Start working out again. And keep working out.

For the past month I have been training for a sprint triathlon, working out 5-6 days a week. I plan to complete my 1st race in the October, if I am ready. Swimming is the hardest part, need to quit smoking.

But I’m trying to change this.. I’m not the person who’s very sporty… but I want to have a better and healthier lifestyle and, ofcourse, lose some weight…
I started joining weight wacthers… first step! Healthy foor, lots of water, you get the deal…
I’m in my 2nd week of working out regulary! AT least 3 to 4 times a week. Walking, running, fitness,... as long as there’s sweat involved, I’m happy!

I’ll keep you guys uptdated!

I’ve been working out regularly since April and it has been 100% worth it. Going to the gym has become part of my routine. I am sleeping better, and I notice a significant difference in my energy levels on the days I work out. I still have a long way to go in terms of my fitness goals, but I’ve gotten into the habit of working out regularly. I hope to keep up the habit for life. :)

i took a walk this evening :-)

This was a Nike billboard in NYC. I’m very much an ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ person, so it rung true for me :)

I started working out again in April (initially just cardio) and have been doing pretty well with this. When I got back to my parents’ house for the summer at the end of April I joined a gym right away so I could continue with the regular workouts. I started adding weights back in last week.

I have days where I don’t feel like going but one of my friends has been helping me stay motivated, and I’ve been reminding myself of how great I feel post-workout. I basically schedule in my workouts and treat them like any other appointment or commitment and just do them. I think sometimes that’s just what you have to do at the beginning…and then it gets a bit easier. I never regret working out after it’s done.

into another workout? Yep. I thought the HipHop Abs workout looked like something that might be enjoyable and fun. I forked out the money and I’m hoping it will help me tone up my soft middle.

I worked out today for the first time and it was a lot of fun. It was great cardio, good music, and worked my body. I’m hoping that tomorrow I’ll feel the work I put in today. I measured my body (arms, waist, legs, and chest)plus weighed myself, and in one week I want to see if it makes a difference. I plan on eating better this week and laying off any sweets or food I don’t really need to eat. My calories need to stay below 1800 and that should be pretty easy.

I’ve been to easy on myself, and it is time to get in great shape again. For the past year I have been so inconsistent with my diet and workout routine. I need to lose about 30lbs, and I’m tired of making it hard on myself. In 2001 I dropped my weight over a year from 365 to a bottom out of 220. (All natural) I worked out consistently from that point on, but when I got the 8-5 it went down hill. I’m up to 260 right now, and on a good week I’ll work out 3 days. Three months and 30lbs is my goal. I will make this happen. Goodluck and stay strong my fit friends.

I started doing this, then went home to my parents’ house for the holidays and stopped again. Starting Monday, I’m getting back on track!

Today was my 7th day of working out, a one hour workout feels good.
