I have moved my daily ramblings to my new blog site Fitness Success 4 You. Please take a moment and visit me! :-)

P90 Thoughts

I of course am in this to lose weight but right now my goals are all around the program, my progress (day 1 can do 8 pushups, day 90 can do 50 pushups or more) and completing the program. That is something I can control and success is guaranteed. With each success I keep pushing harder. I figure if I do the program and eat clean the weight will come of at a healthy pace.

In the past I wanted results now, that is not realistic. I know this is about a lifetime commitment of getting healthy and staying healthy. Now saying all of that I would like to see an 8-10lb loss each month. More than that I will be doing the happy dance less than that I will have to remind myself that I completed 30 days and that is a pretty big accomplishment too.

Keep Pushing Play!

Good Start

I have had a really good start this week. I did 7 miles yesterday on the bike and 8 miles today and got my water in for both days.

Made a Tilapia Fillet (4 ounces) today for lunch and really enjoyed it, only 98 calories, 0 carbs and 21 grams of protein.

I just put it in the oven at 350 for about 10-13 minutes, drizzeled extra light virgin olive oil, sprinkled garlic powder, black pepper, salt and red cayenne pepper. Very tasty and fast.

Keeping track

I am making a commitment to myself to track everything I put into my mouth. I will be weighing and measuring everything so there is no estimating. I will actually know how much I am consuming.

I am currently reading "Winning by Losing" by Jillian Michaels. I need to learn how to eat right for my body. How to plan healthy meals. I already know how to use my bike, treadmill, etc. It is the eating part that I need to get a handle on. I believe with journaling everything I eat, good or bad, I can start making some real changes within my life.

Keep moving forward!

30 Day Shred - Day 1

I am a beginner and just completed Day 1 Level 1 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I didn't have any weights for certain parts of the video so did the motions without the weights. I think my feet hurt more than anything. Might be time to get a new pair of shoes.

Overall it was a tough workout but I was able to complete. I was a little nervous going into it thinking I might not be able to finish it. She is very encouraging during the workout. Telling you what you need to hear just when you need it!
