Lose it!

A friend from HS has lost over 120# by doing keto. And with my sister's wedding in 15 months, I use this as motivation to do as well. I have 90# to lose but that's a lot!! With 69 weeks it breaks down to only 1.5# per week. Nice, slow & steady. 

I got the Lose it! app that the dr's talk about. I liked my fitness pal, but we'll see how this one goes.

It's been a while...

Since I last posted

Starting the new year right. Eating well and counting my steps.  We get a new dog on saturday who needs to keep calm,  but can go for walks. So, the plan is to walk a minimum of a mile a day to get his wiggles out. ESPECIALLY  Sadie. Today I've already put in 1.25 miles just working

Never quit planning

Well today I spent a LOT of time making a schedule for the rest of the year.  As we found out, I'm completely out of shape.  7 mins on elliptical & treadmill is not great.  I looked up a bunch of beginner workouts. I combined 2 different ones that was pretty good at whole body cardio. There are definitely more things I could do,  but I want to start off slowly and work my way up. I don't want to push too hard that I give up easier.

I started with just cardio so I can burn off some fat first.  I mean, it's only 10 weeks! I can start to add weight training once I'm in the swing of things. They say habits are created after 3 weeks - then I'll be completely ready come new year.

I also made a schedule for when I should be having snacks.  I just need to go shopping now.

I know I can do it. I've done it before. 

I can and I will!!

Day 1

Man, I'm more outta shape than I thought.  Mom & I started working out.

Elliptical- 5 mins
Treadmill- 5 mins, incline 2, 3.5 speed
5 squats
5 fast step up -each leg

I'm winded. It felt great.  I wanted to stop, but I needed to push. This is only day 1. At least I'm finally starting.

Back at it again

Don't stop believing

So, I let myself go.  Moving to oregon was wonderful,  however,  just trying to make things work took a lot of my time. We did have a gym in the complex,  but unpacking took a lot of our time. Then the jobs. I stopped caring. 3 years later, I regret it huge!

 Mom just moved into a new complex that has a gym right across the parking lot.  SUPER close.  & with my new job,  I have a lot more energy after work.  I promised mom I would come over a few days and we would work out together.  We decided after she was settled in, which will start next monday! Hubby & I are going to start walking just to warm up.  We've been taking the dogs to this park they love. I usually do a couple laps of walking,  so that's a good start!

I feel that just writing this blog will help keep me accountable more. Even if no one reads it.  Lol

Bye Felicia

Today was the last day with personal training. And I'm so glad to be done with him. The workouts were ok. I definitely feel it the next day. But when ask was said and done, i said goodbye and thanked him... he says nothing. You're welcome. Maybe.  But no good luck. No keep it up. No you can do this. Nothing. Not even a question about how i feel. Our even if I'm able to do this on my own. Aaaaahhhhh. So glad that's over!

Tomorrow i start the 21day fix. It's only 30 mins a day,  but it's everyday!  That's a huge commitment! There may be some days i double up on workouts, but we'll see.
I'm confident in the meal plan. It's not much different than what I've been doing. This just insures I'm portioning correctly.
9 days in i start the shake as a substitute. And the best part of this program is it helps teach you how to count if you're eating out at a restaurant. Or how to count if you're drinking alcohol. It'll be easier to just not drink!

Hubby is doing it with me so we'll see how that goes. It'll help motivate me but i don't know how to motivate him.
