Bringing Sexy Back

Oh yes, I said it. I am bringing it back, my sexiness. :) Well mostly I am bring back healthy me, a better feeling me, a happier me. And it is about time. No more excuses like I just had a baby, there is no time, I deserve a treat. . .Nope! No more. I need to whip myself back into it's old glory. I know I will never get back to the body I had after bootcamp or my tour in Iraq BUT I can get close! So here is the plan.

My goal is 135 lbs by April 28th. Easy enough right? That's 2 lbs a week.

Action Plan:

Work out 3 times a week.

Run at least 2 times a week.

Get back into my yoga practice.

Weigh myself once a week.

Judge weight mostly on how my clothing fits.

Eat more veggies and fruit, less carbs.

I know that I am weak when it comes to starches, sweets and coffee so I need to cut back on these items and really focus on what's good for me. I will encourage those around me and offer my solutions and listen to other's solutions to their weightloss. I want to make this as positive of an experience as possible.

My other motivation will be to post here and on Facebook my workouts, meals, set backs and motivations. I think posting to the world what I am doing will push me to do better.

So for this morning, I got up, had a bit of a late start but still went to the gym. Had a granola bar on the way (you should have something on your tummy before a workout) and did 5 min on level 5 on the bike then did 3 sets of 15 kettle ball squats, 3 sets of 15 step ups, and 3 sets of 15 bench dips, 20 walking lungs with weights, plus scissor kicks, and planks with leg lifts.

Hopefully, I will get more than that in on a workout but at least I did something. I will need to do some walking today and maybe some running tonight. One thing that I do every day is sit on a yoga ball instead of a chair. I love it because I can bounce to music and if I feel super motivated do a few crunches here and there. Pretty fun if you are an antsy pants. So my motivation this week for all of you following, try something new to get you in the mood to move. Here is a picture of me after the River Run. Another goal of mine is to finish it next year in 90 min. Yep that will get my butt out to run!
