I took the first big step into securing a workout regimen by going to sign up for a free pass to 24hr fitness. I don't have any money at this time but, they were willing to give me a free pass until the 21st which is my payday. Then at that time I can secretly decide if that gym works out for me. So, where there is a will, there is a way. It can be done. I'm sure other gyms also would offer a free trial period. Things that make me say hmmm.....
Any who this week I plan on easing into this weight loss journey. I want to primarily focus on getting in my exercise and eating actual meals vs. grazing all day. This will be my plan for my first week.
WEEK ONE
- Work out 4 days...Monday and Thursday: elliptical 30 minutes, upper body strength training Tuesday and Friday: elliptical 30 minutes. lower body strength train
- Eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks
- Only liquids will be water or a diet soda for treat
I have been logging food on
www.myfitnesspal.com. I think this is a GREAT site and would recommend it to anyone. It mimics the Weight Watchers site. It is free and you can track calories, exercise and it has a very supportive online community. For this first week I am not going to put too much pressure on myself as for logging my food. It can get tedious and does take a great deal of attention. But, it great when you can see at a glance when you are eating too much. I know I will eventually go back to it. For now I will focus on exercise and not over eating and when my weight loss halts or I am not happy with the results, I will then go back to logging my food.
Well, good night. Gym in the morning. Good luck to me. Official starting weight will be posted tomorrow!!
