Good morning fellow WISHers!
I'm back. Since my old journal is gone and I really need to kickstart my weight loss again, I thought I would start a new journal here. Since my last entry, I have gained about 8 pounds putting me at 212. I am really uncomfortable at this weight. My clothes are tight and I am just not feeling good about my healthy living journey. I have recently started a new program called 5 Factor Fitness. With this program, you can eat 5 meals a day, it takes 5 minutes to prep and cook these meals, (5) 5 minute phases in each workout, 5 workouts per week, and one cheat day per week! So far, I am working on the exercise portion first and I will add the meal portion somewhere down the road.
Today's workout consisted of:
* 5 minute cardio warmup
* 2 sets of 25 chest presses and forward/ backward lunges
* 5 minutes of abs
* 15 more minutes of cardio (only need 5 for the program)
I started this program Tuesday and I am still sore from that workout! I can just imagine what tomorrow may bring. That's good though because it means that these exercises are waking up my muscles a bit.
So, my goal is to lose 15 pounds by September 16th. That's the day we leave for WDW and free dining!!! I may adjust this goal a bit as the weeks go by because I may need some "insurance pounds" with that free dining!
Finally... to all of my WISH friends... I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately. Life has been very, very busy! I hope to get around to journals a couple of times a week from now on. Please know that I have been and will be WISHing you the best!
P.S. I chose the title for my journal based on the fact that I see my weight loss/healthy living as a journey where baby steps are key and where victories (no matter how small!) should be celebrated. Yes, there will be bumps in this journey, but if I take it step by step and day by day, I can make my goals!
Have a great day!
