So, after almost 2 years of gaining weight and failing to maintain a consistent diet and workout plan, I am officially tracking everything on my first blog!
Last night, my 3 girlfriends and I decided to start training for the Chicago Rock-and-Roll 1/2 marathon. It will be my 2nd half-marathon and my friends' first. We all seem to be struggling to find support for our fitness and weight-loss goals so we are going to be each other's support. We all have boyfriends and/or fiances that "love us the way we are", but that is just not enough these days. We know that we need to love ourselves first. No guy in the world can make you happy if you are not happy with yourself. So, in an effort to feel good and lose and maintain a healthy and fit weight we are going to start a log of our workouts and report to each other with our progress.
Starting Weight: 151 lbs (my lifetime highest weight)
Weight Loss Goal: 20 lbs
Ideal Weight: 131lbs
So, this morning, on Day 1, Week 1: STRENGTHENING
2 x 10 bulgarian squats (bar + 5 lbs)
2 x 15 side lunges
2 x 8 back extensions
2 x 15 ball crunches
10 min cardio on treadmill
My new idea is to use the camera on my phone to take a photo of everything I eat... because I've found that I can lie to myself about the size of my portion if I just write it down. Best of luck to you! I refuse to get on a scale... it's just too depressing!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! I agree, its hard to eat the right portion size. I am forcing myself to weigh myself because that is when I realize that I have never been heavier, and 10 pairs of my nice jeans/dress pants dont fit. I mean, they dont even go up past my thighs...sad =(
