I have lost 2 pounds so I feel on top of the world today! I feel like I can keep going. It is motivating to lose weight. I also found myself a workout partner this weekend. My dear friend Jenn is going to workout with me 3 days a week. She has P90x and I have always wanted to try it but not pay for it. Win Win guys. We will start on Wednesday morning and I am really excited.
I need to start planning out my exercises in advance. I don't get a really good workout in when I find one last minute. This morning I decided to do some weight lifting for 15 minutes. I used 10 pound weights and I did a lot of arm stuff. I kept to about 8-12 reps each arm and mixed up different ways of using the weights. I also did a few varieties of push ups and sit ups. I know I could have done a better workout if I had planned it out ahead of time. Still I did something, right?
I also need to make goals for myself. Of course I have the goal of losing 20 pounds, but I need mini goals within that huge goal. I need to reward myself for the little accomplishments (but not with food). I saw somewhere to give yourself $1 each time you workout. Then after 100 workouts take yourself out to buy new clothes or shoes or get a manicure or something. I thought that was a great idea. I am not financially able to do that at the moment, so I need to come up with some kind of reward for myself sticking to the plan and eating well.
I used this website as a guideline for my workout today. It is really neat. You click on the body part you want to workout and it tells you exercises you can do to work on it.
My goal today is to plan out my workouts for the rest of the week.
