I set the game up today and it was really cool! You get to pick which character you are going to be (I'm Amy...remember her?) and then set weight lose goals, track your calories for the day, and compete against other contestants. Just stay above the yellow line....right? I did the first days worth of exercises and it was really a good workout. I was certainly working up a sweat! I will have my first weigh-in next Saturday....
I am trying to get back in the grove of working out as my weight lose-efforts have stalled. I have only lost five pounds since starting this journey. I can usually do a good job with the eating but I need to get my butt moving too. This program has you working out three times a week to start and I am committing myself to that. It has set a goal for me to lose seven pounds for a four week period. Totally doable if I stick to it.
My next hurdle will be the holidays. I am trying to mentally prepare myself for all of the gatherings, meals, parties, etc. that will be coming up. I just need to be in the right mindset going into it and I should be just fine.
Yay for renewed motivation! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm scared to death for the holidays too. I still can't seem to drop the weight I gained on our cruise 3 months ago. So easy to gain, so hard to lose!! We should start brainstorming some healthy Thanksgiving recipes. Dad would appreciate it too I'm sure!
I am doing just that! No sweet potatoes with candied pecans this year. Subbing it with grilled asparagus...yummy! Also making the mashed potatoes healthier and serving a huge mixed green salad. Still having the pumpkin pie though...it's a vegetable, right?
