Way over due!!!!!!!!
I haven't posted anything on this blog in a VERY long time. I am bound and determined to loose some tumor weight!!! Shaun and I have been talking about having another baby sometime, just not sure when, but I do know I need to loose at least what I would gain during a healthy pregnancy. So here is my goal, and if its in writing I will have to do it (right). My goal is 35 lbs. by June 30th. I'll need to ideas, I get board of doing the same thing. So HELP ME!!!

I always do the same thing so don't aske me! Just get active and once you realise how good it makes you feel you will want to stike to it.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things you can do. So just determine where you want to start and then have someone to check back on you.
ReplyDeleteFor some ideas,
have healthy snacks as the only visible thing when you are looking for something to eat.
have meals planed for the entire week so you don't eat out or something fast due to their very high calories
For activity wise have a variety. Walking, biking, lunges, whatever you like, if you have a wii fit I have heard there are a lot on there. SET a time when you ARE going to do it even if you are tired and don't feel like it that helps me anyways.
Another thing I have done is have a calendar with what I am going to do that day and then I have to cross it off each day so you can visably see when you have worked out.
Have a reward for yourself, maybe a new something that you realy want or maybe a goal of walking a 5k somewhere.
If you want someone to report back to you can use me.
I'll need to use you!! We plan on buying a treadmill with part of our tax returns, and a lady in our ward gave me an eliptical thinggy. She actually bought it basicly new from D.I. I have thought about going there and looking for more stuff.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about the Wii fit, its pricey but it would be better than a gym membership.
Elipitals are the best and treadmills are always nice as well. I would try those before getting anything else expensive.
ReplyDeletethis has helped me a ton, I just tried to stay as close to this as possible and I am learning to eat better and loosing weight. 15 pounds so far.
ReplyDeleteThis is a daily point system, here are how you earn points:
10 points - drinking at least 48 oz of water
5 points - reading scriptures for 20 min or more a day
5 points - daily assignment (I will expound later)
1 point - per "good food" (list to follow) that you ate for a total up to 10 per day
-2 points - per "bad food" (list to follow) that you ate, no max
5 points - NO eating or drinking (other than water) after 8 pm
10 points - eating at least 5 fruits and vegetables (no partial points)
5 points - morning and evening prayer
0-20 points - exercise
10 points - 20-30 min
15 points - 31-45 min
20 points - 46-60 min ( no more than 20 points per day and cannot be split between days)
If done perfectly with no bad food cheats there is a max of 70 points per day
Weekly weigh in on Monday morning before eating and after using the bathroom for extra points for weight lost (but this is only done weekly, not daily) We will get our starting weight this Monday

1 lb - 10 points * no max on points for pounds lost
