I haven't blogged about it yet, but for about a month now I've been "working on" my goal to return to pre-pregnancy weight by the end of July (#2). That means losing about 8-10 pounds, and that is hard hard hard for me to do. It just is, I don't know why. I could work out every day, which I hate doing, and still not really lose anything. I don't have much of a Plan (which is why "working on" above is in quotes). I'm just watching the amount I eat and trying to exercise (walk) regularly. I'm part of a stroller class that meets three days a week to walk for 30 min and do exercises for 30 minutes. I try to do those same exercises at home on the off days. My trouble spots are my arms and my stomach (since I just had a baby), so I'm trying to focus on those areas. And I'm keeping track of my exercise in my daily planner. I'm happy to say that this past week was a good week, and while I had been pushing 150, this week it's looking to be staying around 148ish. My weight fluctuates a lot within in the day and from day to day so it's hard to say whether I've actually lost those 2lbs, but for today, I'll say that I did it! Because it's making me feel motivated to continue to LIVE WELL!
Go to Amy's to read her weekly post about dieting. And I'll check in again next week!
This site will let you keep track of daily goals and keep a log of things like exercise, Bible reading and so forth. There are probably other tools, but that's the one I use.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that site, Bro! =) Looks fun and helpful! Right now in planner it looks like this...
ReplyDeleteBible Reading: (write in the passages for the day according to my yearly plan)
To Do: (list of the day)
Workout: (write what I did)
Dinner: (menu for the night)
So far that seems to be working well!
