Day 2 ... Wow, gotta keep it up

So today I got back on the treadmill, and oh its been a minute! My quadriceps are hurting, and all I can think about is how did I let myself get out of my routine. But then I realize im just wasting time looking back, when I could be focusing on getting back better than ever.

Tonight I was able to get a good 2.5 miles in - I know it isnt much, but its a good (re) start ...

So im tired, so see yall tomorrow!

Day 3, but really Day 1 ......

So unlike yesterday I got my butt out of bed and got a workout in. Nothing too fancy, a good 15 minutes on the ellipyical, some lightweight squats, bicep curls and lateral raises and eneded on the rowing machine.  Hopefully I will get something doen this afternoon as well.  My goal is lose 5 punds in 3 weeks, to get my body back going again. 

Hopefully if your reading this, you have also got your workout in! Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to STOP doing something.  Why not just try to START something ... Take baby steps at first if you need to.

After getting to know myself, I know that in order for me to be successful, I need to challenge myself.  So, anytime I miss a day of doing at least 30 minutes of excercise, I am going to start my 40 day challenge over.  Now for some of you, this would mean that you would give up and say "what's the point?".  For others, this is the perfect way to keep you accountable.  Its all about knowing yourself and what your own motivations are.

Keep rolling with the workouts and healthy eating.  Try keeping track of your meals and fitness here.  I have found this site to be very useful.  When you really look at what you have been eating, it just might scare you into doing something about!

On a totally different thought, check out the video below by one of my favorite groups Foreign Exchange ... Some days you just need to Take off The Blues...



Day 2 .... See what had hapened was...

So day 2.... Well lets just say sometimes life gets in the way sometimes, but I have made sure thay I ate right today. Cheerios for breakfast, grilled chicken wrap for lunch, and baked tilapia for dinner. Hopefully tomorrow will be better - but the importance is that I ate right.

Till tomorrow - im out!

40 Days - The Beginning ....

Si I've decided on this new 40 day challenge that I needed to simplify this whole thing, so here's my deal;

40 days straight of AT LEAST 30 minutes of cardiovascular stimulation.

DAY 1:

Yesterday I walked fairly briskly for about 30 minutes, and today I will get another at least 30 minutes on one of the Cardio machines. 


Also I am swearing off Pizza, and will stay under 2,500 calories a day.  You should never eat more than 3,500 calories a day if your trying to lose weight.

I'm also going to decrease my Carbohydrate intake -- mainly breads, pasta and starches.

Also just trying to not let the little things bother me.  Remember that for every hurdle and obstacle you face, God is preparing you for something down the road that you can't see just yet.  Walk by faith !

I'm out for now...
