It was a little quiet around here for the last couple of days, but I hope you enjoyed my vacation recaps so far?
Spring finally arrived and it is amazing how much better I feel now that the sun is still up at 7pm. Since I didn't feel really comfortable with my body lately, I went back to working out. So now I spend every evening with my new BFF Jillian Michaels, doing her "30 Day Shred" workout, plus trying to go around 100 kilometers on my bike/week. It's pretty cool how fast my body already changed! Still not feeling good enough to step on the scale, but from the way my pants fit I can totally see a difference!

Besides my "30 Day Shred" and bike tours, I am back at the gym now as well, doing mostly cardio to burn some extra calories, or working on my legs and arms.
Another big change is, that I am now using an App to track my daily calorie input. Girl, it helps a lot! If you have to write it down, you think twice, and in the end you are not eating that second cookie ;oD!
One of the biggest motivator has been my "Polar FT7" Heart Rate Monitor. It makes my workout definitely more effective!
I really should start stepping on the scale though. My Wii Fit Board might be the best way to track my weight(loss).
Who is with me on the weightloss journey?
Good luck with the 30 Day Shred. My problem is also sticking out the 30 days, haha.
ReplyDeleteJillian knows how to kick some butt! I did the 30 Day Shred all throughout my pregnancy (with some modifications by the end of course), and I am convinced that it helped me bounce back more quickly. Jillian can be scary, but she's awesome. :)
