evoo....when I was doing good and lost weight I did 5 miles on my treadmill, I walked, jogged, ran whatever my body wanted to do...but if I walked I put it at the highest incline, if I jogged or ran I would lower the incline....anything to keep myself going. At the gym, I obviously will have more equipment available to me so I can do alot more. Today was my first day, took my son and he was crying the whole time at the daycare so it cut my work out short...but I did do elliptical for 30 mins and treadmill for 15. Plan to add more and get more into a rhythm...
Foodwise--Stop drinking soda (which I'm a huge soda addict) and just kind of watch what I eat. I can't tell myself I'm NOT going to eat a certain food, because then I just want it. So I kind of just watch myself and don't over do it. For example, today I had oatmeal for breakfast, morning snack was wheat crackers, lunch was a low sodium progresso chicken soup & pineapples to satisfy my sweet tooth, afternoon snack was a slim fast 100 cal bar and for dinner had a cup of rice with beans and lean meat. Drank 4-5 water of bottle throughout the day and after coming home from the gym had a strawberry banana smoothie...that's kind of what I follow when I want to lose weight. I wish I could be stricter with myself....but when I've tried I just end up overeating.
Hope I didn't write to much...just wanted you to have a good idea.
