So, I've been at this working out thing for almost a month. As of yesterday, I still am +2 lbs. Everyone keeps telling me not to go by my weight, and I understand that....except, I want to loose weight. I feel like I have a pretty good routine in the fitness center at the Y. I am doing a lot of strength training, so now I need to incorporate cardio. My goal is to run at least 1 mile each day I am at the gym. I'm a slow runner, but maybe I can work myself up.
I went to kickboxing yesterday and my torso and arms are very sore. OK, my legs are sore too. The class was pretty good, except for the yoga at the end. I don't know why she did that...it's kickboxing. If I wanted yoga I would go to the next class. I think I'll try it again next week.
Last night, I watch portions of The Biggest Loser. It is an inspiring show that is making a difference in people's lives. Although I have ZERO motivation to ever run a marathon, or a half marathon...I would like to do a triathalon. They showed some former BL contestant doing both. I would like my husband to do it with me, but I think he thinks it would be boring or he doesn't need to train or work for it. Maybe he'll sign up with me anyway.
So far, I have not reached my December goal, so I guess I need to modify them. My goal is to loose 5 lbs by the end of January (ok, now it's 7 because I gained 2). Then, 5 more by the end of February, 5 more by the end of March, and the last 5 by the end of April. If I can stop eating cookies...this may be accomplished. Lots of hard work ahead for me.
