Before After

Day 16

So Since I restarted this whole thing I'm down 4.2lbs...for some you might be thinking ummm yeah that's not really a lot in the time it took but for others you are thinking sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet mother of god there is light at the end of the tunnel...and for that I have to say, yes there is light.
 
2lbs of that have been in the last 2 weeks with 1 weeks of HORRIBLE eating (like take out constantly - my mom was in the hospital) and the 2nd week I missed 3 days in a row of working out...sooooo had I of gotten all the days in and ate proper that first week it would have been even better.
 
So today is day 16 and I'll be working out later this evening as I find it's helping me sleep better, which I never thought I would say either....
 
YAY ME!

Week 1, Day 5 today

So I am pretty damn pleased with myself. I'm on Week 1, Day 5 of my 9 weeks prep schedule for TurboFire...I'm happy that I made it over that 2 day hump.
 
I have a FT40 HRM watch that I bought by Polar as I have misplaced my F6 somewhere. It's really cool cause I can keep track of calories burned and how much in this zone or that zone and overall really cool. It keeps a log of all the information on the watch for me for something like 16 weeks total which I won't need as I'm also copying the info over into my own folder so that I can see the difference.
 
I also log my information on another website and my goal is to burn a little more every time I do the same workout again along the way. So if I do Fire 30 and burn 400 calories then I am aiming for 410 the next time as I'm just kind of starting so my intensity isn't where I'd love it to be but that's alright.
 
How's everyone else doing?

Restart on the TurboFire

Ok so the update is I'm up a little bit weight wise so I'm not updating my tracker again until it's LESS than what's there now.
 
Good news is I've worked out 2 days in a row now. For some you might not think that's much, but for me, that's a big deal so hi 5!!!
 
I also got in 4 bottles of water yesterday and I'm going for at least 4 today as well. It's only 4.30pm so I've got some time to get it done.

I started the eat clean

So Im on my way...had my 1/3 cup of quick oats this morning with some fresh strawberries and I have my JUG (this bad boy holds 8 glasses of water) on it's way...good times!!!
 
I go see my trainer tomorrow at 10.30...I'm scared :()  LOL

That was yesterdays weigh in

So despite wanting to do it the same day every week, I haven't stuck to that. I will weigh in tomorrow morning just so that I'm back on track.
 
Good news I feel better today so I'm going to head to the gym when my hubby gets home. I'm also getting together my shopping list for my 'clean eating'. Even to change ONE thing about how I was eating before is PROGRESS and that's what I'm after. I know this is going to take awhile to get the eating habits where they should be, and I'm ok with that. It's one step at a time!
 
Cheers

I went I went...

Ok so I'm a day late but that's ok. I went to the gym Tuesday and did a 5K ... took me almost an hour but I did it...burned almost 400 calories.
 
I'll be there tomorrow (Thursday) and I set up my first appointment back with my personal trainer from the whole wedding makeover and I see her Sunday at 9.30am...one word...OUCH

x2

I've just had an all around SHITE day...no gym either so I just feel 1000x's worse!
 
Tomorrow?!

Guess who didn't go?

Yup so totally didn't go to the gym yesterday...yay for me *mumbling*
 
I'm going today...at some point...for sure...for real...honestly!

And months and months...and months later!

So I step on the scale after almost 2 years, a car accident later, a 6 day a week to 0 time at the gym...to just plain feeling quite pathetic.
 
I just finished eating a Mirage bar...how to get passed this?
 
I reinstated my gym membership on Monday...and today is Friday...and I still haven't gone back...why? What is holding me back from this?
 
I picked up Tosca Reno's "Eat-Clean" Diet books today...why? Because I think of all the diets etc that I have been looking through over the last few months, this is the most NON diet of them all...it's simply a lifestyle change. Out with the crap and in with the fresh.
 
My holdback with this choice? I have a family of 5. A husband and 3 children ages 6 and under...and to have to 'clean out the closet' of all the processed and high sugar and completely unnutritional food is going to be very expensive...convenience does come at a cost and I am NOT implying that my health, and the health of my family, isn't worth this cost factor, it's making the transition over to it. I want to just go big or go home but to do that will cost a bunch up front and I just don't have this funding behind me to do it. Eating healthy and fresh can become just as expensive as fast food processed crap as well.
 
Tomorrow is the day...at least, tomorrow is the day to start back at the gym. I will most likely just be hitting the treadmill for some 5k jow/walk/run but it's a step in the right direction.
 
MOOD: So damn depressed
ENERGY: I don't have any!

15.2 to go!

i can't believe i'm 15.2lbs from GOAL! of course this goal has changed from 120-125 to 145 as i'm doing weight training etc and have put on 20lbs of muscle so far on this 3.5 months adventure!

get my measurements etc done at the gym again in 2 weeks (on july 2nd) so i'm looking forward to that. also take 4 week pics again this sunday...can't wait to do that either...never thought i'd say that!
