Determined once again

So Saturday I weighted in and only lost .4oz. Lost a total of 8lbs in 5 weeks. Current weight is 162.4.  I do not know the cause of my slow progress now, but I am thinking it has to do a lot with my workouts. Normally I do Turbo Fire 4xs a week and change from Fire 45 and Fire 55.. But I think its now time to kick it up a notch and add more cardio in. I am thinking maybe adding a FULL 60 minutes of exercising 5xs a week. Its kinda hard for me since Fridays are my days that I am with my kids and family doing stuff.. But I guess a walk or a run is better than nothing.

This week I plan on focusing on a few things:
1. Working out 60 minutes
2. Workout 5xs a week
3. Log ALL my food in
4. Keep an eye on portions
5. Blog

The good thing is that my husband is now on my side and is now trying to eat healthy which makes it so much easier for me. His food is AMAZING!! I swear he cooks so good....

Will continue posting my progress to share with everyone who is reading my blogs.

Day 1 of TurboFire

So I revamped my workout as well as my goals for July.  I so forgot what staying accountable did for me and how having a soul mate workout is so important. I learned that from Chalene Johnson, creator of TurboJam, TurboKick and so many AMAZING workouts.  I have to admit, I was steering in another direction in regards to my fitness and weightloss goals. I again wanted something fast that will work... Forgot the importance of exercising and eating healthy.  In addition to that, I felt something was missing inside of me.  Well I decided a few days a go and after talking to Mindy Wender, Beachbody Coach, how I needed to workout AGAIN and how I had forgotten the importance to eating healthy... My Gosh, Yea I know right.. I mean I am not over weight.. Still in my 160's but then again I have come a long way from being 230lbs and I know what it takes to break the plateou ... Anyway, Here are my thoughts for the month, goals, etc...

JULY GOALS:

-Break my 160lbs Mark!!
Been 160 for years now and I am ready to hit the mid 150's.
-Workout at least 5xs a week
- TurboFire Workouts and Tone It Up's Fat Blaster and there Booty Calls
- Blog Daily (if possible) about my food, challenges, workouts
- Inspire Others (So important to me)

So yesterday I did Fire 30.. Was going to combine it with Fat Blaster by Tone It Up, but I felt like I over ate and was sooooo bloated. So I just finished the 30 min of that workout and that was it. It felt good going back to my workout that I love. I somewhat feel sore from my back, but it's all good.

As far as eating, here were my meals:
M1: Coffee with Fat Free French Vanilla mix, Organic Oatmeal
M2: BBQ Popped chips
M3: Lentil Soup
M4: Tilapia with 1/2 of baked potato and squash
M5: banana

I was not hungry in between my M3 and M4 so I did not eat anything in between.

Feel's good to be back in the game, blog about my continued weightloss journey, and hopefully inspire others!!!

Toodles!
