~Monday Goal Link Up~

I have had a FANTASTIC week! I received my BodyMedia device last Monday and WOW! Can you say life changing! It keeps me so on track.  Worth EVERY  penny! I have hit my targets on it EVERY single day!  AND to top it off the scale has finally moved - I am down 3lbs this week!!!! I don't know the last time that I did that.

Sooo drumroll please..........

Goal One - Be more accountable and log in MFP - Freaking Nailed it!! every single day and every single bite.  Have stayed within my calorie goal EVERY day!

Goal Two - Do something out of my comfort zone - I went for a walk on the nature trail by myself this past week.


 I am so proud of myself!

But my proudest moment of the week came when my daughter (9) decided she wanted to go running with me outside today - So glad my choices are rubbing off on my kids :) Means I must be doing a little something right.

Now for this weeks goals:

Goal One - Have a 1000 calorie deficit daily.  (burn 1000 more than I consume)

Goal Two - Try a new workout from Skinny Megs Wednesday Link UP

~ If you fall down - get up and brush yourself off cause every breath is a second chance ~

~WW Skinny Meg Link-UP~

Sorry Skinny Meg your button should be here but I couldn't get the link to work.....

I Know, I know I promised this last week and didn't get it done.  I thought I would share my killer leg workout that I do at home. This workout makes me want to die and call my mommy to help me.  By the end I crumble to the floor to stretch it out.

Warm Up:

15 minutes on the treadmill, bike or just dance around like a lunatic (I have done the latter).  If I do the bike or treadmill then I will do 3 minutes at a warm up pace, then do 30sec to 1 min intervals of as fast as these little legs of mine will go and then equal amount of going really slow, reapeat for 10 minutes and then take 2 minutes to cool it back down a little so you don't have a heart attack when you step off the machine.

Leg Workout - I use Heavy weights 15lb dumbells.  Do 8-12 reps and do the entire workout 3X

Weighted Squats
Weighted Walking Lunges (20 rep) These are also named "Hell" and will make you want to curse
Weighted Plie Squats
Weighted Step ups
Standing Latereral Leg raises
Standing Calf Raises
Wall Sits - 60 Seconds - You will want to Die

Cool down - For Pete's sake - make sure you stretch that shit out!

Not for the faint of heart!

Ok ya'll I am seriously bad at completing my goals! Ugg it is so frustrating. Mondays come and I picture a fantastic goal in my head for the week, write it down and put it out there. Then by Tuesday I always seem to fall off the wagon.   Especially the food part of the goals.  Exercise I am pretty bang on right now.  Like, really WTF?  It makes me question whether I am really committed to changing my life.   I truly am.  I have made a ton of changes over the last few months.  I love myself NOW. Not 100+ lbs from now.  That feels great.  I have stopped crying over every lbs not lost.  I don't stress about it, I am just focusing of actually living and trying new things and enjoying every moment with my family.

With that being said here are my goals for this week:

Goal 1 - Be more accountable - My Body Media has arrived!  I will be logging my food through MFP and it syncs with Body Media - So far I am loving it! A real eye opener.  I promise I will do a post on it later in the week.

Goal 2 - Do something outside of my comfort zone.  I don't know what it will be - maybe play pool or golf or just something new that I don't normally do.

It's that time of the week to once again link up with Jess over at www.operationskinnyjeans.com



Last weeks goals were:

No Fast Food - I have had a super duper bad eating week,  Nowhere's even close to kicking this goals ass

Finish week 1 of 5K training - Guess I jumped the gun on running -shocking :( I just missed it sooo bad.  but at least I know once it is fully healed that at least I still know HOW to run.  It's like riding a err bike.

So here is to fresh beginnings!

Food Goal - Log all food into MyFitnessPal

Exercise Goal - I made a new workout schedule (I will share the routine on Wednesday for my next link up) and I would like to be able to get through the whole weeks plan with at least one full set a day. 

Now my week will also be spent err patiently waiting for my BodyMedia Fit Link to arrive. I am so excited.  I can't wait to see everything that it tracks and see how far off my estimates were and maybe figure out why the pounds aren't budging as much as I would like to see.  But that is ok too cause my inch loss has been phenomenal! 

PS Follow my blog - I will follow you back!

Hey Everyone.

I have had a fantastic week! I managed to hit both my goals.  Just to recap they were:

Drink more water - Really water is a cheat goal for me cause I drink a ton of it all the time.  However, I wanted to make the conscious effort to do it.

A different workout every day plus swim 3 time - 99%  done.  Got a different workout in everyday but I only got to the pool twice.

The best part of my week......Was being able to start RUNNING AGAIN!!!! WOO HOO! I love to run, it is my therapy, my alone time - It makes me feel like a freaking Rockstar!   Due to one injury after another last year, I have not been able to run in almost 11 months and have done Physio since December.  I finally am feeling like I can start again - Thank goodness! Starting slow and listening to my body more this time.  I don't ever want to end up in a mess like that again. Achilles tendonitis + Plantar Fascitis + Shin Splints is no fun. 

Check Out my goals for this week

Goal 1: No Fast Food - if I get stuck eating at a fast food restaurant my choice will be a Salad

Goal 2: Finish week 1 of my running program & Work up to be able to do a plank for 1.5 minutes

Have a happy week!
