VP Health & Fitness

I can’t believe that I’ve been keeping this journal up for 3 weeks now. AMAZING!!! Blogging is becoming a habit now, much like working out is.
So, I took my BEFORE pictures today and I didn’t realize that I was THAT bad. (VERY bad) I’m planning to take a total of 6 pictures every 26th of the month until my goal is reached. I’m a bit behind schedule since I didn’t take the 1st pictures until I was 3 weeks into my program, but oh well… those will have to do. Although the pictures were bad, I am more motivated than ever to get back into the fit and lean body that I used to have!!! I have pictures of that too, and have them posted were I can see them.

I have a lot of work to do & my goal is to complete my transformation in 6 L-O-N-G months. September 19th is the MAGICAL day…
One downside that I can think of is that I am very impatient. I like to see FAST results & if I don’t see fast results, I get very discouraged. I’m working on changing that mentality this time around. It didn’t take 2 months for my body to get this way & i’m positive that it won’t take 2 months to be a fitness model either. They say slow and steady wins the race, right? Progress, not perfection is the key. A 1-2 pound loss per week is what I’m looking for… about 8-10 pounds per month. YIKES! I’m already freaking out…

At least i’ll be 20 lbs. lighter for my 1 year anniversary. Not too bad. It’ll be an occasion to celebrate!

Anyhow… enough brain thoughts for now… here is Day 15 recap:

• 6.5 hours of sleep
• Calories burned- CFP workout (running, sprints, skips, lunges, squats, but kicks, high knees, bleacher sprints) outside on the track. 15 minute Ab routine. OUCH!!!
  • TOTAL minutes = 60 minutes
  • TOTAL calories burned = 549
• 6864 steps walked (1:31:12)
• Water- Good! 6 (20 oz.) bottles so far
• Eating- Good.
  • Breakfast- 3 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 WW slice of bread
  • Snack - yogurt, almonds
  • Lunch - 3 oz. of chicken, 1/4 cup of brown rice, 1/4 cup of beans, green olives, 1 tomato
  • Snack - 1 fiber bar, string cheese
  • Dinner - Homade chicken soup w/veggies & 1 cup of rice
  • Dessert - 2 Dark Chocolate Squares

I was planning to go to the gym tonight, but I didn’t have any more energy… the workout this afternoon was really tough!!!

Will leave upper body strength training for tomorrow as well as cardio.

Good night!
