Well, day one was a success I’d say. I did oversleep and not workout this morning, but I made myself take a 30 bike ride as well as complete Total Body Cardio after dinner. It feels good, but I’m beat. 

I realized how out of shape I’ve gotten again. I thought I was going to die on my ride. Yikes!  I only rode 6 miles, but it was pretty killer. Part of the reason is that it was 90 degrees today and I forgot my water bottle. 

Stay hydrated people, stay hydrated. 

Food and excercise plan is logged for tomorrow. 

This time I mean it. I’m it to win it because I made a bet and I must win. I’ve pre-determined tomorrow’s food and workouts and I’m ready for day 1.

I took a weight and it was bad (175) and I took a tummy measure and it was worse (43). I do not fit into any of my clothes and I can’t breath and my back is killing me. 

I may as well do the 30 day challenge plan and do a plank in the am and pm and 10 squats every time I use the loo.

Let’s do this! I’m following the 21 day fix workouts and the 17 day diet menu plan. If I can’t lose 25 pounds in 7 months I suck worse than I thought. 

Quitting smoking is on my horizon also. My plan is to wake up May 13th and not smoke. I’ll be going on a trip that will make smoking difficult so I think it’s a good date. 

And, speaking of trip, I am taking my workouts with me!  How’s that for a 1st?  I won’t have weights (most likely) but I can at least workout weightless…or better yet, maybe I’ll go buy some resistance bands since all the workouts have that option. Food will be an issue, but I will try to make good choices. 

I’m also going to try journaling and see if that makes a difference. Daily posts here and each night pre-plan the next day’s food and exercise. I wish getting fit wasn’t so much hard work. 

Is how long I made it this time on plan.  Yep, starting over.  I will probably regret it, but I ordered Thrive.  We will see how it goes.  I tried it before for 3 days after getting samples from a neighbor.  

I will let you know.  I see lots of websites reviewing the MLM scheme, but what I really want to know is do the products work.  I don’t want to be a “promoter,” I want to have more energy and decreased appetite.  (I won’t mind though if you order using my referral link, because, hey discounts are cool).

I’m making another go at a 30 day challenge. This gives me a month to lose my short-term goal of 15 pounds. I think it’s doable if I stick to the work outs, eat reasonably, and stay away from alcohol. I am combining it with a 1200/500 calorie day on/off diet and 21 Day Fix workouts. I found a daily planner and have mapped out the food and workouts for the month, along with my 30 day Spring Cleaning Challenge.

I’ll take measurements tonight.

can’t I be one of those people who gets into a fitness routine and kills it?  No, I have to be the kind of person who does okay for 5 days, so so for another 3-4 and then goes crazy the wrong way. 

There’s got to be a better way. And not surgery, because I can’t afford that.
