Hi ladies! I've been on vacation and now I really need to come here for some support so I can get back on track!! Gained a few pounds because I ate horribly for over a week. I did sorta work out. I did crunches and worked on my arms. Didn't do any real cardio, just relied on our activities like swimming and playing on the beach to count for that. Now that I'm back (4 days) I haven't done much of anything. I did walk yesterday on my two breaks at work (a mile total) and I started a low carb diet yesterday as well. I was just previously watching my calories and working out atleast 5 times a week. My workout usually consists of a walk with the kids to the park or while they ride bikes. I like to pull them in the wagon to get some extra resistance. I also do crunches and arms at home (with an exercise ball and hand weights). I do have a gym membership but I haven't had any time to get there in probably 2 months. So, I do what I can at home.
I decided I needed to lose my vacation weight and I wanted to lose more after vacation anyways. So, I decided to do the carb diet b/c my husband has done it in the past. He always has great results (typical for a guy). But mainly I'm doing it because I can't get him to do anything else with me. I really want his support, I feel it will be easier if we are doing the same thing. When I was watching my calories he would ask to go for ice cream, or want to take the kids to the pizza buffet. Hopefully he'll stick to this with me. I also told him it would be fun for us to work out together too. So, we'll see about that. He doesn't like to walk much so maybe he'll atleast go to the gym with me if we get the opportunity or do some other things at home that I've been doing. I'd like to see some decent results from the low carb thing. I want to do it for atleast 4-6 weeks. Then once I'm happy with some results from that I want to slowly introduce carbs and then maintain a low calorie eating habits to maintain with a regular work out. How does that sound? Well, my birthday is September 28th and I would LOVE to drop to sizes by then. I can do it!! I think I would be satisfied with my appearance then. I already have a boost in my self esteem by losing 2 sizes already. I think if I lose 2 more I think I would be happier with a more toned body and even that much more energy to play with my kids!
