Calories in- Calories out!

I have had quite a time these last few weeks losing weight or lack thereof.

You would think as long as I have done this I would just know things. WRONG
For instance... the more you work out, the more you need to eat.
I have always heard this I guess, but I seriously could not wrap my head around it..
nor did I want too.
Now after to talking to a few gals..
Im talking about gals in a position to tell me why this is a must!!
I have decided that this week I will experiment and eat more when Im working out.
Im using http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ to log my food and my workouts.
As I log my exercise, it bumps up my calories.. telling me what I need to eat.
Makes it so easy for me to know how many I need to be eating.
Yet, I find it harder than heck to get more in. But I will!!!

On a normal day I should be eating 1640... thats with no exercise.
With exercise... I should be getting between 1900-2100
Depending on the intensity of my workouts.
so here it goes people!!
A full week of dedication to the calories!!!
Who would have ever thought I would be told to eat more!

August 15th ... Really?

so at the request of a friend Im going to start blogging again.
(thanks for the nudge Lyndsey)

I have RE-STARTED my journey.

Im down 14lbs in 5 weeks and I totally feel like I am doing it the right way this time.

Theres always going to be fixes, fad diets etc.... but thats exactly what they are!

Eating healthy, working out is the way I am going this time around.

I will do this! I will !!!

this picture is going to motivate me to keep going!!!
2012 is my year to be my best, feel my best and look my best!!

seriously......

like how many times can I say... tomorrow is a new day!
Need to get my shit together!!!!

Circuit Training

Need I say more??

oh wait... ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! ok thats it!! lol
I have been scared to death to go to this class because of what people have told me. And after tonight I find it to be true. Harder than anything I have ever been thru and yes, that includes child birth. I have never in my life have ever thought that being run over by a MAck truck was a far better choice. I am truly not kidding!!!

Circuit.. lets define this.
A. A closed usually circular line that goes around an object or an area.
B. A path or route a complete traversal of which without a local change of direction returning to the starting point.
C. The act of following a path or route.
Ok so lets take point B ... there is nothing fun about busting your hiney going around the first path, when only to find out you must again follow the same route that almost killed you the first time. So onto the same circuit for a second time. (killer)
only to find out that when I crawled to my last station, it was time for a brand new path!!!!



WTH, did she not try to kill me the first 2 times??? I mean cmon already!

I was ready to walk at this point, but something inside me said.. for the love of god Robin.. PUSH THRU it. I hate when I try to reason with myself and and myself wins. Hate her sometimes..lol
Needless to say I made thru 1 round of circuit 3 , and with the thought of me tossin my cookies in front of 20 other women I have to work out with on a daily basis, I decided to save my self the embarressment and pat myself on the back for what I had just accomplished.
I have much respect for people who do this and dont need to stop for breaks.
At this point I have truly have a love/hate relationship with class.. but I will tell you this.

I WILL BE BACK!!
And I WILL complete everything.. without stopping, without walking and without having to vomit haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
YOU AINT GOT NOTHIN ON ME CIRCUIT!!!!
see you soon.. mwahhhhhhhhhhhh
(note to self::: bring a change of clothes, because you will be SOAKED!!)
(p.s. I decided I hate mt. climbers)
(p.p.s. lemon squeezes are ridiculous! I only say that bcuz the trainer did 10 to my 2..nuf said!)

Isnt this the truth......

1 Week down and I'm down

so excited!

So my last post I mentioned that I joined a Biggest Loser Contest.
This week I am happy to report to be almost 6lbs lighter.
I guess since I really only worked out 3 times it paid to really watch what I have been eating.
PLus its hot, so it always feels better to eat light.
This week I really challenged myself to do something at home as far as working out.. so I did some strength training and I also did 1 minute planks. Not all ended up being 1 minute, but I did try.
Thanks to everyone else who went for the challenge as well.
This weeks challenge is AB ROLL with BALL

Ab rolls are a challenging exercise that targets all the muscles of the core. This advanced move requires attention to detail to avoid straining the back. Make sure you only roll out as far as you comfortably can. If you feel any strain in the back, back off the exercise or avoid it completely.
1.Kneel in front of the ball and place the hands on the ball, parallel to one another and with the elbows bent.
2.Contract the abs and pull the belly towards the spine.
3.Slowly roll forward and out as far as you comfortably can, until the feel the abs engage. Don't go so far that you hurt your back or collapse.
4.This move does not involve bending the hips, so keep them straight throughout the exercise.
5.Keeping the body straight, slowly pull your body back using your arms and abdominals.
6.Continue for 1-3 sets of 8-12 reps, avoiding this move if you have any back problems.
7.You can change the difficult of the move by placing your hands closer in or further out.

Challenge yourself to do a set or 2 each day!!
