Progress 3/8/09
It has been eight days since I have been tracking exactly what exercises I do and how many calories they burn along with what I eat and the nutritional facts. In the last eight days, I have lost about eight pounds! I am becoming fixated on burning more calories than I eat. Considering how many calories it takes for me to just exist and what I eat, then subtracting the amount I burn comes to a number I struggle to keep low. Last night Husband tried to convince me that I need to eat more, and even commented that he didn't want me to become anorexic.
Husband started this new regimine with me and has lost even more weight than I have. He is even working on buiding muscles, so in fact he is loosing quite a bit more since he is adding weight from his new muscles.
Mostly, I am walking on the treadmill, but have used the bike a few times. I also have a weight circuit set up with the system at the YMCA that will track my exercises. This system remembers which machines, which settings I need to use (like seat height) and the amount of weight I have been using. Through the system (Fitlinxx) I earn points for each exercise, including my cardio and classes I take. When I get to certain numbers, I earn prizes from the YMCA. I am less than 1,000 points from a t-shirt. I should get there by the end of next week with the amount I have been going lately.
I also have a "workout" using my exercise ball, which I can do at the YMCA or at home, which is great. This way I can just tack on the extra exertion whenever I feel like it. I do crunches and back lifts then pushups and "diamond" pushups with my feet on the ball. This lessens the amount of weight for the pushups and allows me to do more. I will slowly build up to being able to just do them on my own, but I think it will be quite a while.
The "Gyminee" site I am using is way cool. I track everything listed above very easily, and can even do it through my iPhone while at the gym. That way I don't forget the numbers by the time I get home.
I am currently in first place in Husband's and my little challenge, and he is barely within that 80% mark. If I can keep up this rate, I will win for sure, and possibly take the entire $300. For those of you that don't know what I am talking about, look at the previous post.
I am having fun exercising!
