You'll Be Seeing Less of Me - Part 13
Today marked the third week in a row that I made it to the gym 5 times! Yay, me! I am still not seeing the number on
the scale go down like I want to, but my clothes are getting looser and looser, and I can see muscle tone where there used to be almost none.
A typical workout for me consists of:
20 minute cardio warmup
30 or so minutes of weights
20 more minutes of cardio
Today I did upper body and I increased weights on several of the exercises that I do. I can consistently do sets of 12 pushups, and I plan to increase that number next week. I've been using caloriecount.about.com to keep up with my food intake and exercise, and I've found it to be very helpful. There are lists of exercises for each muscle group as well as grades for any food that I enter. It also give me a pie chart of what kinds of foods I've eaten and what percentage of my diet they make up- fats, carbs, protein. I typed in all of my information and my goals, and it gave me a daily calorie limit. I also was given a reasonable timeline to reach my goal weight. I find all of this very helpful because when I look at what I've eaten in a day it's much easier for me to improve upon it the next day. If you are looking for something to help you with your weight loss and/or fitness goals, I recommend this website highly.
To add another visual to the mix, I'm uploading a picture that was taken today not long after I got home from the gym. Pictures are always a good encourager to keep going to the gym!
