Well, I definitely did not keep up my blog after getting situated in the new house like I had hoped. Honestly, I haven't even been busy enough to have a good excuse. I have finally started classes back, online, at Ashford University and I love them so far. I'm on my 3rd and 4th class and hope to graduate within a year from now! Only about a year after I should have been done, which isn't so bad considering how much time I took off. I had a job, but lost it and actually don't mind not being there anymore since I hated it, but I'm hoping to find something else REALLY soon because I need the money and hate not working. All of this is completely irrelevant to what I wanted to say, today, though.
My newest plan for my life is to actually get into shape. I have been overweight for at least 2 years now and have done nothing but gain. I am sick of the way that I feel about myself, and I am hoping that if I am writing about my journey on here, maybe I will finally stick to a plan. Maybe I will actually feel accountable to someone other than myself, even if no one is really reading this. I'm not quite sure how I want to do this on here, but my idea is to hopefully give an update on how I've done each week. (It would be really boring if I did it every day I'm sure) Throughout the week, I'm hoping to find articles about weight loss that I can post. If I am going to post it, I should probably read it first and then maybe I'll actually pay attention to what I could be doing better. I've already got a few plans to help me along the way so as I find out what works (and doesn't) for me and hopefully find out why, I hope to write about that as well. I know I have a long way to go so here's to the first day and to my not-so-secret plan anymore!

I'm reading! :) I vowed to get myself in shape as well so Josh and I started working out together. He basically has me doing a lot of exercises that he did in boot camp - squats, butterfly kicks, lunges, sit ups, etc...I only work out for about 45 minutes to an hour, but I do about 15 - 20 minutes of cardio and then I do each excercise one right after the other to keep my heart rate up...sort of like circuit training. The best part is that I can do the exercises at home and don't have to go out to the gym if I don't want to. We haven't been doing it for that long and actually we've been really bad about going this past week, but I'm down a couple pounds and have much more energy. I also notice I'm not as hungry during meal times, so I eat less :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving me your personal experience with this! It helps to hear other people's stories. I have 2 workout videos and like a million magazines and books with possible routines. I just have to find one to stick to. I'm trying to remind myself to take it each day at a time. :)
