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
And exceeded. Not only did i lose the pound the trainer challenged... i lost 4 pounds!! Eating better and pushing myself to go to the gym have paid off. Now if i can keep the same mentality for the rest of the year...
I have been challenged by the trainer... he's for a week and i gotta work out on my own :( he said if i don't lose a pound then my planks are pushed up to a full minute.
So what have i been doing? Practicing my planks! I finally got a full 30seconds even after working out my legs.
Eating right is the easy part. Ok. No its not, but just to lose ONE pound it is easy to do with just eating right. And the weekends are the hardest time to eat right.
At work, i can only eat what i bring. And is easy to bring good stuff. It also helps when the bank account is running low.
This morning scale said I'm down... but i still have 4days before the actual weigh in.
Finally joined a gym! And got myself a cute personal trainer! Modivation is the fact that I've paid money... not going isn't an option.
12 days later and I've lost 5 lbs!! My goal for this month is to lose 5lbs and I'm on my way to beating this goal.
I've been so busy with working out and logging my foods and working and sleeping that i forget to blog. But now that things are looking in the right direction, I'm proud to brag!
Time for my own transformation.... I only have 60lbs to lose, but that's hard for me when I don't have that personal trainer. Full time work with school on the side and no one to push me to work out or hold me accountable for what I eat or how much I work out.
Today is a new day. Today is THE day. I start up this blog and hold myself accountable. There will be rest days and there will be cheat days...but it will never get out of control. I'm sick of being over weight. I will not get over 200 ever again.
I will have to take today as a rest day as I didn't run today, but I did pretty well in the calorie department. My goal is to lose 60lbs and keep it off. It may take me a whole year at 5lbs a month. I have to think about the muscle I'll be gaining too. Clothing wise I dream to be a size 9 pants again.
I have signed up for two 5ks this year and I still wanna do the half marathon again. Bryan is doing the 5k but our training hours have been different. And once school starts back up I'll have to change the schedule...
I'm ready for this change. I will lose this weight!
I started back up...i'm tired of having excess weight & my clothes not fitting right.
After work I did my cardio circuit for 10 minutes. I am so out of shape, I couldn't continue with the second part of my workout. Traffic was so bad today,I decided to park my car and walk the block. It felt good!
Lil D gave me a trail mix bar to hold me over through my workout. I forgot my salad, but I was good and had a salad when I got home. Still a little hungry, but I'll just drink water.
So day one successful.
Weighed in at 176.8 this morning!
