Adventures in Life and Writing

So, I’m not really going to go in depth like normal since I’m now tracking everything on SparkPeople.  But, since I weighed in the first day there, I’m down 2lbs!  Yay!  I’m messing around with my diet and adjusting things (I’m now moving to a low sodium diet).

I’ve joined a challenge to lose 8lbs in May!  If I’m successful I’ll actually be one pound lighter than I was when I quit doing Jenny Craig (super awesome).  I’d love it if I actually managed to lose more, and I might simply because I’m pretty sure I’m caring a fair amount of water weight which should come off with the low sodium diet.

I also think I’ve stepped up my workouts.  I started wearing the pedometer again and I’m pushing to get 7500+ steps a day.  This pretty much means I not only go for a 30-60 minute walk, but I’m also doing cardio videos.  I’m still lifting weights and I even added a lower body routine, which I wasn’t doing before.

I’m still planning on doing the Sweatsuit to Swimsuit Bootcamp at SparkPeople, which starts tomorrow!  I also started Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred today.  I’ll be using that along with 30-60 minute walks daily.  I’m also going to do the 10ish minute workouts from SparkPeople each day.   I will also be attempting to do my strength training routines as well, but I may end up cutting them out or creating a rotating schedule depending how it works out between that and the 30 Day Shred.

I also started using my Wii Fit again!  It’s fun.  I’m still working on unlocking some of the strength training poses, but my guess is I probably won’t use the ones I can’t unlock right now anyway.  I also unlocked the free run/jog last night so now I can turn that on for 30 minutes or so and grab my iPod and just rock out when it’s too cold to go outside or just too late at night.

So, all in all, I’m still feeling very pumped up about exercising and losing weight!
