Reason: Update
Im so excited its May!!! That means its finally getting warm here in Buffalo! Goals-
1) 90 Minutes of exercise daily. I know this seems like alot, but my body is in "baby making mode" as my doctor says, and even though I have no intention of getting pregnant, my body is holding onto every calorie I eat. I gain weight if I eat 1200cals a day and exercise for an hour. I know it seems like it makes no sense, but trust me- its awful. Until my metabolism picks back up, 90 minutes seems to be the only way to get my weight to creep down, even just a little bit!
2) Five days a week of split weight training with my trainer.
3) Keeping up with the challenge Start Weight:137.8
Current Weight:134.5
Goal Weight:127.8
Week 1
1 60 mins weights- leg day! 60 minutes cardio
2 30 mins weights- chest day. Ew. 60 minutes cardio
3 12 hour work day- 0 mins today.
4 sick
Week 2
5 30 minutes-Back day!
6 30 minutes-Shoulder day! 45 min treadmill walk. 90 minute neighborhood walk.
7 30 minute arm day
8 60 minutes leg day
9 30 minutes chest day
10 This week sucked. I was so down. I didnt get anything accomplished, especially this weekend.
11 Found out my ex of six years is dating the girl who cuts his hair. UGH.
Week 3
12 30 minutes back day. Still getting over my sad week.
13 30 minutes shoulders. 45 minute walk.
14 45 minutes arm day! Love me some arm day.
15 30 minute leg day. 90 minute Run/walk.

Since I achieved my exercise goal for last month, I'm going to raise it by 100 minutes this month. So, I'm going for 500 minutes of exercise. If possible, I'd like to be active, whether it's hard exercise or not, for 15 or 20 minutes a day. I find that recording it every day here helps hold me accountable, which is really helpful!
I would love to lose 5 pounds, since I've been holding steady for a month. Stupid plateau.
I'm going to aim for an average of below 1700 calories per day, which I'll calculate on a weekly basis. That way I don't freak out if I go over a bit. I'm also going to try to eat less bread (good luck . . .). Good, homemade bread is my major weakness.
Weight: 195 *sigh* Average Calories: 1622 calories
Week 2:
5 - 1715 calories (let's just that that my BF sent me chocolate . . .)
6 - 1807 calories (bad bad bad . . . I ate ice cream . . . must crack down)
7 - 35 minutes DDR, 15 minutes walk/jogging
8 - 1815 calories
9 - 2016 calories, 30 minutes of DDR (Teacher Appreciation Week is killing me - so much good food from my students' parents!)
10 - 1441 calories (much better), and 30 minutes of DDR
11 - 1531 calories
Weight: 192 pounds Average Calories: 1721 calories (close!)
Week 3:
12 - 1423 calories (haven't found the time to exercise even though I really want to! usually it's the other way around . . .)
13 - 30 minutes of DDR, 2065 calories (we had a special Moroccan guest chef at dinner and it was amazing)
14 - 50 minutes DDR (I was dripping sweat by the end), 2496 calories (this is bad)
15 - 60 minutes DDR, 1868 calories (better . . . ish . . .)
16 - 1701 calories, 15 minutes light DDR
17 - 35 minutes intense DDR, 1146 calories
18 - 1302 calories, gentle walking, 30 minutes
My May goals are to lose an inch of my body, exercise 6 days a week for an hour at a time, and to not cheat and start to lag..
