and other info. If you want you can add images and notes to the walking entry.

I'm very interested in the option to track my eating. I know it is bad although I do not eat junk food. I can search every food, snack, drink I have in the list and also choose in the different varieties of any item. It will count the calories and nutrient it has and track it. My nutrient balance is very bad by the way. It recomend for my profile 1700 Cal so let's see if this changes when it tracks all my activity. 

About my sleep I set a goal of 7:30 hours that I know I won't get for now because there is so much I want to study, learn and to do. 

Yesterday after work I had some things to do so I walked more than usual and I did 15k steps or more because I installed the app after left work, which means it could not track the steps I did at morning. I came back home after 9 p.m., ate pizza and went to bed to waste my time on instagram. I wanted to work but i felt very tired because walking so much.

There are my records from yesterday:



I felt asleep by 3 am and woke up this morning at 10.30 hours. I had to go so I compared my walking in both applications and this is what they say: Google Fit shows I did 7165 steps and walked 5.09km, Samsung Health shows I did 9108 steps and walked 6.85 km. I already knew that Google fit miss steps because I checked it counting by myself the steps I do in a block and comparing it with the appl. I checked if Samsung app miss steps and it doesn't miss, maybe few steps until the app detect that I started to walk but it is not a big difference. 

I joined a circuit training called Muscle Endurance Building, for 3 days in a week with a duration of 14 min daily. The application shows how to do the exercises with a video. I like it.

So far I am very pleased with this application and all its fuctions and rewards system is a good motivation to keep you in movement.

Saturday we had a training at work about the torc machines we sell. This made me moody because the instructor is the guy who smell bad because is lack of hygiene so we had to keep the door of the room open and it still smelt as hell. Of course he did a lot of bad jokes as usual and made the lesson longer than it should be. He took more time to explain about what a screw is, how does the force work with physical formulas, what kind of material and types of screw exist, and when he had to talk about the machines we sell he almost explained nothing 

For people who is not a technical, like me and other coworkers, we learn nothing so I will start reading all the documents I have about the machines and how they work to can give information to customers if there is not a seller to do it.

There is another training that sales manager wants I take, about maintenance of the machines and spare parts.... he also sent a list of a lot of task he wants I do and those tasks are about marketing, SEO and design. Pretty sure this week I will ask for pay rise because what I do is not just "administrative tasks" anymore.

When I was coming back home I looked at shop windows when I saw some shoes with square heels. Weather is not so hot yet for those shoes and I was not thinking about buy something at all, but I can't help. This is so hard for me to get comfortable high heels shoes that I enter to the store and bought 2 pair of shoes. I got 20% discount because I paid by cash   

I cleaned the house and cooked the zucchini souffle or whatever you want to call it. I was still moody and about to do nothing else but I fought moodiness doing 1 hour bike and studying programming. I solved an exercise in a different way that the instructor did, it was interesting. I did some SEO tasks on a website then I went to bed and checked IG until fall asleep.

I woke up 6 am and I felt asleep again. I woke up again at 10 am but I felt asleep one more time and I had a dream about Michael. This woke me up and I didn't want sleep more although I felt sleepy, weak and tired. I was still moody, more than yesterday because the dream I had, and I felt like doing anything at all. 

Anyway I forced myself to do 1 hour workout then I ate fruits and cereals. I took a shower, I did my beauty rutine and I updated a website. 
After dinner I did 30 min bike (well, I'm doing while I write this).

This is my progress this week

 After almost 10 days being lazy I started to do workout again. I missed it. I was doing very well: 1 hour exercises 3 times at week, 1 hour stationary bike 3 to 4 times at week. 
Latelly I'm sleeping very bad, I wake up many times at night... 4am, 5am, 6am... I think this is because I'm very stressed, too many problems at work... I wonder if doing exercises will help me to sleep better 

 I used the mini bike while I studied web programming. They are the status:

Time: 42 minutes
Distance: 0.544 km
Count: 2864
Calories: 218

and while I was doing another useful thing! I think I'll love this bike. 

 I woke up at 6 a.m. to do workout!!! and it feels sooooo good! Seems I had more energy than at night although I didn't eat nothing before the exercises. It's cold today but after the first exercise I was sweating, something that hardly ever happens to me.
I took a shower then I had fruits, cereals, yogurth and toast for breakfast. I also had time to use make up before get ready for work 

 I came home from work, had lunch then I went to the park for a walk. I walked for 1 hour then I did streatching. Finally I did 10k steps in one day!
I realized that Google Fit app is very bad to count steps, so I'll start tracking it manually. Now I'll lay a bit or maybe take a nap 

btw... even walking fast my heart is very quiet. That's really good for training 

Oh tired as fuck! but I did workout. I installed an app to track the steps I do and other activity. I don't walk so much because I work sitting 9 hours per day but anyway I do 3k steps just going and coming to take the bus. I should go for a walk on my lunch time but I don't like the city where I work. 
In 4 days it says I walked 5.25km, 9k steps, burned 6k calories and doing activity for 2.30 hours just going to work and doing my workout 2 days.
My weight is 134lbs and I don't think I should lose more weight. This week I'm a little quiet because period pains.

I want finish to write my memories from vacations before weekend. I have to do few things more in the website and try to study English. I still have to sell a lot of products, make more decks of Magic Cards, read my book, finish my course of HTML/CSS to improve my skills and I also started 2 more courses: "e-commerce" and "ERP"

I had a serious conversation with Mike. He's trying to change some things and starting to work for get his goals. I'll help him since I'm the only person to who he tell his things. I know how hard it will be to him but I know he can get whatever he wants. I love the team we do 
So far we started to go to bed early to fix our sleeping and I try he don't take naps.
