So today marks week 5 since I've started working out and attempting to eat right in order to lose 20 pounds in 10 weeks. I do not have a scale so I have no idea if I've lost the 10 pounds I hope i have! However, it might be a good thing. I have no chance to be discouraged by a number when I know in my head that I'm making my body stronger and healthier.
My goal continues to be to work out 6 times a week. At the beginning of the week my goal was to do a 45 min. cardio workout and a 20 min. ab workout each day. It just wasn't happening. There's no point in my day where I can have 45 minutes of uninterrupted time. It was a frustration for me and the kids, not to mention I had to shower after and they were going crazy by the time I was done with that. So I decided to do the 20 min. cardio workout and 20 min. abs each day. I can get away with 2 different 20 minute periods of time. It's not as much as I want, but it's what I can do right now. This morning I even woke up early enough to work out before the kids were awake! I was thrilled that baby Gid did not wake wake up until the last 3 minutes of my workout.
Dan is all excited about my getting in shape. He's always encouraging me and telling me that I'm getting smaller. Apparently I have an hour glass shape from the back again...it's been awhile since I had one of those! ha! I love that he supports me. He's also started doing a new workout program called Insanity (I'm sure you've seen the info-mercial) and is looking leaner himself!
Today I'll measure inches again and see if I've lost any. last week I had not, but I can feel myself getting stronger so I am not discouraged...maybe this week.
