So sleepy.....

I'm on Day 10? I think of my routine of working out. Day 6 since I joined the gym. I did not go Fri or Sat, but I did go swimming with the kids, so I consider that a workout! And I've gone everyday since Sunday. I like the gym alot & am trying to change things up so I don't get bored. I get there around 6, so I get to watch the news while I'm working out, which I think helps me not pay attention to how long I am going. My energy level is a little down, but once I get going, I'm good. I'm sure its just a matter of time till I'm feeling better physically.

Monday we will be driving up to the mountains to get Nichole from Girl Scout Camp. I'm anxious to enjoy it with the family. Even if its just for the day, we've never really gone up to the mountains to just enjoy it. I am a deprived individual who has never really been camping. Sad, I know.

I joined a Gym!

I have never gone to a traditional gym before, so it is a little intimidating. But I am excited to have the time not only to myself, but to better myself. I can't wait to see results, though I am sure I will be like most and want them instantly, ha ha!

I guess I'll have to start being even more narcissistic than I already am and take some before, during & after pictures, lol. I'm sure that will keep me motivated once I do start seeing change.

Hooray for new beginnings, hard work, and results to come!

Day 3 -- Wednesday

I didn't get my lunch jog in yesterday. Instead I opted to have lunch with my husband. Poor thing had a long, hard day at work. I probably won't get my jog in today either because I believe I may be having lunch with my friend from high school. I did get my bike ride in though. I went 2.48 miles in 15.44 minutes and burned about 200 calories. So at least I wasn't a total blob and didn't do anything, lol.

Today after work I am going to go to the gym, talk to them and most likely get signed up & do my first workout there. I think I finally found determination. Yay! I can't wait to have my body back the way I want it to be :o)

Day 2 -- Tuesday

I have been tracking my calorie intake on http://thedailyplate.com. I find it a little ridiculous though because when I enter my current weight & weight loss goal it tells me I can eat 2000 calories a day & still lose weight. I don't ever eat 2000 calories in a day unless I am REALLY indulging! Anyways on Tuesday I consumed about 1080 calories & burned 351.

I jogged 1.5 miles for my lunch and last night I rode my bike 2.23 miles. I was going to get up this morning and do my Biggest Loser dvd, but I don't want to over exert myself and wear myself out before I even get started, so my goal is to continue with the jogging & riding my bike for the remainder of this week. Build up slowly right?

I have plans to meet up with an old friend from high school this week for lunch and I am greatly looking forward to it! Its been 13 years! Wow, how time flies.

Today I am working on our company Facebook page. Fun, fun! Especially since Facebook has done something stupid and isn't allowing photo uploads. Grrrr! Back to the regular paper pushing for now I guess.

Day 1 -- Monday

Today I started with that determination, focus thing I keep "talking" about, but not doing. I rode the bike 2.2 miles. Took me 15 minutes and I burned 103 calories. Not a huge feat, but a start. I also loaded this nifty little app to my phone that tracks all my workouts, reminds me I need to workout & tracks my progress. Plus while I am working out, it gives me updates. So last night it was telling me how long it was going to take me to do a mile at the pace I was going & it would tell me how far I had gone periodically. All while NOT interupting my music! Awesome! I just need one of those arm band things for my phone so it doesn't get messed up while I exercise.

Today, I am going to walk for my lunch and going to go for my bike ride again tonight. Hopefully the boys will sleep in their room so I can do my workout in the morning also. I have set a goal for myself. Goal 1: Lose 10 lbs by August. Thats about a pound a week. I can do this!!!!
