And as I have told ya'll before, Mitchell and I started a competition to see who can change their weight the most by Spring Break. That was weeks, and weeks, and weeks ago. Yet, still, for me, nothing. I did lose about 5 lbs... but it feels like I've already gained that back!!
I have really just not been very motivated lately.
This is how our set up "deadline" has approached so quickly.
With our weigh-in in 23 days, I need you to keep me accountable. By posting my measurements/weight/food choices etc for the World Wide Web to see, I hope I can find that "kick in the butt" I need to beat Mitchell on March 9th!!
Here are my current stats:
Height: 5’6"
Highest weight: 149 - December 2011
Current weight: approximately 147

So, what's the plan?
Nutrition
1200-1550 calories
135-252 carbs
27-60 fat
60-136 protein
High days, obviously, will happen. But I plan to limit these (2 or less a week!).
I am going to track all intake on Spark People, a free website that has everything you need to track, measure, and reach your goals!! Then report back right here.
Cardio
Lately, I haven't been as into it as I used to. Without a usual routine, I feel like I am starting from scratch in a sense. I used to adore running, but lately walking has seemed more natural and appeasing to me! I really like the treadmill at a 4 mph pace and changing the incline frequently (with the latest episode of Army Wives streaming from Netflix ;) So I am going to do whatever I can talk myself into 6 days a week for at least 45 minutes! I may even get back into some group classes- they have always been fun for me and try breaking it up, some am and some pm depending on my schedule!
Strength Training
I try to lift 4x/week and right now I am following workouts Mitchell created for me. I haven't been able to get excited about the usual Day 1, chest and "tris" - Day 2, back and bis- Day 3, legs and cardio- blah blah blah... so M made quicker routines where I do light work on each area everyday yet still get complete workouts in a week. I'll share these later if ya'll are interested!
I plan to keep constantly reading different blogs, like two of my favorites:
Can You Stay for Dinner?
Fitting Back In
These pretty ladies keep me motivated to keep working toward my goals!!
Thanks for trudging through this. I'll be back with silly stories and cheesy quotes soon-
