A new blog to log my progress on my latest challenge to myself. Working in Mosinee at Snap Fitness now as a Trainer and I still have the same stupid 10 pounds I had in Oklahoma. Very aggravating. I have no one but myself to blame simply because I have been so bad at watching my intake of calories- and not working out as much or as hard as I need to- I wish I could figure out why I am unable to find the person in me who lost 20 lbs in my 20's- the person in me who was so motivated and strict and could actually do a 2x's a day shake and one meal diet- I can't stand that now- I have to chew something and I don't say no to eating out either- usually I order fairly safe but you and I both know- there's a lot more calories than meets the eye. Anyway- I am now 40 and age only makes weight loss more difficult. My new challenge is to lose weight before Christmas-which is when I see all of my extended family again- I changed it up a bit to not focus so much on the weight loss as on the exercising- in other words- I challenge myself to 5 days a week instead of 3 or 4. 5 days that include cardio in all days and weights in 2 of the 5.
Cardio has to be 30 min on weight days and 45-60 min on cardio only days. On cardio only days I have to do cardio bursting to intesify the workout. I think just by adding a day each week, I will feel smaller and will begin to see a difference. Ok- get this- here I am, the Personal Trainer and my "body fat percentage" in on the high end- maybe even slidding a bit into the "overweight" zone.
That's really uncool- I need to be able to get my body fat down to be an inspiration to others- at least in my professional opinion I do. So- here I go on my new journey- I will do a weigh in next week and see if it has gone down from a month ago. Pray for me- I need all help I can get.
