Day 8

Not much to say today, except I ROCKED 3o Day Shred today. Then I did Day 2 of Week 2 on C25K. I got a stitch in my side so I only ran 8 minutes after. I haven't weighed myself yet. I'm going to wait until next week. We are leaving tomorrow night for Louisville and then Friday morning we are driving to WV. I hope I can stick with the program over the Easter weekend. Happy Easter Everyone!

Yeah! I also started the 2nd week of C25K tonight. After 30 minutes of intervals, I ran for 8 minutes straight. Right now I feel really good. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. Oh yeah, I have an interview tomorrow!

Motivation

My main motivation for losing weight is my vacation coming up the last week of June. We are going to Gatlinburg with my brother and his family. Our cabin is awesome this time and I can't wait to go. I want to look nice, so some of this weight has got to go!

This is the view from the hot tub. I think this is the best cabin with the best view we've stayed in yet. A more fit and lighter me will be staying there come June!

Day 2 and 3

See I'm already falling behind! I think I pushed myself a little hard, and yesterday I was just exhausted after going for a long walk with a couple of gals from my mommies group. It was a blast though! We even did a little stroller off-roading! LOL

I went to Target today and got a new scale. I'm not going to use it until next Wed though. Weighing myself everyday is not good for my motivation.

Day 1

Let's just get down to it. I weigh more now than I have ever weighed in my whole life. Pregnancy did not suit me too well, and now I am paying the price. I love my little girl so much, and she is worth every single pound. However, now is the time to change my life before she is a toddler, and I have no energy to chase her around.

As far as diet is concerned, at first I am combining a low carb (not completing eliminating carbs) and a calorie counting system. So far I'm doing okay with low carb (I've already been doing this for a couple of weeks now), and now my carb cravings are history. As far as exercise I'm going twice a week to walk with my mommies group, started a Couch to 5K program using Podrunner intervals, and I tried Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred this morning and it kicked my A%$! If you want to shred an extra 10 pounds before bathing suit season this is the DVD for you! As for me I think I'll try it again and see how I do. I think I need to lose about 20 lbs before I'm able to hang in there with her.

I'm going to utilize this blog as my motivation to stick with this. I thought I was so fat before I got pregnant and now all I want is to be in that weight range again.

So here it goes

Starting Weight: 214 (Down from a high of 248 when I was 9 months pregnant and down from 221 at my 6 week checkup)

Lowest Weight in the last 3 or 4 years: 169 (I felt great at this weight and that's where I want to be)

Mini Goals: April 30 - 10 lbs gone

May 31 - 10 lbs gone

June 30 - 10 lbs gone

Calorie Limit (According to my Loseit program on the Iphone): 1440

Day 1 Calories per meal (I'm not going to be listing individual foods here. There's no way I can stick with that) I'll be listing foods in the Loseit program and posting calories here

Breakfast: 295

Lunch: 443

Dinner: 584

Total: 1322

Exercise: 15 minutes - 30 Day Shred

40 minutes Couch to 5K (C25K) with 5 minutes continuous running at the end of the workout...so proud of myself!
