  • I have been seriously slacking on exercise and it's starting to show. I think I've lost alot of muscle cuz my pants feel tighter now then they did when I was this weight before. I had gotten down to 219 last fall but since then have crept back up. And I have only exercised about 12 times since Dec 23 (the last day of my regular exercising.) But this week I am determined to start again! I am going to do my Crunch Pilates Video 3x a week and do my Treadmill 5x a week. That is my goal this month! Next month I plan to add in free weights for upper body & lower body exercises too. Today is my first day. I just found this thread and think it is great! Coming back to post my update will definitely help me keep at it!

    5/4 Hi ya'll again, I added my day two! Can't wait for the end of the month and see my progress! I guess I'm going to try and add Free Weights for my upper body 2-3x a week this month! I want my arm muscles back too!

    5/9 uh oh, i'm starting to slack... so i went out wed night and didn't sleep well so i didn't work out thursday, then i slacked off yesterday too. So after work tonight I'm going to do my Pilates video... and hopefully my TM for a half hour...I just need to do it and not cave in to laziness!

    5/12 I haven't been feeling so hot the last few days... I hope today when I wake up I can get on the Treadmill. I know that will make me feel better!

  • May 4...Will be walking 30 minutes this morning in the rain!
  • Well I just got done with W1D1 of the Couch to 5k and it kicked my butt!!! I will definitely be repeating this week a couple of times. But, the main thing is that I'm getting out there and doing it. The first time I switched from walking to running, I put it off for a few steps because I was worried what someone would think seeing my big a$$ running. But then I thought, who cares? I'm the one out here doing it, they're the ones watching from inside their house. So who's the loser now? lol

    ETA: Now I am off to do my Wii Fit for the day! Then I will have about 40 min of exercise in!! Yay for me!!
  • Woot! Feeling great today. Not only did I stick to my working out this weekend (the hardest time of the week for me to work out personally) but I stuck to my diet too!
