Well, I have started working out harder again and am even in a contest at my gym!!! Wow...i guess this will be a long road....it is one that is really hard to stay on. it seems so easy for some people and harder for others...im one of the "others"!!
Anyway, I will keep trudging along!!
Hope everyone else is doing okay...let me know what you do to workout and to stay motivated and maybe even what your favorite snack is....
That is so frustrating! I think it's great you joined a contest at your gym - I'm sure that competitive side of you will come out and conquer!
ReplyDeleteI know you guys like going to the gym, but for me, I just like working out at home, since I feel like I'm never AT home. I get up in the mornings before work and do my ChaLEAN Extreme videos. They have been great videos for me because they are a strength training program that also includes challenging cardio. I've been doing the program for about 2 months and I've lost 10 lbs. Next week, I'll start a new set of videos in the program. The videos are totally doable and most of them are only about 35 minutes.
It's hard to stay motivated but I just try and remember how good I feel after I work out. And, I'm the kind of person who NEEDS the workout to regulate my thoughts, emotions and just everything! Also, I think watching the Biggest Loser helps me.
As far as snacks are concerned, I get those little all natural fruit cups with no sugar in them or cups of applesauce and bring them to work. Sometimes, I'll eat a Clif bar. Every morning I eat a small thing of Greek yogurt and mix in Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal and that makes a pretty good breakfast. We've been making our meals from that cookbook I blogged about awhile back http://edarthwaite.blogspot.com/2010/11/yum.html and that's helped too I think. Anyhow, good luck! I know you can do it!
