Friday
I went back to the gym on Friday, to make up for abruptly leaving early on Thursday. Since Mike is out of school now, I took him along with me. On our way to the gym, we stopped by the store so that I could buy some new work out pants. By the time we got to the gym it was 11:20am. The girl in the kids klub informed me that I only had 40 minutes until they close. I decided to do my strength workout since I could do cardio at home. I did my leg work out. I even put the leg press machine at 210 lbs again. It wasn't so bad. I think it was the squats that about killed me last week.
Changing My Diet
I changed my diet a little more starting today. I completely redid my FitnessPal profile. It actually lowered my calorie allowance to 1240. That's okay, though. I am going to do what I have to do. I am more determined than ever. Along with sticking to my calorie budget, I am going to watch my carb intake. Matt and I sat down and talked on Thursday about my eating. I was sticking to my calories but I was eating a lot of carbs. I have also given up soda. Only water for me now. I have been soda free since Thursday. I don't really miss it much, until I look in the fridge and see them. I won't give in though. I need to go buy a low carb cookbook so it will make things easier. I think it will be easier after my next grocery shopping trip. Then I will have more food that I will be able to eat.
Today
Mike and I went back to the gym today. We got there early so that I would have time to do all of my cardio. I am now going to go to the gym 5 days a week. Monday and Friday will be cardio only days. Tuesday-Thursday will be strength and cardio. I got on the treadmill and began my walk. I walked at an 5.0 incline and a 3.0 pace. My plan was to do 60 minutes on the treadmill and then 20 minutes on the stair master. Unfortunately, when I got done with the treadmill there were no stair masters available. Oh darn! You can imagine how upset I was by this (cough cough).
I also got a pedometer app on my phone to track my steps. Now I just need to get an arm band. I'll pick one up when I go to the store today. My mother in law are going to start walking in the evenings as well (whenever she can). We are meeting up today at 4:30pm to walk a very nice path. We are taking Mike and Savannah(our dog) with us. My mother in law says that Savannah is getting fat and needs to walk too.
Next Summer, my parents are going to be having a vow renewal ceremony. My sister and I have been planning this for a while now. Unfortunately the bridesmaid dresses that my mom picked out are the kind that look terrible on me. I have 1 year to do everything that I can to loose all of this weight! Maybe, for the first time in my entire life, I will end up looking better than my sister. :)
