Hi all,
2017 is going to be my get fit year. Claire is already 2.5 so it's become embarrassing for me to say I'm still trying to lose my baby weight. :) I've come to point where I am the heaviest I've ever been and not as comfortable in my own skin. I see my "skinny" clothes in my closet which is a depressing reminder of where I'd like to be. I want to be able to wear them again! I am going to be a better version of myself and want to take you along the way with me.
I will post every Friday with what I did for the past week to stay fit. Since this is the first Friday I will use X as my starting weight and move down from X as I go.
Here is my plan:
Healthy Eating:
I am following The Whole 30 plan which eliminated carbs, dairy, sugar, legumes, etc and goes back to healthy eating of real food. It's a strict plan but has results. I did it last year and lost about 13lbs in 45 days with no exercise.
Exercise:
Working out a minimum of 4 days a week. I signed up for Beachbody's video streaming and enjoy doing the T25 workouts. They are fast paced and intense, but only last 25 mins. This is a busy mom's dream come true. Plus the cool down is less than 5 mins so you can do a complete workout in under 30 mins!
I am also happy to say that I signed up for my first half marathon: ShapeHalf in the spring . No, I am not a runner but will be by then. :) I'm following Shape's beginner training plan and will keep you posted on my progress. My goal is to run as much as possible and finish the 13.1 miles.
Sleep:
I am a night owl and never get 8 hours of sleep so I'm going to make it a priority to get the recommended daily amount. So goodbye nightly tv.
Water:
Another area I struggle with as I don't drink nearly enough water, sometimes 2 cups a day. I am setting a reminder for myself to drink at least 6 cups a day.
Vitamins:
I will take my vitamin at least 5 times a week.
I feel good about these changes and know that it will make a difference in my appearance and overall well-being. Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted on my progress.
Happy reading!
