Weight: I gained 1.8 pounds for an adjusted total loss of 53.2 pounds. I have been totally slacking with my eating habits so I expected that gain.
Nutrition: I was pretty busy this week with a couple of blogging events and family in from out of town. I went out on several days and didn't make the healthiest choices.
Exercise: I could only make it to the gym 2 times this week but when I did I worked out really hard by doing the elliptical for 50 minutes and the arc trainer for 10 minutes. I also did some free weights as home when an app and YouTube videos.
Last Weeks Goals:
- Go to the gym or do an exercise DVD at least 3 times.
- Weight Machines or Toning DVD 3 times.
- Continue Plank Challenge - GOAL MET
- Try Yoga - GOAL MET
- Track Food and Water.
This Weeks Goals:
- Gym 3 days
- Strength Training 3 days
- Continue Plank Challenge
- Yoga or Stretching
- Dr. Oz Rapid Weight Loss Plan for 7 days

Wow! You've really gone a very long long way in losing weight. Just keep on fighting and don't lose hope. Everything is possible as long as you're committed to have a healthy lifestyle. It's for your family and for yourself.
ReplyDeleteTry some at home workouts those usually keep me pretty motivated! I actually did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and lost almost 20lbs!!!
ReplyDelete6 months for the rest of your life! Keep it going.. i need to restart my journey.
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard to stay on track when family is visiting! keep up the good work, you look great!
ReplyDeleteWe all have some off weeks but getting back on track is the thing to do! I think I am going to do my Biggest Loser DVD this week!
ReplyDeleteYou've done so great! As your daughter grows older, she will really appreciate the efforts you are making on her behalf too- of course, you are becoming healthier yourself, but it will benefit your family as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I can really see a difference in your "before" and "during" photos. Just remember, healthy living is a marathon, not a sprint. It's easy to get frustrated when you plateau, and you will, but don't let it get to you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when strength training start with compound movements. They hit the most muscle groups and they really promote muscle growth. Stay away from machines also. Go with free weights. They give you the best workout, and they don't force your joints to stay in one static position. Break your strength training up into two days initially - upper and lower body.
Here's what I like to do:
Upper body:
Bench press (chest and triceps)
Incline bench press (chest and triceps)
Decline bench press (chest and triceps)
Barbell rows (back and biceps)
Lat pull down (back and biceps)
Deadlifts (pretty much all of your back)
Lower body:
Squats
Lunges
Leg curls
Also, if you can do cardio in the morning before breakfast. That way you're burning your fat reserves rather than the calories you've eaten during the day.
Good luck!
great advice to excercise bf breakfast but my class is at 9:30 am and I get light headed, maybe just a small snack.
DeleteGreat advice I need to try to eat just a small snack b/f my 9:15 class it is too late not to eat anything.
DeleteKeep up the hard work you're doing very well, the before and now picture is clear proof that it's working.
