Okay, anyone reading this (I doubt that there is ONE person) ignore the fact that my last post was over a year ago and believe me when I say that I am really truly hitting the weight loss things serious once again! My goal - 10 lbs in 2 months. My deadline - June 15.
I have been going to the gym now for 3 weeks and started up weights classes. Since I babysit, I can't go every day like I used to, but I am running in the mornings (when it's not pouring rain outside, which happens more often than I'd like) and am committed to doing one or two P90X workouts at home a week.
As I have read back over this blog during the time when I was having consistent success in losing the weight, I found myself completely motivated with feelings of "I can DO this again!" I also remembered the benefits of daily record keeping. So, even though I doubt anyone will be reading this, I am again going to record the highs and lows (hopefully more "highs" than lows); and maintain an exercise and eating journal.
Successes so far:
I look my measurements a few weeks ago and have lost an inch off my thighs and 1/2 inch off my arms (this is obviously where I gain weight first). I was discouraged that nothing came off my midsection which is feeling extremely pathetic as of late. But I have lost ONE pound and even though I thought it would be more because I felt like I starved myself for 5 days, I kind of deserved it because I binged REALLY bad on Easter candy toward the end of that week. I also dropped 1% body fat
So, here are my goals:
- eat 1400 calories or less every day
- weights class twice a week
- running 3-4 times a week
- drink 60 ounces of water every day (at least)
- no sugar (I can't even handle a little taste or I end up binging, so I have to cut ALL of it out!)
- Get down to 18% body fat (or lower :)
Okay, HERE WE GO...
