8:38pm: I am pretty excited and feeling motivated. I just ordered about 7 new workouts on Netflix. I have plenty of blank tapes (pulled a coupon from Walgreen's this week, 99 cents each on Sony blank tapes!!). I am ready to pump it up. Walking is great for days when I want to take a break, but I am ready to branch out into higher intensity stuff. So I am going to try some shorter kickboxing stuff, the Biggest Loser programs, and walk at the end and on my lower intensity days for variety. I just really want to mix it up... I want to get these last 10-11 pounds off!!! Walking would be great for maintenance mixed in with regular strength training.
GOAL: lose the rest of this weight by December 1.
10:15am: I just ordered Vol. 2 of the Biggest Loser workouts...for $9.63. I already have volume 1 and its great. I figured it would be hard to tape because its a build-your-own workout type deal, not a straight through thing. I think I will do volume 1 tomorrow. That ought to be a butt-kicker!!
I have to say, the scale does not appear to be moving. My muscles are growing, I know, but it is still frustrating to be working so hard and still have to wait this long to see the numbers go down. But I feel great, I fit into stuff better, and I know the numbers will move as my muscles get more conditioning and they "learn" how to burn fat.
I added 25 miles to my miles goal for STEP-tember... my goal was 100, which I will meet (and likely exceed) tomorrow, so I added a realistic 25 miles to that to meet and hopefully exceed by Tuesday, Sept. 30 (the end of the month!)
Workouts: 3-Mile neighborhood walk n' chat with Mom (NOT available on DVD!), 2-Mile Walk Down Your Blood Sugar walk afterward, with 1 lb handweights.
Breakfast: 1 banana before walk, after walk was 2 chicken wings, one 60-cal slice of colby jack cheese, two slices of watermelon, 1 whole wheat bagel (180 calories) with chive and onion cream cheese (used very little, as it is NOT low calorie!)... somewhere around 500 calories for entire meal. Good for breakfast.
Lunch: ca. 1/2 cup Basmati rice, one turkey bratwurst, black beans with tomatoes and seasoned ground beef, sprinkled with Mexican-blend cheese (just a pinch)
Dinner: leftovers from lunch. a cereal bowl with Basmati rice, and the black beans w/ tomatoes stuff. no cheese.
Dessert/snacks: none
Water: I definitely drank 64oz + today
Daily Vitamins: check
Nightly Vitamins: check
