Not doing too bad

Tuesday, November 06, 2012

SO I haven been doing horrible on the whole in shape thing but deff not great. I have been moving into the new house so I am getting tons of exercise ( I cant believe we had so much stuff!) eating habits haven't been great though since we didn't have dishes/pots or pans we couldn't really cook.

not a huge excuse since I could of made better choices/amounts. pizza is hard not to love but I do the grilled chicken stuff with salad and balsamic dressing on the side at the restaurant across the way.

hopefully since we have most things moved in I can start getting the food end right, and really get serious

New Start

Tuesday, October 30, 2012

So it has been FOREVER since I last blogged and a good while since I truly used Spark.

(funny my last blog was the same, seeing a "fall off the wagon pattern?")

So lots ha changed. My husband is back from overseas. I lost weight and gained some back. I am a Director of a Learn To Skate and a Figure Skating Coach AND finally I moved To Plymotuh, MA!

I figured since we are lving 3.5 miles from a beach and the fact that I miss working out and thinking about a good workout that this can be a new start. wish me luck, and I wont lie, Im going to need it to stay on track!

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

So I havent been using my spark in a while. ( about a week? ) either way im back on to using it!

I weighed myself this morning and i was 126.8. WOO i am only 3.8 pounds away from my goal. thats CRAZY. I am hoping to hit 125 by saturday. wont be sad if i dont but still, itd be nice. havent seen that number in about 5 years.

basically im back on the wagon, been walking ( or running when its RAINING like today ) at least 3.4 miles a day this week. Bluff Point is when its nice and treadmill when it isnt. today i did 4 miles on the treadmill total. NICE

so alot of rambling but now its over. blog ya later!

Should I Log It?

Sunday, April 03, 2011

So this morning I was feeling skinny. Well the last few days I have been. However, this is why I fell off the wagon!

This morning I decided to weigh myself, which i havent done in a while ( for me at least who is a daily weigher. its been over a week! )

So I was right, I am "skinnier". It was 126.8

This is kind of a big deal! This is officially the lowest number I have seen in about 5 years! This is lower than last summers 127!

I know that this will probably not be on my scale again for a while so I am asking - should I log it? wont it just be depressing to log my weight in next week and see it has gone up? I havent been working out as much this week sadly so I know this is prob muscle loss low numbers.

Along the lines of the last sentance - I feel TOO skinny. I want a bit more tone to this thin. Any tips? I know the usual, work out, eat alot of protein, but it that truly it? is it that easy? What are the best at home things to do?

I am doing Insanity but have fallen off the wagon ( I am just jumping off these carts lately! ) SO i figure if i just keep my protein up ( averaging high 70's a day ) and actually DO the workout instead of just going running, this should help.

I thought I would be reallyh appy to see that number, I guess now im just worried!

I do have some advice for you, its my opinion but I hope it helps. By adding weights to your work out, you will gain muscle tone, and perhaps "bulk up a bit" but that small gain of muscle will even out your body fat %. In turn this will either return your weight back to where it is now, or maybe you will like weight training, and maybe gain 3-10lbs in muscle and look the best you want too :) I would log the weight, and if it goes up, it won't be a disappointment, because you are doing the work and eating right :) Comment edited on: 4/4/2011 6:17:06 PM Report Inappropriate Comment

WOOHOO go me!

Thursday, March 24, 2011

so today i have been kicking butt at eating well ( at least better than i have ) my carbs are at 80ish my fat is in the good range, 775cals, my protein is at 58 and im going to have salmon for dinner with veggies. i should get more fruit/veggies in but im working on it. i did eat strawberries today haha baby steps!!

also i cleaned out our garden bed. we have tried to do a garden last year but army got in the way ( go figure ) and we werent on time so basically said forget it. This year I am going to do it! I cleaned out the mini tree/twig looking things and walked them all the way to the woods ( across our yard but still it is an acre and a half!! ) and i didnt use a wheelbarrow, i used my guns :) so this weekend seems busy but the next free day im taking out the tools and pulling up the grass/hay looking stuff and getting the soil ready.

I figured I would plant lettuce, green beans, peas, carrots, strawberries, and watermelon. I have never gardened before but was checking out the article on dailyspark. Any tips would be great. also can i plant them at the same time, does it matter when in the season i plant them?

most veggies start in late april depending on where you live. You can go to a local co-op and they can help you figure out what the seasons are if you want to grow specific things. :) Pretty much just stick them in the ground when its consistently warm out and make sure they get lots of sun. :) Comment edited on: 3/24/2011 3:58:17 PM Report Inappropriate Comment
