I wish I could just go for a nice run like most of you but it's incredibly painful and I'm pretty sure it has to do with my low blood pressure. So I've resorted to my 8 years of conditioning in gymnastics to create my own little routine. It's fun to be back in the metaphorical saddle again.
In other news, I've cut down my soda intake to one a day...which has been helpful in the "eating right" department.
In "Brand was right" news...Brand always thought that despite my love of junk food, I wasn't eating enough calories every day. Thanks to a handy dandy Android App (My Fitness Pal if you are looking for a handy calorie counter) I found out that I'm short about 200-500 calories a day! Sheesh! So I've been working on that which is really hard when you're trying to eat right but I'm looking for a healthier lifestyle in all arenas.
Speaking of which...I'm hungry...I'm going to eat some cookies (Thanks mama Adams!)
ha! working out makes me feel young!!! i too wish i could get outdoors to run, but my knees don't allow that. i've grown to love my elliptical and weights. i have tons of dvd's and am always looking for more. and do you really use 30lb weights!??
ReplyDeleteNo I don't use those weights haha. It's just what I had lying around to take a picture. Maybe someday I'll be back to them though! At my peak I was quite the muscle-lady. Couldn't really tell though because I wore Julie's baggy hand-me-downs haha.
ReplyDeleteI want an elliptical so bad but we're going to wait on that..I have a list of demands of things I'll need when I have babies and an elliptical is one of them haha.
sounds like you are trying to get in shape for a very physically grueling ordeal...hmmmm...perhaps a cousin for ollie?????
ReplyDeleteYou wish Josh!! weirdo...
