I've been enjoying the challenge of 30 Day routines. I've planned a three Phase routine. I am presently in Phase I, which is 30 days of RI30 or 30DS. Right now, I am in Level 3. I just bought 6 Week, 6 Pack to ad for Level 4 of RI30. Phase I requires me to use 3 lb weights. I've also been doing a lot of modifications due to plantar fasciitis. My right foot is killing me. I don't think it is just the exercise. It is the heaviness in my body. I shouldn't be in so much pain and discomfort at 37-years-old. Advil is my friend.

Hubby created a TV zone with left over TVs. These used to be the children's nursery TVs when they were nursing, I would use them to watch TV in the middle of the night. TVs came out in preschool. Now, they are my morning news TV while on the machines. The other is my DVD TV for all those DVDs you see beside it. I'm very happy that he did this for me. It would have been his man cave, but I appreciate that he did this for me.

Here are my DVDs. I don't love them all. I would say that the top four are my go to videos for right now. Phase II and III will still require me to use Jillian's videos. I've been trying to incorporate Yoga, but there aren't enough hours in the day or enough energy coursing through my body to give me the physical motivation to get a second workout done in my day. I usually work out at 5 a.m., unless it is the weekend and will do it much later.
Eating: Not so great lately. I am stressed and overwhelmed. I am still trying to reduce the white carbs, but I eat what I have available. I've been making a lot of salads with a variety of raw veggies: cabbage, beets, broccoli, carrots, and lettuces. Wishing I could do better with lean meats, but I will work harder.
Weight Loss: I've lost almost 10 lbs. However, my poor eating these last few days has me gaining 3 lbs and I feel a tad bloated with my cycle coming soon. I am trying to get to 199 lbs. I am tired of being over 200. I feel like I can't get out of this number. I am hopeful that I will get to 199 by the end of Phase I; in 11 days.
Today, I watched a marathon of MTV's "I Used To Be Fat." Teenagers losing weight the summer before college. It has taken me back to my teenage years. My mom was so unsupportive of weight loss. She was very controlling over my safety and refused to let me exercise outside of the house or join a team. Many of the parents on the show were similarly unsupportive. Having my mother living with me has me feeling like I am 16 again. It is not her fault. I am an adult that makes choices, but sometimes your sixteen-year-old self makes a long term appearance.
Where do you work out? What is your ideal workout zone?
You have a pretty cool workout collection, I wish I was super disciplined enough to work out at home! Keep up the good work, and I hope you have a better eating week this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nellie.
ReplyDeleteI like the convenience of home workouts because of my chaotic home life, but would love to get out to a Yoga Studio or a gym for a boot camp or body pump class. I feel like having other people around me gives me more motivation. This challenge has increased my motivation, though.
It sounds like you are in a good groove with the workouts! Keep it up and you will be at your goal before too long :)
