Still dropping the lbs

Haven't workout out recently but sticking to the calorie count and it's working!

Still sticking to the diet

Dropped below 220 this morning! 19 pounds to go!! My lovely meal from last night too

Diet progress!

Diet - week 1 over

Did pretty good on the diet in week 1. Went over on 2 days but Saturday was due to the trip to Which Wich in ATL and was totally unavoidable.

I could of worked out more I think but overall it was pretty easy and I really enjoy using this app to track my efforts.

Trip to ATL for Phils

Sausage & ricotta Flat bread

Olympic aches in ATL for the 96 games

Strongbow

Hamels warming up

Headed out to ATL today with Ashley, Brittany and Mary to see the Phillies take on the Braves. Not very optimistic about them winning but always fun to see the Phils. We stopped at the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and in sticking to my diet I ordered off the healthy meau. That flatbread was only 460 calories!

We made our way to the hotel and chilled at the pool for a while before heading to the game. Phils lost in a game that wasn't even close.

Rethink Friday's lunch

Fast forwarded a few days to check out the calories in my usual Friday lunch with the guys. Yikes! Going to have to rethink that one.

Diet time

 

 

Back from vacation and ready to get in shape. Mary and I started counting calories using the iPhone app My Fitness Pal. It's a great app and one I'd pay for but it's free. You put in your goals and it helps guide you by providing you with a calorie carbs protein etc. counting and allows you to look up foods, scan bar codes and even enter your own. We are focused and are going to help each other stick to it. We are working out tri-weekly as well. 

Travis and I also have plans to tackle the 3 day diet starting Sunday, more on that later.

Slowly but surely - diet

Started week 4 of p90x this week. I have been on and off with eating and also up and down in weight so I wanted to track progress. I got as low as 224 but 4 days off caught up with me, ha. I'm definitely getting stronger, faster and having more stamina. I'm gaining muscle too so that's skewing the weight in a bit too.

Can't wait to get back on the field for spring soccer! I'm going to be a different person!

Workout - Week 4

Still going strong, in my second week of P90x and enjoying it! I'm down 10 pounds and feel great.

Working out - Start of week 3

So after to weeks of trying I have come to the conclusion my shin splits are more than just temporary. I'm really going to have to work on them. I have been sketching them daily but just riding the bike isn't enough. I decided I'm going to start P90X again. Started today, and it sucked! I do look forward to the outcome though!

Operation get healthy - day 5

Been doing shin workouts throughout the day yesterday. This morning I tried the insanity warm up but my shins starting to hurt. So I rode the bike 5 miles again. The weight seems to be falling off though. 30 pounds to go, ha!

Insanity - day 4 no insanity

So during yerterday's Insanity workout I started getting pretty bad shin splints. They bothered me the rest of the day unfortunately. Insanity is pretty high impact so it looks like I'll need to work my way into it. Sets me back a little but its ok. I need the work out anyways.


I really need to work on these and get rid of them. So to help with them I have ordered 2 on these compression sleeves. I have read quite a bit online about people saying they really help, so fingers crossed.



Today I rode the stationary bike for 5 miles split it with pushups and squats.

Insane insanity.

Dropping the pounds but shin splints getting worse.

Started working out.... for real this time!

Started Insanity yesterday. It truly is insane. I started at 238 pounds. That's a day after eating and drinking horribly. Today I was already down 2 pounds! I'm working out in the mornings, seems to work better for me and it's great to have it over with for the day. I'm really looking forward to the outcome and definitely looking forward to fitting in all my clothes I can't quite rock right now.

Started Complete Nutrition!

We had a little lunch and learn a few weeks ago at DMGx with Ethan from Complete Nutrition. I usually don't buy into "gimmicky" pitches with lines like "lose 20 pounds in 2 months." But this was different. Ethan ran through the products and was very informative and nice. He knew all the answers and wasn't a cut around the corners type, which I liked.

The thing that sold me in is that complete nutrition as a company has almost doubled in the last year and their advertising costs were cut in half once their products saturated the market. To me that's their best selling point. Proves the products work! Most obviously due to the repeat customers.

I believe that says more than enough for the products. Especially since they are pretty pricey. Travis and I both started this yesterday. We both already feel awesome and look

Also taking this. A complete vitamin

Also doing a herbal cleanse.

It's a 10 day program 10 pills a day. No it's not a make up run to the bathroom type cleanse. "Detoxification is the removal of potentially toxic substances from the body. HERBAL CLEANSE is a 10-day total detox plan to cleanse your system and allow vital nutrients to be better absorbed."
