That's french for "Hello my friends", just in case you were wondering.
I apologize for my absence in the blogosphere lately. It appears this new school routine is kicking my ass and I am having a tough time finding the time to sit down at the computer.
I am also back at the gym working out three days a week.
Insanity.
I managed to remain steady at 33 pounds weight loss throughout the summer. I didn't lose any more, but I didn't gain any either which is huge considering I didn't exercise at all. Now my mission is to tone my flabby thighs and raise my buttocks so it looks like I have a bum instead of droopy Mom buttocks. Hmph.
My plan is this.
*Gym three days a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I will drive my droopy butt to the the gym. I will start with 15 minutes of hard cardio.
"Hard cardio" means I am going to get on the elliptical at a high level and get my heart pumping and sweat dripping. Attractive, I know.
I will then complete a circuit of weight machines working on both my upper and lower body. While enduring this Hell, I will groove out to tunes on my Ipod and maybe sing loud enough for others to look at me strangely.
It's ok. I am used to it.
I might even dance my way to each machine just to change it up abit.
Don't judge.
After I am finished the weights I will then head over to the cardio area again and do 15 more minutes.
Then do 3 sets of 25 sit ups.
And stretching.
*I will continue to eat healthy high protein meals balanced with healthy carbs and fats.
*I will not eat processed, prepackaged foods {often}
*I will stay away from soda {as much as I can}
*I will only drink water
So that's it. That is my plan. I don't have any number goals because I am happy with my current weight. What I want is to be toned. I want to lose the softness. I want to lose inches.
Who is going to join me??? No pressure. I am thinking we can just be there for each other and help one another stay motivated to just BE HEALTHY.
Deal?

This is a great idea. Over the summer I walked every day with my little 4 yr old on his bike, so I have to walk fast, right? Well, it lifted my bum like you wouldn't believe. Even my husband noticed. ;) The problem now is Canadian winters... how to keep some form of daily exercise despite the snow. I don't have a gym membership, but I do have a TaeBo dvd and 2 mornings a week (Evan in preschool), so that counts, right? I also have stairs in my house which I climb approximately 40 thousand times a day.
I guess what I mean to say is: I'll join you!
This is a good plan. I need a similar plan ... and lose the 33 pounds that you already lost before I begin toning. Good luck!
Deal. I'm still trying to lose about 10 more pounds (at 22 right now) so I need to keep going too!
Let's do it!!
Go You! I think that's so great! I've lost weight this summer too, also without exercise. I know I NEED to exercise, I know I SHOULD exercise, but I have a hard time with it. I hope you can inspire me!
