I just did about a 21 minute bike ride and I think I'm starting to get where people get that "energy" from. I was exhausted, but I felt like I could be doing more. So much, I think I'll go back and do more.
I jointed LoseIt.com - I have the app on my phone as well it's helping me keep track of exercise and food I consume. This should make me more aware of what I eat.
On a side note, I have amazing family and friends who have been so supportive. I appreciate all the comments and encouragement, it's definitely a hard and daunting task and I want so much to be able to hug all of you. Thank you.
I like the blog. I'd follow it, but you don't have that option available. But I'll keep checking it out.
ReplyDeleteTrevor- We'll I'm not sure how to add the follow feature, however I noted that there was a link that said "Follow" in the tool bare area towards the top of the page. Either way, I've checked and followed you! :)
ReplyDeleteKeep yourself at the point where you feel like you could do a little more still if you really pushed yourself, but don't actually push yourself to do that. You will be able to maintain a consistant level of activity over an extended period of time that way, and actually be more effective.
ReplyDeleteHey there Jenn :) I am so happy you're finding that energy! Are you planning anything ahead for your workouts? Or are you just going day by day? i was doing a 30 day workout thing. It worked for the 30 days then I didn't plan anything else and it fell apart. What motivates you?
ReplyDeleteHi Jennie,
ReplyDeleteI just found out about the blog although I've been seeing your update posts on FB. This is awesome and I am happy for your decision to get fit. Keep it up!!
I love you--
Peggy
Jess - I'm doing a 4 days a week work out plan. I work out Monday/wed/friday/saturday - Because Tues/Thursday are my long days at school/work and I can't be tired by 7PM (Because Im still in class!) But Sunday is my Veg, eat "what I want" within reason and then back to the grind on Monday. It has only really been a week... But I feel confident.
ReplyDeletePeggy - THANK YOU! Love you also! Hopefully 50+lbs by Summer.
Also, I only do about 20 minutes a day, plus regular activity - I know eventually I will have to ramp this up, but I'm doing this slowly. Its a moderate bike ride in the morning, and walking during the day. Plus stairs. Did you know you can burn calories by writing? Weird. (hand writing I assume)
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteSo on the whole of the internet i happened to click your name on loseit.(send a request)
You are doing great, and reading this just made me wanna hug you...not in a weird way, in a "imma be her friend, because she knows hyperbole and a half".
I have about 30kg to lose, lets do this!
