Getting back to the gym today!

Getting back to the gym today!

I decided yesterday that today is the day I get back to the gym and start watching what I eat. So, I started the Special K challenge this morning (cereal for breakfast, cereal for lunch, fruit and vegs for snacks, and normal dinner) and am going to the gym in a little while! I might even go to ****'s Sporting Goods to buy a good exercise mat - I have a windsor pilates dvd that I'd like to do 2x a week. I might also buy the bender ball:

Anyone else kicking it to high gear now that the new year's here??

Re: Getting back to the gym today!

I've had monday as my start day in my head! I'll be working from home until the end of February, so i should be able to get back into my old routine. I have a couple of new videos that i'm excited to try, and I definitely plan on bettering my eating habits! My goal is to lose hopefully 10 pounds by the end of March.

I really need to start working out again. I just came back from grocery shopping and bought healthier foods to make for lunch and breakfast this week and i bought a ton of water. I have to force myself to drink during the day or seriously i could spend the entire day with a 16.9 oz bottle at my desk with one sip taken out of it. it's so bad i am so dehydrated and it's not like i drink anything but water anyway. I bought huge bottles today and i am going to force myself to drink the entire bottle each day while i am working.

Tomorrow is my day! But yeah, it's going to be a b!tch to find parking at my gym for the next couple of months. Darn New Year's resolutions!

Re: Getting back to the gym today!

Just got back! And I had my 2nd bowl of cereal and some pineapple. Feels good to be at the gym - getting there is the hardest part, or, should I say, deciding to make this the weekend to start again, you know? But I did 2.5 miles on the treadmill and worked my arms, legs, stomach on the machines. Going back Tues after work, and Thurs or Fri.

Used a small ball under my back for when I did crunches and I definitely can see why that bender ball is good! I did feel like I was using more muscles because I could extend back a little.

I am starting back at the gym on the 12th bc that's when the new class schedule starts and I like those classes better than the fall session.. I can't wait.. my goal is 10lbs to start and then we will go from there.. Ideally I would like to lose 20

Good for you, getting back into a good routine!! I keep seeing the benderball commercials and I want it so badly! I love doing crunches on a swiss ball too.

Good luck getting back on track...I'm with ya.

I'm getting back on track today...the diet part might be a little tougher because I'm home now...it's easier for me to manage a diet when I'm working...but it'll be a nice challenge. Today will e my frist day back at the gym in 3 weeks.....I'm gonna be in pain.

Re: Getting back to the gym today!

Good for you Jenn! I go to a trainer twice a week otherwise I would NEVER go- before the wedding- I was working out 3x a week about 2 hours each time- no motivation now

I really need to go back to WW- the newlywed 7 that I gained is quickly increasing!
