Ouch....

I can't win for losing sometimes. I completely enjoyed working out yesterday, but since I hurt my back in March, each time I have tried to workout after that, I seem to cause myself pain again. I can't decide if I need to continue working out and get that area stronger again or what. So very frustrating. I really want to workout today. I think my best bet is going to be to go for a walk. The day is already starting to get hot, so I maybe should have done that earlier this morning. Something to consider though, I love to walk at LaFortune, what a great thing to do on Tues/Thurs mornings, when I don't have to work...hmmm...I am definitely seeing that in my future mornings.

Working out makes me feel so GOOD!

This morning I got up at 6 a.m. and worked out to my Turbo Jam DVD, doing the 45 min cardio party mix. It was fun. I always feel so good after a workout. Why do I not always pull on that great feel-good feeling when I don't want to get up to workout. Well, I am going to try and do that now. Remember how I feel AFTER I work out and also, it is so much easier to make good food choices after you have worked out because who wants to mess up all that hard work? Yeah, not me.

Today has been a good day. I had a yummy great breakfast. My computer went on the fritz at home yesterday. Lucky for me the computer guy was coming to the office, so I was able to bring my computer in with me. I got it fixed and it didn't cost me anything. Thank you to Wayne for that one!

Things got a little rough as the day progressed. I have had some ongoing back problems that seem to flare up everytime I workout. I am not pleased by this. Yesterday it was bad. It really feels like a nerve problem b/c it was going down my leg. I could feel it in my left hip and knee. It's very strange. For now, I will monitor. I finally found some comfort sometime after 9 p.m. Needless to say, the second workout of the day, yeah, that didn't happen. I will try for something again tomorrow.

It's a Slippery Slope....I want off!

I am so tired of this "diet" game. I have to get through this thick skull of mine that I am not embarking on a "diet". I am working on being healthy and strong, physically fit. Physically fit has never been something I have been but it is want I really want to be. I am setting some new (and old) goals to get me down this road.

Beginning today, June 5, 2011, and ending August 27, 2011 (that's 12 weeks) , my goal is to lose 30 pounds. That amounts to 2+ pounds per week. That's HUGE! OMgosh!! But I am going to do it. I am kicking up my workout time. Doing this in the summer is really smart. First of all, because I don't have to get up as early to workout and I have the time at the end of the day to do another workout. My afternoon workout won't be a huge lengthy one, but it will include some sort of movement.

My current short term goals for the next 30 days:

1. Eating properly/tracking all my food

2. Getting in two-a-day workouts

3. 199 pounds

4. Posting my food journal each day

5. August 27 -- 183 pounds!

Doing Weight Watchers, my total points for the day is 29. I am also alotted 49 FlexPoints for the week. I am going to try and stay out of the FlexPoints arena, as I will use that more for the creamer that goes in my coffee in the morning! Five fruits/veggies; two milk; two oil; six waters.
