Update!

Soooo it has been one week! I am proud to say that I did do my work out 4 times this week. However, I cheated a teeny-tiny bit and used volleyball night to count as one of the nights.... even though I should be doing the 30 minute workout 4x's a week and volleyball night is once a week... BUT I checked my weight and I have lost 2 lbs.... soooo that is good! It isn't much? But it is a start! Little steps make BIG differences in the long run right?! (RIGHT).

SOOO here is my workout schedule...
Remember it is 4x's a week for 30 minutes...

Monday: 30 minutes on the elliptical at resistance of 4 OR do 2 miles which equals out to burning about 300 calories!

Tuesday: 30 Minutes on the treadmill. keep the pace faster... not to where you are running but you need to feel like you are about to start....

Wednesday: VOLLEYBALL night... I play for about 4 hours... a blast AND my legs feel it!

Thursday: 30 Minutes on the bicycle. Resistance of about 4 or 5 (level 4-ish)

Friday: 30 Minutes on the stairmaster... this one is gonna kick your butt I promise. I have only done it ONCE and I wanted to die afterwords. BUT big pain=big payoff.

Saturday and Sunday are free-be days to do what you like...walks... little bit of free-weight work. HOWEVER, it does NOT mean you can go off and eat like cow in springtime.

Which brings me to my next point... THE DIETING... bleehhhh.... However I have a few fun solutions to help with the horrible diet blues...

1. Tuna fish IN WATER. Grilled tuna, plain tuna, dress it up with a teeny-tiny bit of LIGHT mayo... or even some pickle relish. JUST A TAD of it... not swimming in it.
Toss it on a cracker or some wheat toast. mmmmmmm I love the crunchy of it! If you make a tuna sandwich... remember go easy on the mayo/miracle whip. don't be afraid of tossing on the lettuce or tomatoes.... veggies are our friends!

2. Fruit. Tasty. Sweet. Juicy. Delicious! I just got some oranges and they are sooooo great. Great price for a bag of them! Grapes are great! Cherries! Apples! Grapefruit! My mom always used to eat a grapefruit in the morning and I thought she was odd til I started this fruit and veggies bit...

3. Just remember that you only need one helping of something. Not seconds and thirds. Booo. I promise it will be rough at first, but you will adjust, your body will adjust and you will start feeling/seeing a difference. You won't want to eat til you can't walk, you won't want to snack all day because you will want to enjoy that meal! It really feels great!

4. Mind over matter... It was hard for me to get my butt off the couch and go work out, but I forced myself to do it. I would do it as soon as I got home from work so that way I had it completed and still had my evening to enjoy. Honestly the hardest part is just getting started. Once you are started it is easier to finish the work out. Ya just have to motivate yourself to start!

I know I was going to put the formula for the BMI on here however I have had a busy week and I didn't get a chance to get it from the Nutritionist, however I am putting it in my blackberry to do this week!

Hang in there everyone. I lost my 2 lbs this week. Small small small BUT add up a bunch of small small small and you get GREAT GREAT GREAT results!
