I'm back! After 6 months of a broken foot situation, I finally have clearance to workout. I can do low impact, biking, pilates, most yoga, etc.
I'm working on getting in shape for the 40 mile Livestrong event in Austin. Lately I do a bike ride twice a week and then supplement with spinning and low impact/toning on the other days. I'm looking to get back to at least the weight I was before the accident. This means I have about 6 -10 pounds to lose. After that, I want to work on the final 10 pounds I was at before. I think I can do it this time. After not moving about for such a long time, I'm more motivated than before since I am grateful that I'm able to.
I'll be sure to check in with my workouts and accomplishments. So far, I have lost 3 pounds! I'm hoping to lose 3 more pounds within the next 2 weeks.
Sunday I did Hip Hop Abs and took a 40 minute walk. Monday I did my Flex Band workout. Today I started off with the Kettlebell workout, and I will add some spinning or a bike ride if the weather allows. So, I'm off to a good start this week.
I found an app for my iPhone called Myfitness Pal. It's an easy way to keep track of calories and the calories you have burned. I discovered that although I eat the right types of foods, I am eating a little too much. I need to scale back by about 200-400 calories per day along with the workouts to create a bigger deficit.
With my new knowledge and new attitude, I think this will be the time I get back to a healthier lifestyle. This time it's for keeps!
