With the weather getting colder and wetter I wasn’t able to get outside and exercise as much, so had to start training inside. I went out and got the 30 day shred DVD and boy does it give you a workout. I watched it all the way through and it didn’t look that hard. Of course doing it was something else and I was sweating and hurting pretty fast. I followed it all the way through the first level and did the 30 minutes, had to modify a few things towards the end but didn’t want to give up. I am all ready feeling the burn and am looking forward to working out tomorrow some more.

Food wise I am really making the effort to keep my food journal and track everything I eat. My weight loss has slowed down in the last couple of weeks but haven’t gotten out on my bike as much either. My stair climbing has started to bother my knee a bit so have slowed down on that for a few days, but I was up to 64 times.

From all my reading I am learning that I need to eat 1200 calories a day to get to my target weight of 170 lbs, but that I also need to burn that many calories per day. I am having trouble with that, my morning walk burns about 300 calories and the DVD burn 279, so that doesn’t even get me half way there. Will have to do some more research and see what else I can add in to burn those calories!

Trying to do incorporate as much fresh food as possible and use the least amount of canned food and sauces. Today for lunch I had a turkey and lettuce sandwich, I used a nice spicy mustard on the rye bread instead of any margarine or mayo and it tasted good. Tonight we are having homemade pizza and I can have a nice slice without feeling guilty. For the weekend I plan on cooking spaghetti, but I will use spaghetti squash instead of noodles and am loading it with tons of fresh peppers and mushrooms…am looking forward to it.

Off to take the dogs out and have a herbal tea.

Change in the Weather

Well we made it into October and the weather turned cold, windy and rainy. It was too windy to ride the bike the past couple of days, so I took to doing exercise on my home made step and with my exercise ball. Figured any movements are better than nothing.

I have been keeping a food journal and keeping to 1200 calories a day. I watched the Biggest Loser this week which gave me some continued motivation, I just think I need to add more in the exercise department but am not sure what. Don’t want to spend money on anything so have to make up some kind of routine to give me a good work out and burn more calories.

Am feeling like I am coming down with the flu or a cold, so hope not as with my asthma it is not a good combination. So am not exercising tonight and will just keep warm and relax with my husband on the couch!
