Getting Healthy
Tue, December 4, 2007 - 8:51 AM
So I have made a committment to myself to change the way I eat and to lost weight and just generally improve my health. Mat and I joined Gold's Gym about two weeks ago, and I think it was the best thing we could ever have done. We have been meeting with personal trainers, and they have been setting us up on a workout routine, and teaching us how to eat healthy. Since we started I have been in the gym 3-4 times a week doing cardio and weight training, and I feel great except for some soreness. I have lost 10 lbs!! Eating healthy has been a little bit of a challenge, but now my body craves the healthy stuff, and even the smell of greasy fattening stuff makes me nauseous. And its so much easier then I thought it would be. Eating whole grains, reduced fat, and lots of fruits and veggies is about the gist of it. That and no more Mt Dew...that was hard but now it tastes awful to me.
My goals are:
To lost about 10 more lbs ( I want to fit size 6 pants again)
Gain muscle and tone, esp in the abs and glutes
Be able to run on the treadmill for an hour without having to stop cause I can't breathe
Most importantly I want to prepare my body , for pregnancy, since we are planning to start trying in Jan/Feb
So yeah. Hopefully all this working out will help with my dancing too, giving me the muscles to power the moves, and making me look better doing them.
