Oh what 2 weeks can do
I was able to go to the gym today for the first time in over 2 weeks. Well I take that back I was able to once while we were on vacation.
Today I worked out for almost an hour. I did 30 minutes of cardio and about 20 min of weights. I felt so out of shape. I was sweating and panting and feeling really rough. But it felt great to get back in the swing of things. Thankfully with all I ate over the last 2 weeks I didn’t gain much overall weight I just gained a little bit of fat which can easily be corrected with some working out.
I had a goal I wanted to hit before I went to visit my family and unfortunately I didn’t hit that goal. Maybe it was unrealistic, I don’t know. All I know now is that I have a new set of goals. I will hit my solid goal by the time I go visit again next summer. I may change my goal a bit if I find out it’s possible to go to visit around Christmas time but we will see.
I want to lose another 67 pounds. That will bring me to a total of 117 pounds total loss. It will also bring me to 20 pounds lighter than I originally said I wanted to be. I think I am just tired of being on the larger side. I saw pictures of myself from when we were on vacation. I was still disappointed in what I saw. I could definitely tell a difference from before I lost any weight but I need to work on my arms and lower abs.
I am trying to get back on track and we started “over” yesterday. I am sort of counting calories. Not completely, meaning I haven’t used my calorie counter program on my iPhone but I have calculated it in my head. I am going to see how that goes. If I hit a plateau again I will be more precise. It just seems very time consuming to calculate everything like that and with 4 kids it’s just not realistic.
We will see how this Sunday’s weigh in goes.
