Well what a summer! And I still have a week! I stopped blogging for awhile I just plateaued and was beyond frustrated. So going back to the beginning of June.
Katelynn got baptized and I saw a picture of me and really I cried. I was just mortified a year of working my butt off and UGH. So depressing.
So Gary's insurance covers weight specialist and I went. I went three times, she showed me different tricks, calories to follow, and lots of test. So I was able to get over my plateau!!!
I have stuck to this all summer!
Workout Wise
M,W, F- Cardio- Treadmill- I have bad knees and running on a treadmill is not good for them. So I walk at a very fast pace, and up the incline! As soon has I get on it within the first 2 mins I am at a 15 incline, and I stay on that for 250 calories which usually takes 11 or 12 min. Then incline 10 and I up my pace a few. And stay on that for 10 mins. Then 8 and again up the pace and then a 5 till I hit 500 calories. I am pouring sweat, but happy I don't have to run!! Then just the normal cool down.
Then Arc Trainer and/or(mattering on my energy :P) Elliptical for 20 -30 mins again mattering on energy!
Then our gym has a ab center a whole bunch of machines in a circle that works different parts of your abs.
T, Th- Free weights! This is actually pretty fun to watch for the fact that we have no idea what we are doing so we usually bring the IPAD or printed sheets that tell us different exercises. The guy do smirk at us as we are searching to find different workout. But all we know off our heads is arms and I need to work way more then just my arms.
Saturday- I have to go by myself so I usually just do the treadmill again. I am not brave enough to do weights alone.
Sunday -REST!!
Eating Wise:
1400 calories and I hate calorie counting but with myfitnesspal app I am doing it. It is getting better and have lost quite a bit of weight since starting to get better with it.
So this summer a few of my hates that are becoming loves
Coke- to diet Coke
Treadmill- I hated the treadmill and now it's my favorite!
Calorie Counting- still not my favorite, but figuring out I have no choice!
I have not started running yet and to be honest I DON'T want to, when I started this summer I set a goal and when I reach I have to start running again to switch things up and well to say the least after last week I am very close! UGH!! I really want to hit this weight BUT don't want to run yet!!
This weeks goal is to hit where I have lost more weight then I need to loose! My weigh in will be Friday and at the end of the month I will also post a picture!
You are awesome! I tried doing an incline at 15 and barely lasted 2 minutes. Seriously, hard! I'm excited for you to be reaching your first landmark goal, weight wise. You are helping to motivate me.
