Greetings. It's been awhile again, I just need to focus on blogging again for awhile and make it a habit again. It helps keep me on track more, as I hold myself accountable through the entire act of blogging. Also it hopefully helps people somewhere out there.
I've been thinking of renaming this blog some, and/or actually moving it to a more widely used blog site. Which would make it easier for people to comment, etc. If they so desired. :-) I've been reading more blogs lately also and realized many use a nickname also. So that's pretty easy to accommodate as I have a non-threatening nickname that I use for things. If I decide to make these changes I will of course update here one way or another. Trying to a fresh start of sorts.
Anyways to the relevant and important stuff. Health, fitness and what I'm doing about it now. Well I believe I mentioned I had gained some weight back. It hasn't gone anywhere yet. :-/ Stephen weighed me today, so my current starting weight is 164. DUN DUN DUN....my lowest documented weight I believe was 142, maybe 139. I hit 139 for like a week, then went back and remained in the low 140's for over a year, crept up to 145-148. Then in the last year I gained the other about 20 lbs back. I have tons of excuses for why this happened, all of which were in my control. So how could I let this happen, not sure. But I am now trying to really regain control and get back on track and be better than before.
What I'm doing:
Fitness - Stephen 3x a week, still. We are getting back to the more intense workouts again I will start posting those again. Rollerblading, hiking, outdoors activities etc.
Diet - no processed carbs, no processed sugar, calorie intake 1100-1200, more veggies/fruits, a few other things but I will make a post about that.
Workout - 10am
15 min - elliptical, res 7 (was feeling the burn from leg workout on Wed)
I burned my hand yesterday in an act of stupidity, so I told Stephen he had a challenge ahead of him working out my upper body without requiring me to grab anything. He did well. I held weights typically above my head and didn't need to grip.
Repeat 2x
Shoulder press machine - 25 reps - wide grip
Alternate method shoulder press machine - 25 reps - close grip
Weighted lunges - 20 reps, kettle bell
Dips - 25 reps
Incline bench press - 25 reps
Abs
25 sit ups
25 leg raises
50 twists (balancing on bottom, legs up, twisting and touching ground on each side)
Outdoors - noonish
4 miles of rollerblading
Food (so far today):
B - 2 eggs, 2 strawberries, 10-15 blueberries - 174 calories
S - 2-4oz protein shake (I open one, and it takes me like 4-5 days to drink it) - approx 50 calories
L - 1 cup butternut squash soup (V-8 kind) - 90 calories
