Okay, decided to start a diary today. I already keep (pretty good) track of this stuff myself but thought it might help to have "someone" to be accountable to.
So just to update, I am getting married on the beach in June 2006 and my dress is anything but forgiving. I want (and need) to get my measurements down to 36-27-36 just to fit the dress (Right now they are 39-32-39). My
goal as far as weight goes is around 135 because I know that's what I weighed when I measured 26-25-36. I'm 5'2 and have a muscular build (covered with a layer of
fat) so I'll never be "skinny" by most standards but that's okay with me as long as everything looks good.
I started out in November weighing 168 and am currently 155. Although I definitely have some issues with food,
my biggest problem is I weigh myself several times a day even though I know the readings won't be accurate... it is definitely an obsession (don't tell me to throw it out, cuz I can't!)!
As far as "diet" goes, I'm not following a strict
diet, just trying to choose sensible foods and eat less of everything.
My exercise goals increase each week but this week my
goal are as follows:
- 20 minutes of morning cardio
- weight training 5 days a week
- 10,000 steps a day
All that being said, here's how I've done so far:
SUNDAY- Rest day (12,061 steps taken)
MONDAY- 20 minutes AM
cardio, Combo 1: Back-Chest-Legs 3x15-20 circuit (no rest) Lat Pulldown - Incline Dumbbell Press - Squats (shoulder width apart) (17,286 steps taken)
TUESDAY- 20 minutes AM
cardio (Sore and DID NOT want to get up early this morning, but I did!), Combo 4:
Abs 3x50 circuit (no rest) Seated V-Ups - Ball Crunches (10,263 steps taken)
Starting tomorrow, I will try to post a more detailed entry but this catches me up to now.
BTW- If I'm going to be honest, I must admit that I weighed myself three times today (154.4) and several times yesterday (lowest was 155). I started out on Sunday at 157.6... Okay, take it easy on me
and thanks for reading my journal!
