So………. As i stated in my first blog, one of my goals is to lose 40lbs. I started my diet and exercise plan this past Thursday. It is now sunday and I think im doing ok. I have eaten very well staying under my daily calorie allowance, I have also been doing different types of exercise, So far i have taken 2 water aerobic classes, walked on my tread mill and worked out on the elliptical. My plan will be this, Monday,Wednesday,Friday- swim laps for 30mins, Water Aerobics 1hr. Tues and thrus- Zumba, 1 hr Tread mill 30mins, elliptical 30 mins. Sat- Tread mill, Elliptical 30 mins each. Sunday- rest. I have done all of these things except for the zumba; I am excited about taking the zumba class though.
My diet will be as follows- Breakfast- Carnation instant breakfast, Either 1 banana or 1 special k bar. Lunch-one hot pocket. Dinner- nightly choice. Snack- protein water.
I am also taking a supplement i read good things about called recreate. So far it has helped to curb my appetite, and my energy level is amazing, not to mention i have had no jittery feeling or trouble sleeping.
I have three reasons for wanting to lose weight.
1. So my chances of getting pregnant will increase (look for the explanation of this in a future blog.)
2. My health
3. My husband has lost a lot of weight and now weighs less than me. Which i am not comfortable with. It is hard to be romantic when all i can think is he must think im a cow!
