Day 17:
I didn't weigh in today but who knows I may do a midnight weigh in again lol (what a nut!). However, I will be taking measurements again tomorrow :) and hopefully will see some changes for the better.
Food: Fail! I didn't plan the night before and that was a mistake as I did plan to work out and was supposed to take in 2,300 calories which I know I haven't and didn't get in any fruits. Also have not gotten in all of my water. I'm not sure what happened today food/water wise but it is what it is and I won't beat myself up over it. Move on to tomorrow.
Activity:
Tried my first day circuit workout from Phit-N-Phat's New Year New You plan and wow! I would normally try to do 3 rounds of the exercises and I made it one and barely one half before I was exhausted. I had to put the turkey in the oven by then and I gladly took that excuse besides a trip to the restroom to get my wind back.
Stability Ball Crunches 2 rounds of 20
Stationery Lunges w/ 5lb DB 2 rounds of 10 each leg
Standing Leg Lifts 2 rounds of 20 each leg
Glute Bridges 1 round of 20 (these are relatively easy so I should have continued to do another round of these)
Resistance Band Standing Walk 1 round of 2x20 steps
30 seconds of Mountain Climbers (not too bad)
1 minute Lateral Duck Under (left me winded with plyo jumps)
30 seconds Running Toe Taps (did it!)
1 minute Step Ups (did it, but I think my step was too high)
Took a break, started turkey for dinner, lots of interaction and interruptions from son and his friend who is over for the night.
Back down to the basement to do some more :)
Bicep Curls w/ 5lbs 2 sets of 20
Tricep kickbacks w/ 3lbs 1 set of 10 each arm, Tricep drops behind head w/ 3 lbs 1 set of 10 ea arm
Inclined Flys w/ 3 lbs 1 set of 20, w/ 5lbs 1 set of 20
Rows w/ 5 lbs 2 sets of 20 ea arm
Overhead Shoulder Press w/ 3lbs 2 sets of 20 (both arms)
Squats w/ 5lbs each hand 1 set of 10, w/ 5lbs feet wide 1 set of 10
Calf Raises w/ 5lbs each hand 2 sets of 10x3
Lunch :)
Back down for a 45 minute cardio - Walk Away the Pounds w/ 3lb dumbells
I saw a picture of the fire ceremony in which the prayer bundles were burned and released to spirit for handling and felt there go my excess pounds I asked to have release from I felt lighter already :)
I'm glad I worked out but felt like I only brought 70% to the workouts. I actually felt tired, which is not unusual to feel that way the day after these ceremonies, but its okay I loved it and I'm feeling strong tonight.
My goal for tonight plan plan plan!
Oh and I think hell may have frozen over, I cut up sweet potatoes, baby yukons, carrots and celery and roasted them in the oven for dinner and actually ate some. Oh and I now like the oatmeal (that didn't take long but I think I'll still try the Bob's Red Mill brand that is gluten free.)
I'm thinking I should try a gluten free diet for a few weeks and see if there are any differences in my body. One lady I met yesterday said that she had all sorts of things with her body clear up and lost 6 inches from her waist (I don't believe she made any other changes then to cut out Gluten). So many of us are allergic to it to some degree so I'm curious if I am. If so, its probably mild but could make some definate changes for my health and wellbeing.
Tomorrow: cardio only to include my Tae Bo, measurements, water and 2,300 calories (I can do it) and it seems so ungodly ridiculous that I'm having a hard time getting in all my calories and I've been overweight for almost every year of my life except maybe between the ages of birth and 4 and that year when I was 39 lol.
