Reality…bites!
Christmas was fun…we had a huge snowstorm that got me a few mandatory days off from work….then a couple weeks later I headed for the beautiful island of Maui for 10 GLORIOUS days!! How have I done in this month of leisure…..oh….about 5 lbs have been gained..:( NO it does NOT make me happy!!
BUT…I have a new goal…
My daughter is getting married the middle of May….I have 4 months to go after my new goals. I have a very realistic goal of losing 20lbs. ….basically 5 lbs each month. How am I going to achieve this….here’s how:
4 types of cardio…I want a lot of variety this time, so as to address every fiber that I can: cycling, treadmill, elliptical and a new one for me….running. I will do one of these .75 to one hour everyday.
Gym Weight training….3 times a week….on the off days I will be doing at home basics: push ups, crunches and squats.
And the big one…..NOT a diet…but to focus on my clean eating menu as diligently as possible. Back to my 5 small meals per day and water, water, water…..
Tomorrow….Day 1.

Best of luck! YOu will do great, just keep your positive attitude. You might want to look into HIIT training for your cardio… you can check it out on the forums.

I like that…."smokin"…it’s worth a try anyway!!
I really slacked off the last couple of months….but am feeling so much more energized after my holiday. I may not have made the bikini for Hawaii, but am feeling more confident that I will be in one by summer.
Time to get serious again…

So glad to read that your Hawaiian holiday energized you! Wishing you great success with your new approach. Elliptical kills me. Much more the "slow cardio (3.0 - 4.0 at .5 incline) treadmill" fan here.
