I think 10 pounds a month is a reasonable mini goal. I hope...
I'm trying to stay at (or under) 1,200 cals a day. I also want to get in at LEAST 30 minutes of exercise each day.
I just tried Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and I yeah... not gonna happen for a while. I was good until the jumping jacks. My boobs are waaaaaaay too big (and not secured down) to do jumping of any sort. Then I got onto our (hardwood) floors to do the modified push ups (using your knees) and yeah... hurt like crazy. Took me five minutes just to get down onto the floor and back up. Glad no one was around to see that, lol.
We have an elliptical that we bought with our tax money this year. I can do about two minutes before my legs turn into burning jello. I'm trying to work on that.
We also have a treadmill... I can do about 10 minutes before my ankles and knees beg me to stop.
So I'm hoping once I've dropped 20 or 30 pounds exercising will be easier. It's not fun right now and it's killing my motivation.
