Anyway, hubby purchased this book for me (since he has the one for men) to follow, it’s call The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess by Lou Schuler, and although I haven’t made it through the entire book (mainly because I’ve been focusing my reading on the books for reviews) it has been a decent book.  Lots of rules though I’ve been lifting weights every other day now for two weeks with using the treadmill or bike the other days. What a workout, that Alwyn is a sadist!

I’ll be updating more often on my progress, although you can always see my updates of my workouts on Twitter and Facebook since I’m using that iPhone app Lose It! which will automatically post any exercises I put for the day.  Not sure yet that this is the best app for keeping track of your foods and exercises, but it works for me right now.

Stay tuned for more updates

The New Year is upon us and we can start fresh with our goals.  I technically started my goal almost 2 months ago, and unfortunately I haven’t been doing much about it.  So, I’m going to start it over, but not today.  I’m going to wait until I get the stitches out of my hand, so I can really start working out, without worrying about sweat getting all over in my cast/bandages.

The In-Laws just left us today, went back down to Kentucky after being here since Thursday, late afternoon.  It was great seeing them, it’s been a few months, and Thaddeus had a blast!  I’ll post some pictures either later today or tomorrow from their visit.

You may notice a little downtime coming up, hopefully not too much.  I’m moving Shawn Ann’s World to a new host and the move takes a little time.  If you are making comments, either on regular posts or giveaways and notice it doesn’t show up, please repost because it may have been during the backup or move and it got missed.   I will try to make the move as smoothy as I can, but I can’t control any hickups that may arise from the move.

40 minutes on the bike for 6.83 miles and 172.3 calories burned

5:15 minutes on the treadmill for .23 miles, 9.3 fat calories, 29 calories.

I also did some stretching and some free weights for my arms, nothing major just about 10-15 minutes worth.  Better than nothing though, right?

Oh and I also played a few games on the Wii, bowled a couple games, played five games of tennis, and did a little boxing.

All in all, not a bad day of working out

Today I weighed in at 151.5lbs This is according to Wii Fit Plus, which I will be using for yoga, exercise, and balance and I will also be using the treadmill and whatever else I can get my hands on to help me exercise and reach my goal.  My ultimate goal is to be about 120 pounds.

I was on the treadmill today for 61:14 and walked/jogged 2.87 miles.  According to the treadmill I lost 116.6 fat calories and 373 regular calories.

Here’s my weight loss tracker

What, oh what, will I do with my day when I won’t have to spend at least 2 hours a day doing classwork and participation?  Oh yeah, LOSE SOME WEIGHT!  That’s my next goal!  Oh and of course blog, I’ve been depriving my blog long enough, it’s time that I start posting a lot more

Weight Watchers has been a decent help for me so far with my diet.  I am eating healthier, but I could do better.  I could also be doing much better at the exercising part, but I seem to run out of time every day, between work, school, and family time.  Maybe once these classes are done I’ll get more time.  Taking two classes at one time, it’s hard to find time for much else.  I’ve also decided that I’m not going to take the Alli pills, for several reasons.

But, all in all, whether it be 13.5 or 14.7 pounds lost, it’s all good!  I’m just about half way to where I want to be

So, I’ve started Weight Watchers and I’m getting ready to start the Alli pills (forgot to bring them with me to work today to start) tomorrow.  For the most part I will be following the diet of Weight Watchers and using the Alli pills as a boost.

I’ll probably be posting more posts on this subject over the next few months with my achievements, whatever they may be.

Along with the dieting, I am trying to get myself back into working out.  I’ll be using the Wii Fit, treadmill, and a workout bench with hand weights along with my balancing ball to keep up with the fitness part of my weight loss journey.

Wish me luck to meet my goal!

I’m going to try to workout on the treadmill at least once a day for at least 30 minutes and one mile each day. I’ll try that for about a week and then up it to two miles within 30 minutes a day and continue to work it up either by miles and/or minutes. I’m going to make this weight fall off by walking. I don’t know how long it’ll take, but I’m going to lose this 30 pounds and get me a nice figure again!
