Ok first off, I know it's been a good while since I last posted anything. I blame good ol' laziness for that one. Truth is, I fell of the wagon. So far off the wagon that at one point I know I ate Taco Bell for dinner 3 nights in a row, fast food was practically every meal and I was doing a whole lot of nothing. I gained back 10 lbs because of this. Not only that I felt like shit.
I'm now on day three of my new workout regime and closing in on the week mark of my new diet. The hubby and I are going with a low carb approach. It seemed to fit seeing as everything we ate was LOADED with carbs. We were probably taking in 150-250 grams of carbs a day, and that's a conservative guess. Now, we're averaging at about 50 or so carbs a day. I'm also watching my calories and keeping them under 1600 a day.
For the workout, I got a 30 free pass to Anytime Fitness as a park of their COAK pledge, I'm not sure if it is still available but you can get a 7 day pass. Our location is very reasonably priced at about $35 a month. I've been doing an hour of cardio everyday, and every 3rd day doing 30 minutes of weights. I am honestly surprised at how well I've been able to keep up on the cardio. Every time I've tried to workout at home, 10 minutes in I convince myself that I've done enough and I can stop. Then I do. The weights honestly kicked my ass this morning, I feel like jello from the chest up. But I know that will get better soon!
I weigh in tomorrow, just so we're all clear my starting weight was 243, so we'll see how it's going! My goal is to be under 200lbs by January and then to 150 hopefully by my birthday in June.
Do you find yourself better motivated at home or at the gym?
