Realized today that I am 12lbs heavier then the period when my husband says I looked my best. I also felt my best at that point. Twelve pounds. I want to beg my body to magically drop 12 pounds. Actually 12.2 to be more clear lol. I weigh 136.2 and at my happiest with my body, and my husband’s happiest with my body, I weighed 124. Please don’t get me wrong, he’s FINE with where I am right now. I get no pressure in that area from him at all.
But now I am putting the pressure on MYSELF. 12.2lbs is not a lot of weight to lose. I don’t want to put a timeframe on it. I am just going to say ASAP. The sooner the better. I want to say the end of November, but I don’t want to get discouraged either.
Now, for the plan… every trip needs a road map, right? Sooo… for diet I have been eating between 1,100 and 1,400 and I like that range. Gives me play room, but also keeps me good to go. Water… I know the standard is ½ your body weight in oz minimum. I tend to drink more then that. I carry a 32oz water jug with me everywhere, and I will continue to do that. I will fill it up 3x a day. So that is 96oz. Not too shabby.
Now… exercise… who knows the most in the world about weight loss? And quick weight loss at that? Duh, my mentor/idol/role model… Jillian Michaels. You really can’t beat Jillian when it comes to weight loss. I have her entire DVD library… and I LOVE them. I do tend to like more weights then she does. She is very big on circuit training, which I know burns fat fast. So, I am going to incorporate some weight DVDs with some Jillian 20min DVDs. And, yes, I am starting the schedule on a Wednesday, because tomorrow is Wednesday, and I don’t like waiting.
Wednesday: Shape Up Frontside, Tamilee Webb “I Want That Body” arms level 1 and 2
Thursday: Shape Up Backside, Firm Lower Body workout
Friday: Cardio Kickbox, Ab Jam
Saturday: Shape Up Frontside, Tamilee Webb “I Want That Body” arms level 1 and 2
Sunday: Active rest
Monday: Shape Up Backside, Firm Lower Body Workout
Tuesday: Cardio Kickbox, Ab Jam
I am going to do this for 2 weeks. Then I will take out Shape Up DVD set and replace with Maxamize Backside and Frontside to shake it up.
Jillian, I am doing what you said, I’m going to trust you and the process.
Sooo… I realize I haven’t been taking this blog very seriously, so I am starting it over. When I get home (and can log onto Blogger), I am deleting all previous entries. I want this to really be about my feelings, struggles, and of course, when I do well.
