Starting Weight (SW): 271
Current Weight (CW): 197
Goal Weight (GW): 175 (ish)
Primarily I set up this blog to post weekly updates and victories as I progress toward, and maintain, my weight loss goals. Here is update number one.
I am down two pounds this week :) I am glad to be getting solidly into the 190's. For a few weeks I fluctuated between 198 and 201 so to be at 197 feels amazing. This is especially exciting since it is right after the holidays.
Other victories for this week include joining a gym, and actually going! I joined the gym right before the new year and had my orientation on New Year's Eve. I signed up for some sessions on New Year's Day but they ended up being canceled so I signed up for them again on January 3rd. It was great, and painful, all at once! The first session I went for was a design your own program where I spoke with the personal trainer and created a plan to help me reach my goals of health and weight loss. Then I did a session for stretching. I originally thought theses sessions would be like classes, where they teach a group how to do things, but, so far, they are more like personal training. I was the only one who signed up for these sessions and that helped with the one-on-one training aspect. It will be interesting to see how the sessions go when, if, other people sign up too. For stretching we focused on the lower body because I was going to do my run afterward. Let me tell you, I stretched muscles I didn't know I had! It felt good though. Later in the day I also had a PF360 Strength session. We did work with hand weights (5 lbs), weight plates (2.5 lbs), a medicine ball (4 lbs), yoga ball, kettle bell (10 lbs), and rope pull. This session KICKED MY BUTT! I enjoyed it though. I know I worked muscles I have never worked at home and today they are talking to me. My arms and legs are SO sore! Again, we focused mainly on the lower body, So.Many.Squats., with a little bit of arm work too. I'm going back for my second session on Wednesday :)
Right now my planned workout routine is this:
Monday: The program designed during "design your own program" and run
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: PF360 Strength
Thursday: Rest
Friday: "Design your own program" and run
Saturday: Run (at home)
Sunday: Rest
We'll see how that routine works and what needs to be tweaked.
