Life of a Twenty Something

How does myfitnesspal.com work exactly?

Do I get to eat what I earn? I am soo confused because then it tells me that I won’t be losing weight? I just want to lose fat and portion control is a problem for me. HELP!

Also just found an eating plan on blogilatetv.com I think I am going to try it. It is not that different from what I am currently eating but it is all thought out for me.

What my husband says when I say we need to eat healthier

feeling motivated

I knew I was going to stay awake so I then decided while watching a show, I would really get serious. So I went on youtube and found Jillian Michael’s Yoga meltdown. I did that while watching tv and found yoga to be relaxing but challenging as well. My goals for the next 4 weeks is to have yoga, strength and cardio all combined. I am hoping and praying to push myself to really dedicate myself. 

DAY 1/30

Great day

1400 

106 protein

80 oz water

don’t have much time today so doing JM 30DS Ill take what I can get.

p.s finally got some hand weights in this place (10 lbs. the only weight that I can do that my mother had duplicates)

Mother’s day

Happy Mother’s day to all the mothers out there. Had a great time with my mother and mother in law. 

p.s -going to get legit on these goals because I saw myself in a picture-not ok with it.

so excited

feeling sore from mon-wed workouts which feels great. I was going to go running but for some reason my contacts do not work soooo I am going to the optometerist on saturday and today do some more in house business. I think today I will do Jillian Michael’s metabolism dvd  again. I am finally starting to feel like myself again. I am really happy that I am working out atleast 30 minutes a day (except yesterday) and getting high amounts of protein and drinking water. Drinking water is always a huge thing for me I don’t know why. Now, knowing that I have a certain goal makes me push to make sure I have enough. I am going grocery shopping later today and planning to buy ALOT of vegetables and chicken breasts. I have realized that while I have gained muscle my over eating and mindless eating have caused those muscles to be covered my this lovely layer to fat. When I flex I can see my muscles but my eating has really caused major distress. I realize that I really need to plan and execute because I am trying to juggle: work, home, church duties, internship, being a wife and making myself available to my family. I am going to lose my husband in august when he leaves for basic training and then I am going wherever he is in March of next year to go live somewhere far from my parents and sisters. I need to make sure I ORGANIZE MY TIME!

No goal accomplishments to post yet, just ate breakfast and had some coffee. 

p.s I will be doing boxing in June I keep missing the informational meeting!

Day 4

So tired from work I think I am taking a rest day to kick butt tomorrow.

Goals:

90 oz done

100 grams protein

no workout today

stopped eating at 1950 much better day today

Looking forward tomorrow to hit 1700 that would be it and hoping to motivate myself to a run

sweaty beast

still not feeling 100% myself yet. I did 15 minute blogilates cardio and 15 minutes insanity I like the mixing up because it doesn’t make me feel bored with one instructor. I am sweating so much right now. 

100 oz of water

workout

100 grams of protein

ate way too much

Happy that I am achieving most of my goals but I really need to get into my calorie range. I think I am going to aim for a max of 1700 but I want to get into 1400-1600. 

thank goodness for youtube

So today was good, didn’t think I felt JM metabolism booster from yesterday only to find out after a nap my body feels like its 59 years old. (yes 59 cuz it wasn’t that bad). I thought I would go running but didn’t feel the gumption (maybe I am 59), so I figured I would find something online. I did about 10 minutes of zumba (which I find not to be for me), some hit and miss of a kickboxing dvd for 10 and then came across the BLOGILATESTV channel. I did a 2 workouts totaling 15 minutes and loved them. They have tons of different things. I did a kickboxing one and then did a cardio one. I am going to do the cardio one again later this week because its about 6 minutes but it’s a H.I.I.T routine so its supposed to be done 4 times with one minute rest in between. I really like the instructor as well.With youtube you can set up your own playlist and put together 4 of 5 mini workouts to give you a great over all workout. This was a great alternative to what I already have in my fitness library. 

So while I don’t think I gave it my usual 110%, coming in with 80% is better than 0%.

Progress for today

118 grams of protein

90 oz of water 

35 minute workout completed

2*** calories (yea this is the zinger)

-I am not going to beat myself up about going over my calories I still achieved alot of my goals one day is not going to kill me and all I have eaten is healthy. I am just  really hungry today and I am going to deal with it today but tomorrow is another day where I aim to hit all my goals.
