End of Week 2

I've been so proud of myself for exercising everyday. Usually I get really excited then quit two days later but I've been at it for two whole weeks now! I am feeling a little better so I hope that will push me to continue. My weight and measurements haven't changed that much but more energy is a huge plus. I have been taking the kids to the park and going outside to play with the puppy more. I am seeing small changes that will hopefully lead to big or permanent changes. Here's to good health!

Week 2, Day 4

I'm dying, I really think I'm dying. I went to an adult gymnastics class (which means over 12). I was twice a old, if not more, than everyone there. Ugh! I am ridiculously sore and beat up but did things that I never thought I could. It was great fun and I hope to go back again. It was a great workout too. My food is still off. I seem to be eating way fewer calories than I need but am maxing out my sugar and cholesterol intake. Its a quandary. So moving on. Eating better. Exercising more. Having fun!

Week 2, Day 2

Up, down, up, down. My legs and my weight. I have decided that I LOVE the elliptical machine but my legs are so mad at me! I even did it backwards and wow that gives a burn. I walked on the treadmill for about 2 minutes on Saturday until I ended up having a meeting so that was a bust but six days in a row of work out isn't bad in my opinion. Sunday, the beginning of week two, started with a walk on the local bike trail. It isn't a Pilate's class but it sure is something, and fun for the kids too. My diet is the same. I have been keeping track of my calories, which is eye opening, but I am still going to eat. No starving for me!!! I'm back at 73lbs but am feeling great!

End of week one!

I forgot to write yesterday but it was a successful day. I found a sight to help me track what I eat and my weight loss. I am also starting a book about the whole life: eating well, living right, and loving God. Last night I walked on the treadmill, worked on the eliptical (for the first time), and tried the Total Gym. Go Chuck Norris! I realized just how heavy I am and just how weak I am. I can not lift my own body weight too many times. LOL! My weight yesterday was 71.5 lbs.

This morning I got up WAY TOO EARLY and went to a pilates class. I actually really enjoyed it! I step an hour stretching, doing and ab work out and relaxing. And for my effort I gained a pound back. 72.5 lbs...its all muscle. :)

We'll see what tomorrow brings. Later.

Nov. 4, healthy living log

Today I ate ok until dinner. Who knews eggs and sausage were so bad for you?! :) I went back to the gym and walked off 100 calories. According to the scale a lost 1 pound! Somehow I don't believe that. We'll see what it says tomorrow. I went on a sight to help me keep track of my calories eaten vs. calories burned. Quite an eye opener! Good luck in your ventures and I'll update tomorrow. Bye!
