I've been in a major slump for quite a while now. I haven't been working out or eating right. I haven't had any goals I've been working on and for all you goal oriented people in the world you know how miserable that feeling is. I've decided now is the time to set a new goal and achieve it!! I am ready to get in shape for summer. Last year I was too embarrassed to wear shorts or a swimsuit. Not this year I am going to be READY!!! and it will start today.
It wasn't that long ago that I was competing as a NPC National Level figure competitor (last competition was June 2006) so I know what to do to achieve my goal I just have to do it! I topped the scale in Jan. of this year at 140lbs...that is a lot for my 5' 3/4" frame (I was less than 98lbs on competition day). I've already lost a little weight...this morning I weighed in at 133lbs.
My plans are to update my blog frequently listing what I am eating, what I am doing exercise wise, how I am feeling, and photos tracking my progress. I'm ask at least every couple of days for advice on diet or exercise so that is why I've decided to share this adventure so everyone can see exactly what I am doing and who knows maybe try it for themselves.
Day 1
I woke up feeling really crappy, my throat was swollen, I had a headache, and chills. Great what a way to start out my workout journey. I decided I would not let it get me down. I got up and took some ibuprofen. I also went ahead and took 2 Inflama Trim tablets (a natural wt loss supplement I got from our local health food store. I like these because they contain a lot of herbs and vitamins).
8:30 ran up my stairs (13 steps) 6 times. Ran up/walked down.
9:00 1 packet of instant oatmeal w/splenda, 2 scoops of Micell Edge Protein shake

superset w/reps of 50 1st set, 25 reps 2nd&3rd set of squats (no wt)
