Long time no blog again!

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!

Kettlenetics 20 min.

I am back sitting down and working out. I'm having a bad foot day. Today I did the 20 minute Kettlenetics. It's been a low energy day for sure. I'm hoping to get a good night's sleep so I can have energy tomorrow.

Keep pushing play!

:O)

Back on my feet for a little bit!

Today I did Hip Hop Abs Full Body Burn and for the beginning part up through the squats, I was on my feet! I couldn't do any moves that were one footed so I just bopped along, but I was able to do the squats. Yay, some cardio!

I am starting to see a little bit of results. More toning and clothes fitting a little better. I guess I'll keep going! :O)

I didn't have the greatest week with only 3 days of workouts, but I ate pretty well, lower calories for less movement.

Have a great weekend!

More of the same...

My foot is still not ready to be used, so I am still doing a lot of floor work and such. Yesterday I did the Kettlenetics Flowmotion 20 minute workout. Not bad for being on the floor only, but definitely didn't get enough legs. The swinging motions do help get the heart rate up a little too.

Last night I went to a hockey game on my crutches. To get to my seats and back to the lot, that was a little bit of a workout for me.


Today, I finally took the wrap off of Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones. I did about 30 minutes worth of the circuits, and I did get an all over body workout with a little heart rate elevation. Without the legs though, I'm certainly missing out.

So despite the injury, I continue to do what I can. I notice that my muscles are toning up, however, the layer of flab is still over them. I'm hoping that once I can do cardio again that it will simply melt off no problem.

Keep pushing play, no matter what!

Back at it...

I took one day off on Thursday. On Friday I did some band floor work and then used the kettlebell to do some core moves.

Today, I did hip hop total body on the floor. I'm now walking with a wrapped foot. It's good to not have to get around on crutches anymore. I'm slow, but moving.

I'm hoping that in two weeks I will be back to working out on my feet, slowly though. I really miss the full cardio effect.

Time to grab some lunch and hit the showers!

Keep pushing play even if you are gimpy like me...

Fitnfun :O)

Hip Hop Abs kind of day!

I've been a little lazy the past couple of days getting used to crutches and all. Like that is an excuse! Today I am back at it. I did as much as I could on the floor of Hip Hop Abs Total Body with Shaun T. I only had to skip the squats and cardio segment. My abs are really feeling it.

I did work up a little bit of a sweat, so I know I was working. I do miss the cardio though and am in need of researching about how to get cardio when you can't stand up.

Keep pushing play out there!

Fitnfun :O)

Oh...forgot about posting after Biggest Loser...

I forgot to post after the Biggest Loser. I did indeed do a 1 hour workout. I did 45 minutes of Nordic Track and then 15 minutes of band work. Watching the competitors working out kept me going. If they can do it, I surely can.

This was pre-injury...see my post below for the current news.
