Well, here I am! Re-energizing! Getting motivated again! It's day 2!
Today's workout....CARDIO! The killer high intensity 20 minute workout! And yes, I am sweating!!!!
Did 1.05 miles in my 20 minutes....Trying to catch my breath as I write this...but I feel great! Glad it's over though...On to the next day!!!!
WHOOPS...gotta make a slight edit to my chart here....I will alternate upper and lower body so every other week there will be two days that I do either the UBWO or the LBWO....I'll move my free day around accordingly...But it will only occur once each week....
...and as usual, I will leave you with tonight's motivational workout song! LOL I am NOT A FAN OF CHRIS BROWN!!!!! but having said that....this song is awesome to workout to....Keep up with this beat on your elliptical/treadmill....you are likely to pour sweat by the end...
Exactly how I felt after this holiday weekend. UGH! Food Galore!!!! Totally am disgusted at how I felt this morning! Gained 1.8 lbs this week!!!!! So with that said....
OK...Started a new challenge today. I want to end 2012 with a bang!
Several years ago, my husband and I did the Body For Life challenge. It is a 12 week challenge that incorporates healthy eating with an easy to follow workout regimen that will build muscle and burn fat. I lost 25 lbs in 12 weeks the first time I did it.
I am going to PUSH myself for 5 weeks (til the end of the year) so that I can reach a short term goal that I have. The plan is to do all 84 days though.
Day one is complete....Started at 7:28pm and ended at 8:20...Took a little longer because I did a set of abdominal exercises....
Arms after day one....Pumped!
And I shall leave you with one of my favorite songs by my favorite artist........
This song is best enjoyed with a great set of headphones with the bass UP! OMG! PUMPED! (and yes...he did slip at the 1:00 mark....Saw it live!) Can't Stop Won't Stop!
PS....Ced...the day that they add this to the xbox game....I'm getting it!
Well, I was going to change my weigh in day to Friday but Friday is not going to work for me. Why? well I found that since I am off every Thursday and Friday, it made me keep track of my foods and all but then after Friday, all I wanted to do was eat! So I changed back to Monday....I did weigh on Friday as I was supposed to and actually was up 1.4 lbs. But weighed in again today and I had lost those pounds. I actually weighed in the exact same today as I did last Monday. Sooooo having said that, I shall stick with Monday weigh ins for now.
FYI: weight watchers smart ones are on sale at Harris Teeter through the end of the day on Tuesday (tomorrow).....so I printed off a coupon for 3.00 off of 10. Plus they are buy one get one free with one ringing up at 1.49. So I stocked up and I am ready for the week! Gonna make it a great one! Will post after my workout tonight....
Hello everyone! Just checking in. Did well today again with tracking! Ate a meatless Tuesday up until Dinner. Tuesday nights is our Chick FilA night so dinner was chicken strips (9) and small fries (7)....Breakfast was garden veggie omelet (3) and a banana (0), Lunch was leftover veggies from yesterday (7) and I had for snacks....Pear, banana, pomegranate seeds (Yay! glad it's time for them again)...and smarties sweet tart rolls (did you know that two rolls is only 1 point???)
Didn't work out today. Had lots to do tonight...Between preparing meals for tomorrow (I actually cooked ahead) and making Halloween Treats for work tomorrow, didn't make time to get my 20 minute cardio in....Boo! But I DID stick to my tracking so I am happy.
Oh yeah, can't wait to work it out tomorrow! Got a new song!!!
Got back on track today....It's been a while since I worked out. Had that nasty respiratory bug...and every time I moved I felt like I was coughing up my lungs....but no more of that now! Thank heavens....
Food wise, I decided to make this Meatless Monday. Started the day off with a garden veggie omelet (3) and a banana (0). For lunch I had 4 trader joes Bird's nests (8) and 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes (3). And for dinner, I had 1/2 cup of corn (2), 1 cup of Long Grain and wild Rice a Roni (5) and green beans with onions (0). For dessert tonight I had 10 funnel cake fries (5)....So overall in the nutrition department, I did well. Didn't even miss the meat! Enjoyed it so much I am going to do Meatless breakfast and Lunch tomorrow and reserve my meat meal for dinner.
Got my workout on too! Did 20 minute elliptical workout while I watched the final two parts of the Young and the Restless on my ipad....(didn't realize that my ipad sits perfectly on my elliptical display....Ahhhhh) and followed that with upper body weight lifting (my favorite).....Nothing like Trick Daddy (Let's Go) to get you hyped to lift! Yes!
10/29/12
Ended my day with a hot shower.....Man I feel good! Glad to be back....Feels great to be back!
Gonna change my weigh in day to Friday this week and see how that goes!
Until tomorrow....I'll leave you with Trick...
I was first introduced to this song when we had season UNC FB tickets. The team used to warm up to this and they'd get so hyped! I'm sorry...but you can't say that this song doesn't get you in the mood to pump iron!
Hi everyone....just writing to let you know that it has been a long 3 weeks....Don't know what it was but that cough that I had was horrible. Just the slightest bit of exertion caused a coughing spell. So no exercise was done.
Plan is to get back on track tomorrow. Gonna start slow. Armed with everything I need. Hopefully I can get through it without coughing myself to death but I pretty much think that its over.
Well today was a dreaded weigh in. Why? Because I haven't worked out this week like I should have. I have had this persistent cough for the last week that gets worse when I walk briskly, try my elliptical, etc. So no working out.
Instead, I made sure to track EVERYTHING that went into my mouth. Including the numerous cough drops that I had to suck on to keep from coughing my head off.
Well I stepped on my scale this morning and I am down....3 POUNDS!!!! WAHOO!!!!!
I am still having this issue with my respiratory system so I am not sure how much activity I will get in this week. Hopefully I am at the tail end of this. My daughter's lasted 2 weeks....Wednesday will be one week for me but I am hoping mine doesn't last as long as hers did.
Oh and about that project I was working on???? The Lion King Cake??? I completed it and it was awesome, if I should say so myself. See.......................
