Fitness Update...

Thursday, September 6, 2012

I am overwhelmed by the amount of support and beautiful comments from my wonderful blogger friends on my previous post about my journey to a healthy me. Thank you all so much, I love you gals! It's been about three weeks now that I have been using the Diet Diary app and have been keeping up with it every day. The calorie count on each food item may not be exact, but it helps me see what I'm eating as well as how much I'm exercising. I am happy to say that I have finally reached the three week mark of sticking with my workout routine! Usually I would go for two weeks, stop for a week, and so on. But with the help of my workout buddies group on facebook, my food journal, and all of the love and support from family and friends I am sticking with it.

My friends have been telling me about Jillian Michaels workout videos and I have decided to give one of them a try. At first I was a little worried that she would be a little intimidating and scary, like how she is on The Biggest Loser. But she's inspiring, motivating, and makes the workout fun...yes fun! I can't believe I tried her kickboxing video first before trying something that may have been a bit easier. I may not get all of the moves exactly right or do them as fast as she does, but that takes time. When I started out three weeks ago I was about 208-210 and now I'm 204! Besides exercising every day I have also cut out the late night snacking, which I think the food journal is a big help with. I have also started to eat more fruits and veggies and even watch what I eat when I go to parties and such.

Oh and I can't believe I fit into a pair of skinny jeans!! I can't thank you all enough for all of your love and support!!


Love this:

  8. Way to go!! You look great! I'm pretty at the same point in my life that you are. I'm just a little below my heaviest again after regaining what I lost last year. I'm on a mission to get below 200 before I turn 30 in February. EEK! I created a FB group to help with support and motivation and I also blog about it each Friday. I look forward to seeing your updates!! :)

  9. Congratulations! You look great.

    I can relate to what you say here, because I had finally gotten back into regular exercise when I dislocated my shoulder, and between recovery, treatment and PT I have been benched for over two months! And now I am really struggling with getting back on track.

    Your post inspired me, thank you!

  11. You won't get all the moves right the first time. The important thing is that you are moving and any movement burns calories. As time goes on, you will be able to copy the moves better so you also tone up the muscle groups that are targeted with each move.
