The good news... I have been to the gym twice and am planning on going this evening!! I think I am actually getting into a routine which is good. I am feeling very productive today, I have gotten a lot accomplished and am feeling really good about it :) Tonight is the longer dance class and I am sure I will be exhausted!! But for the last two classes I have attended, I did a mile walk on the treadmill first... in hope of loosening my legs before doing such a cardio class. Tomorrow, I am thinking about walking the dog and then doing a yoga class. Haven't tried yoga, but have heard it is really great....so we will see. I also would like to try out my new just dance and zumba on the wii. Food wise-have been doing ok. Not eating super healthy but not eating as much sweets and such. Drinking lots of water but it is really making me have to pee more...lame!!! Anyways wanted to post my success so far!!! :) yah to getting in shape!

Getting to it...

So... just got home and well the house needs a major makeover. Really going to try and fix that this week. Haven't really been working out...lame it's the beginning of the year. But i do have a goal. I am going to try and lose 10lbs by april 6. that gives me a little under 3 months. I think it's possible...it's like 3 ish lbs a month. I think by walking 3x a week and going to the gym I should be able to do it. Plus watching what I eat. Missing being home...but just the way it is. Tomorrow is a walk and maybe cardio throwdown. we will see... but now to find healthy recipes.

ok seriously

I have to start using this blog and actually start changing my life. As i sit here and downed a bag of cheetos and coffee... and plan to take a nap later. Blah !! Gotta get out of this cycle. For christmas I got a bike :) Yah but seriously have to start using it. My gym membership went up to 42 dollars a month! So I figure one session is 5 bucks. So I need to go atleast 9 times to make up for it. I got lots of workout stuff for christmas and I really do want to make working out part of my everyday life. I need to find something that i enjoy. Not to mention, I would really like to lose 10 pounds by September. I am going to start rationing our food for dinner, I know that sounds harsh but it helped a friend and her husband lose weight. So by portioning food we aren't eating as much and I want to have heathy snacks around the house. I think I am going to make a schedule! SO if it's a day like today-pouring down rain... I go to the gym and walk on the treadmill for an hour. Or attend a pilates class, I have to get better about going!! or play zumba on the wii. As long as I get my heart rate up for atleast a half hour everyday!!

For the new year, I plan to use this blog to track weekly meals and workouts-as well as start one of those glamour body programs. I have done it in the past but i plan to stick to it this year!! Ok so for the next 4 days... I need to decide what it is i will do for the new year.

I am tired... and that is seriously how I have felt lately!! I don't know what to do but I keep eating lots and sleeping more...lame!!! I wish dt fell on another night other than tues and friday it's just so hard to make both of those times!! M and I walked 7 mi yesterday and today my back is killing me... Funny I know because my legs are fine. He wants to walk again today and although we should... I really don't have the energy to do so. I hope the c workers stop soon....they are driving me nuts. I would love to nap but they make it imp. M and I are going to try and eat healthier this week. Hopefully we can do it! Friday we are celebrating tgiving with friends so we need to workout lots before then!! Here is for getting more energy! ! :)

ive hit a road block

so definitely haven't worked out in awhile, nor I have i wedding planned.... Need to start working on both!! Went on a walk with Ty today after saying I was going to go all week! FELT GREAT!! I really would like to do it everyday, so I will try. M and I started a walking home for xmas!! where we need to do 2 miles each day to make it... hopefully we can :) we are a little behind already. I need to do a better job of writing down my feelings of why i don't want to workout. Thursday, I have a possible kickball game, but may not be able to make it because of another meeting!! Welp, off till tomorrow :)

first workout

Ok so the one year is coming up on Thursday and I wanted to get a head start on the workout plan. So I weighed myself and it looks like 152. Not as bad as I thought. Now my plan isn't to lose a ton of weight yet to get in shape. I went to dance trance tonight for an hour and half and it was fantastic. Lots of new songs but sweated alot and really had a great time :) Will definitely go next week. Tomorrow-hopefully I can hit zumba! and Thursday piloxing-it's a new class so why not try it. That way I will be ready for kick ball and have the day off friday! I need to drink more fluid especially water! Now for the post workout drink and a book!! Feeling excited :)

So... the Knot has given me some great tips on how to get in shape for the wedding. Thursday will be a year away and I think its best I just start a routine. Below is for the first week, which I will start today.

Do 20 minutes of aerobic activity (walking, jogging, running, elliptical) at least 3 times this week.

Note: This month, you should mainly be focused on just getting active and engaged in the program. A good way to get motivated is to start a workout diary. Write down the date, all the reasons why you need to work out, and what your goals are. Write down your weight (always weigh yourself in the morning for consistency), and use a measuring tape to record the size of your chest, waist, hips, thighs, and forearms, so you can monitor your progress. To stay motivated, keep notes all the way through.

Tip: Weigh in and take measurements once a month only. Focusing on quick results will only discourage you.

Ps. This is my workout diary... so if you are following me and are bored... Just don't read it! This is for me! Need to use my Y membership more!! Definitely need to attend dance trance if possible every week.
