weight loss, weight loss, weight loss...
Oh, how those words torture me. I've spent most of my teenage and young adult life wanting to loose weight or be thinner. I know what it takes, but it's just so demanding. The last time I was at my ideal weight was the summer after my freshman year of college. I worked out at the gym 6 days a week for 2 hours everyday, and I didn't eat anything. Now, that's hard especially considering how much I enjoy cooking. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those girls with a high metabolism who can eat McDonald's every day, but how many of us really are?
[not that I would after seeing Food Inc and Supersize Me]
Before the wedding, I started doing Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred after a recommendation from my good friend Cassie and wonderful wedding planner Ashley. Teaching full time combined with wedding stress kept me from sticking with it. Now, I'm going to tackle it again. I'm currently on day 4. I'm determined to do it. I'll let you know how it goes.
I also got Wii Fit which is fun, but it doesn't seem to get great results. A friend gave me the balance board, so all I had to do was buy the game. It's definitely better than sitting on the couch getting the usual finger workout. I really like the step aerobics, and it will also track your progress. The jogging is cool too, but it's really easy to cheat by moving the wii remote up and down. You don't even have to jog! Not that I did that...
Here's to being healthier after my first year of teaching and to fitting into my clothes again. Good thing I have a healthy fitness minded husband to help me out!
