Week 1 Results & New Plan

Well, my week one is complete! I lost 5 pounds in a week. Starting at 260 to 255. I'm very happy with those results. I picked up something fun and interesting the other day as well. The Biggest Loser video game for Wii. I've only done day one so far, but the beginner workout (18 minutes) had me sweating by the time we were through. It's going to be a great addition to the rest of my routine.

Speaking of my routine...while I have several different books with a lot of different exercise routines I don't have the full motivation. I'm fully committed to working out and getting in shape, but not motivated enough. I decided to change that today. Today I signed up at a gym and got myself a highly recommended personal trainer. I start tomorrow and can't wait!!!

I've been doing pretty good! I hit the gym on Tues & Wed, took yesterday off, and will be working out again today. I'm thinking of trying the P90X program, but not sure if I want to spend the cash on it. Has anyone tried it?

I know I've lost a few pounds this week so far, probably water weight, but it's a start! I must be doing something right because my muscles were a little sore the day after my first workout, but it went away pretty quick. That's a big difference compared to how they used to hurt for days. I have to thank the Biggest Loser workout book for the tips.

First workout, WOW!

Man...that was rough. That's what I get for being out of shape! I picked up some 15lb dumbbells on my way home so I could complete the beginner workout. (If anyone needs dumbbells, they are on sale at Sears this week. I do have to legally say, I work for Sears, but I'm just trying to let people know they're on sale.) I was able to make it most of the way through, however there were a few things I wasn't able to fully complete. I'm not happy I couldn't do it, but I am very happy that I completed as much as I did. It's not for lack of energy, but I just couldn't push my muscles any more. I look forward to doing it again and being able to complete it!

Now that I've started again, I feel so much more motivated. I'm very happy and excited to finally be doing this. While it's going to be a late dinner night (I'll be staying up to make sure I give my self enough time between eating and sleeping) I'm happy to say I'm making something very nice and healthy from the Biggest Loser Family Cookbook. Buffalo Chicken Meat Loaf. I love buffalo/spicy food and this is going to be a big constant in my life to replace the buffalo wings, buffalo pizza, etc.
