Now that we do not have money to go back and forth to the gym everyday, I decided it was time to break out the good ole Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred dvd. Today was day one...and it sucked. I was tired by the end of the warm-ups. I made it through the first circuit in the first workout and then I had to stop. So I made it through half of work out one. I definitely do not have much for strength at all, which is probably why this system is killing me. 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, 1 minute abs, then repeat. That's the workout. Don't get me wrong, it does the job really really well. I just have to limit myself as I'm getting back into it again. Last time I started this dvd, I couldn't walk for a good day because my leg muscles were just too weak. I laid on the couch for a good 4 hours that day until Kyle came home from work and rescued me. So this time around I will be taking it slowly. It's now a good 13 hours after I did the work out and I'm still feeling like jello. My legs ache as I walk or go up and down steps, and my arms and chest just feel heavy and wobbly. But doing this exercise and keeping a food diary will hopefully keep me in line to losing this weight. I initially only had 20 pounds to lose because I had already lost 20 pounds....but I've since gained back 13-14 of those 20 pounds. So I have 33.5 pounds to lose. I'm not going to give myself any deadline on when it needs to be done, just because that's too much pressure for me. I am making long term and short term goals to get this weight off once and for all.
Long Term Goals:
#1: Lose 13.5 pounds (that I have gained back from the last weight loss) by July 31st.
#2: Lose 10 pounds between August 1st and October 31st.
#3: Loss 10 pounds (the last of it) between November 1st and December 31st.
Short term goals:
#1: lose 3.5 pounds by May 31st.
#2: lose 5 pounds between June 1st and June 30th.
#3: lose 5 pounds between July 1st and July 31st.
I am going to add these goals to every post and give updates on the current goal. After a goal is completed, I will cross it off and start on the next goal. I will keep the dates the same just for consistency. As the short term goals are reached, I will update with current short term goals. I'm also adding my stats to the bottom just to show my readers how I'm doing.
