Ok, so I told y’all I was going to update the blog with this whole new healthy living thing and that is what I am doing. I’m surprised I actually did it!
So I have done great, nothing but water and two cups of coffee in the morning which I use raw sugar in. Yay! I could be drinking more water but I don’t want to push it. I think I consume most of it while working out.
I have been watching portions like a crazy woman. I even ate a normal size portion of mac & cheese! I am so proud!! Seriously. I had Pizza Hut on Sunday and had one piece. I made a huge salad to go with it to help fill me up. It worked.
I have ate breakfast every single day. Either Kashi Go Lean Crunch or a multi grain waffle with strawberry cream cheese. Hmmm..I have ate lot’s of tuna salad sandwich’s. I mix a bit of Ranch and Emeril’s Bam hamburger seasoning and it’s SOOOOO good. {that seasoning is good on lot’s of stuff}
Hmmm..I have worked out every day but Sunday. I hit up the elliptical all days but Saturday and I decided to do Just Dance on the Wii with Zack and the girls. I had a major sweat going in about 20 minutes time. Not sure how many calories I burned but the point is I had my heart rate up.
Thursday – 379 calories {30 minutes}
Friday – 378 calories {30 minutes}
Monday – 475 calories {38 minutes}
Tuesday – 479 calories {40 minutes}
Wednesday – 500 calories {45 minutes}
When I am working out I love watching TBS. The reason is I work out at 3:30 in the afternoon, after I go and get Kayla from school. Thing is, is that all my favorite fun shows are on.
I did feel guilty on Wednesday. It was a little girls birthday in our class and I caved and had a cupcake. OH-MY! It was pure bliss. I literally inhaled it. The scent alone, I know I gained 1/2 a pound from. Seriously. However, I vowed to make at least 500 calories on the elliptical to make up for it. Which I did. I just bumped up the resistance to 7 and then 8 after the pre-programmed workout was over. Wow, the calories really fly when you up the resistance. I like it!
But…..there is a down fall here. I am VERY competitive. I want to make sure that I top my day before calorie burn. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but I am worried I won’t be able to keep up the 400’s and 500 calorie burn. It’s a lot of work!
Since I started all of this last Monday {the 3rd} I have lost 2.4 pounds. Not that I am working for weight loss, but I am NOT going to complain about weight loss. I just have a goal for a healthier me and I know that I’m overweight so losing weight is a plus! It’s just not gonna melt off quickly like it did when I was a part of the Spring Fitness Challenge because I’m basically not working out twice a day and eating minimally. Which isn’t a healthy thing to do.
