Okay, HERE we go!

Alright so I got sick last week and took almost the whole week to fully recuperate. Now I am finally feeling 100% okay and I'm ready to start my program.

Yesterday, I went in the morning to work out. I weighed in at 168 so I am still only 3 pounds up from when I got back from Disney but I am still almost 30 pounds till my goal. I can do it, it's only 10 pounds more than I've already lost (well you know, I've lost 20, 30 more to go). So, today I'm going to do cardio since yesterday I did upper body (and my chest muscles are SCREAMING today). I think I'm going to go to Kick and Core, the kickboxing class at CRCE. I am also going to keep much better tabs on my eating today, mostly just making sure I'm waiting in between meals long enough.

Yesterday was good though. I snacked a lot because I was home most of the day but I didn't eat anything that was TOO bad for me. I just need to watch it.

Goals for this week are:

-Stick to the food portion
-Try Kick and Core and maybe another cardio class
-Stick to one beer on Wednesday night
-Get remotivated to get rid of these next 30 pounds!!

I can do it, I know I can. I just lost my momentum. Here we go!!!!!!!

Andddd now for another 12 week challenge!

So I'm going to start another 12 week challenge this Monday. I'm going to do it right too, just like last time and I'm going to finish out the entire program. It will take me to the middle of June so assuming I do everything like last time . . . I should lose at least 10 pounds of fat and inches off my waist and hips (which is really where I'd like to in time for Lori's wedding!). I've already ordered my dress for it, but I guess I'll just take it in if I need to. :-)

Biggest challenges to the program are going to be:
-Finding time to exercise on certain days because of class/activities
-Not drinking! It's such a big part of college life.
-The food at school is too tempting sometimes . . . I'll have to be really careful.

First week goals include:
-Finding the time for workouts and meals when I need to.
-Cutting out all junk food.
-Drinking enough water again.

Long term goals include:
-(At least) 10 more pounds by Lori's wedding
-Be able to run for 5 minutes consecutively
-Wear a bikini this summer ;-)
