Not much progress...

Though I am more active, I have yet to get four workouts in during one week. I usually make it to three, but skip out on one somewhere. It feels better to be working out again, but I think I need to push myself a little harder. My membership to the Rec Center expires on July 5th. Unfortunately, I will not have the necessary funds to renew right away, so that will leave me with running outside and utilizing the student-athlete facility that kind of skimps on cardio-vascular machines. It will be better than nothing.

The Lifehouse CD was released a week early and I'm not any closer to meeting my goal. I have seven more pounds to lose before I can purchase the new album. I really want to listen to it!! I wish it was motivating me a little more. I know I'm not trying as hard as I could be. Also, another motivation for the rest of the summer will be the Biggest Loser competition rounded up by Rachel. The first weigh in is Friday. Let's get a jump start for the first weigh in!!! Go Team!

It's about time

I’m finally back at it. Counting calories and striving for four workouts per week. It’s technically only been one week since I’ve been working out again. My doctor said to start out slow and that I would feel like a truck hit me the first time I worked out. It wasn’t quite that bad. I even ran a mile on Sunday night … it was actually pretty rough … I wanted to pass out. John and I have gone on a couple of bike rides and that has been a fun way to work out. In the past two weeks, I’ve lost 3 pounds. Not much, but it’s a start. My goal is still to lose a total of 10 by the time the Lifehouse cd comes out, so I can buy it. The release date is June 26, so I’m running short on time. I’m not sure I can do it in that time frame, but the cd is definitely a motivation … the new single sounds great on the radio! Wish me luck!
