An Update!

I haven’t updated this blog in forever, I know.  I am really bad at consistently updating, though I have been consistently exercising and recording m weight on the MyFitnessPal app.

I guess I should give a quick update on how things are going.  I went back home to California in mid-December and did not exercise much while I was at home.  Not only did I not exercise much, but I ate lots of yummy food – hey, it was the holidays!  Then, when I came back to Chicago, I gained another two pounds.  Thus, I am sitting pretty at 133.6, and I have been for the past three or so weeks, I think.

That’s a nearly 5 lb. weight gain since I last weighed myself.  While I am content in staying +/-5 lbs. from 130 lbs., seeing the number go up was pretty disappointing.  I am back to working out with TurboFire so I am hoping that my weight will get back down again.  I think I dropped the last few pounds while I was in the “Cardio” part of the program, which makes sense.  I also now have the Advanced DVD’s for TurboFire, which I am ridiculously excited about.   It’s probably going to kill me, but in a good way.

I am currently working on my review for TurboFire, so expect that up soon.  In the meantime, I’m going to get some work done for classes.

Sunday Check-In: September 2, 2012

Current Weight, as of 08/26/2012: 132.8 lbs.
Pounds lost since last weigh-in: 1.6 lbs.
Goal Weight: 125-130 lbs.

Looks like the week of bad eating is slowly wearing off, thank goodness.

I figured that it would, too.  I don't eat like that every day, so I figured that the extra pounds I was carrying would melt off somehow.  I knew that I wouldn't go back down to 129 lbs. as quickly, either, but I am hoping to get back down to it soon.

I started my first full week of school and internship and I am trying to figure out how to keep myself sane this semester.  I'm working on a schedule that would have me waking up fairly early and working out before I really begin my days, but thus far, it hasn't worked -- which is fine.  It just means that adjustments need to be made!

I'll try to add another entry this week, but I can't promise anything!

[019] A Mini-Post

I'm sure you're surprised that it has taken me this long to make a post about my health goals. I've been seriously at this for about a month now; in that month, I have come up with a few goals that I would like to accomplish healthwise:

TEN GOALS:
1. Drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day.
2. Walk at least 2 miles a day, at least 10 miles a week.
3. Keep my calories at 1290, as recommended by My Fitness Pal.
4. Be able to jog a mile without stopping!
5. Get down to 130 lbs.
6. Complete Ripped in 30.
7. Take at least one 'rest' day a week.
8. Get my asthma so under control that I use my inhaler only a few times a week.
9. Incorporate more fruits and vegetables into my diet.
10. Order the lower calorie options from menus and eat only 1/2 of what is served.

I can do this. I know I can.

I hope you're all having a great Monday.
