Gym-ed it up at 5 a.m.!

Goooooooooood morning.

I actually got up to my alarm and headed to the gym at 5 a.m. this morning.  It wasn't a long workout or anything, but it was something!  Did mostly cardio but some strength.  Timing worked out well for me to get home, shower and get ready for work.  When I start extending my workouts, I'll probably just get ready for work at the gym and come straight here.  But right now, I'm happy with myself as long as I get there 3x a week for SOME time. It doesn't have to be crazy. Something is always better than nothing!!!  It sucks getting up early, but at least it's done, out of the way and I can enjoy my evening tonight!!

Lunch will be a salad with some grilled chicken on top.  It'll be yummy.  Dinner - I'm even more looking forward to -- Ribs!  It doesn't matter what else we have with it, that's what I'm looking forward to.  lol

One thing I need to remember is to not let other people get you down.  Yesterday we went to Life Time for our Metabolic Testing.  When I was standing on the scale and it was taking all my measurements/stats, the trainer mumbled "ooooh boy" ... just like disgust almost.  Yes, I know I have a long way to go...no, I'm not a size 4 like you....yes, I am unhealthy, but if you don't have something postive to say, don't say anything. I'm here. I'm doing something about it.  That put me in a funk for part of the day.  

I feel on track today.  I'm feeling good.  A bit tired, but I'll live.  ツ

Hope everyone has a great Monday -- make it your day!

Haven't made much progress

...since the last time I posted.  The struggle is real....and continues... haha  

Steve and I joined Lifetime Fitness though.  Hoping that we get out butts out more and get some good workouts in!  We went last night and I'm feeling it today --- and that's great!! Tonight's a busy night with lawn/house work and taking C to swim.  Tomorrow we've got a Move It Session which I think they kinda meet with you and evaluate where you are, what your goal are, and come up with a game plan.  At least I hope that's what it is.  It'll be my first taste of kinda what personal training is like. I'm always so intimidated by new things.  Eventually I want to try a class out. Just got to get over the fear of being the "new girl" who is WAY out of shape.  I was happy that when I went last night it wasn't just all "pretty people"  --- I've heard that's what Lifetime was, so I was nervous about REALLY standing out. But there were all sorts of people and everyone really kept to themselves and did their own thing so that was cool.  

They've got a lot to offer there for all of us, even C.  This weekend I know we're gonna go as a family. Steve and I will get a workout in and then we can have some family time at the pool. That'll be a lot of fun.  So we're now down to 36 days til Vegas.  Yikes.  I don't know how I'm going to do before then, but I'll give it my best.  

Hope everyone is doing well ♥♥

50 Days to Vegas!

Here we go --- getting close!

So, because I like to doodle and create: a countdown chart with some goals!

50 days to lose 26 lbs!  Doable! Let's just do it!! I'd like to lose more of course, but I'm trying to be realistic.  I'm logging -- going to stay under 1300 cals per day, no fast food and get at least 30 min of exercise or 10K steps in each day.  I was going to say no booze or pop but I'm just leaving it up to me to stay within the cal limits! Figure that's good enough :) 

No fast food shouldn't be hard!  I'm going to try to use up some supplements and shakes that I've spent money on for breakfasts and lunches.  I've only got a TON... lol Between VLCD shakes, puddings, Nutrisystem shelf stable foods..... Geez-o-peets!  Started today off with a half a banana and a sugar free rockstar. Took my vitamins and have logged in MFP.  Gotta get back to tons of water too.  It doesn't taste so good lately lol  I need to get some more Mio. 

Even though my eating hasn't quite been on par, I've been doing okay! I'm still under where I started VLCD 2.0 but I have put some of it back on. I know part of it is not drinking enough water, and drinking other calories.  For some reason, those yummy wine coolers have calories in them.. damn..  eek just looked.  150-225 each.  Ummm.... Only had about 4 on Saturday.  Yeahhh... definitely logging for these 50 days. 

Okay, that's about all I've got right now! Hope everyone has a good Tuesday.
