So here's my plan for losing this last 15 lbs: go ape shit crazy and exercise all the time. Yup, that's pretty much it. I've been sitting here going up and down a few pounds for a couple of months. I have come to the conclusion that it's going to take the same kind of effort to get started exercising to lose this last bit of flab.
Yesterday I did my normal 2 mile dogwalk where I try to run a bit but really just end up dragging Rowdy around because he doesn't like to run. And he weighs 90 lbs. so I really can't make him do anything! Then I came home and watched a movie with the kids, it was nice to have that rest. After that I got on the stationary bike for 10 minute intervals broken up by 3 minute ab sessions. Coach Sule has given me a zillion ab exercises so I have so many to choose from! I think I did 4 of those and then, to mix things up, I ran down the street and back up. Then I did 2 2min. drills on the heavy bag. Then I panted, drank water and stretched. I burned 740 calories and that's without counting the dog walk!
So today's plan is a 1.5 miles dog walk followed by a 2 mile run if my heel allows, it's been giving me pains. After that, more cardio. Tomorrow I will take it easy and just do a walk. It's gonna take some crazy but I am ready to flip the switch and make this happen and get to my purple hair. I've found that my success is directly linked to how badly I want it. I guess that's what you call determination. How badly do you want what you are after? Do I want to lose this weight more than I want to sit on the couch or go read a book? Yup. I have been mucking around with this long enough and am ready to see magic numbers on the scale! I am so proud of myself for what I've accomplished so far and that really helps push me forward.
