So, I have clearly fallen off the wagon since this time last year. There have been many changes: lost a job and now work for myself, moved to Oakland, have roommate, have kind of started dating someone. Working from home has made me more sedintary, I believe. It is too easy to not only sit on the coach all day, but even when I do that often I am not getting anything done.
I also have had a lot of trouble with my feet. Maybe it's a legit excuse, maybe it's just an excuse. Regardless, fear of being in pain has inhibited my ability to walk or run. However, I did start working out with a good friend and awesome personal trainer. She works me out 2x a week. I am definitely stronger, particularly in my core. She's also working to address getting both my legs equally strong. (Only of them compensates for the pain in the other foot.) I need to find a way to keep on working out with her.
o here is my plan for losing 12 lbs by Sepember 17th (Mike and Lily's wedding): - stretch against the wall while on computer 1 hour per day (doing that right now) - metabolix for breakfast every morning - drink fiber at 3pm everyday - only eat out 1x per week* - measure portions/ use portion plate - make salads that will stay (bean, cabbage, kale, etc) on Mondays and Wednesdays.* - Set alarm to make to to work out from 9-10am on days when not working out with Tiff or taking a class. - Get body bug from Tiff - NO JUICE! - snack on veggies, fiberone bars ans pickles - keep up on fat secret - schedule time ride bike/take BART when going to the city* - if going to Lucky's of Farmer John's must ride bike * will also help save money
