Week two and other stuff

I can't believe I'm done 2 weeks already. And of course I haven't noticed any major differences, but of course I haven't. It's only been two weeks.
These exercises are hard. And I'm so lazy sometimes that it takes a lot of will power to get up out of bed to do them. Ugh. I'm not a morning person but I prefer doing my workouts in the morning because then I can jump in a hot shower. In the evenings though, before bed, I do a minimum of 60 lunges. I love lunges. Everyone seems to think I'm crazy. Why?
And that's really about all there is to my 2nd week. Not that exciting.

Classes have been going for a month and a half and I feel like I'm not getting anywhere even though I know differently. But finishing by January is kind of daunting. I'm worried about it.
I'm worried about finding a job too. I haven't had any luck yet so I guess I need to pick up more applications and print out more resumes. It bugs me that when before it was so easy to find a job it's so difficult now. I know that places are hiring and so I hand in my applications, hoping for a call. But so far nothing. And I hate not having something to do after classes are done.

Well, that's all.

Week One

Alrighty.. So I'm a little behind with an update on my 6 weeks.

The first week wasn't as crazy difficult as I would have liked because Thanksgiving weekend came up after just a couple days. So I spent the majority of my weekend in a car and eating Turkey. Not the best way to go about this eh? Ah well. I did my best by doing lunges and sit-ups when I could. Plus we did a ton of hiking.
But already I'm back into it. My legs feel like noodles every morning from the lunges I did the night before. And of course my abs feel like they're screaming cause of the sit-ups.
I don't know if any of you know of bodyrock.tv but that's where all my workouts and exercises are from. I went through the exercises and picked out several different ones and kind of just made up workouts with them. I try to avoid doing the same thing every day so I made up a couple different workouts to alternate with throughout the week. Each exercise works different areas of my body so by the time I'm done I'm sweating like a pig and my muscles hate my guts.

So that's all for week one.... And since I have nothing else to add I guess I'm done.

Have a good, safe weekend!

6 Weeks

Alright, so here's the deal:
I am trying to get back into my old fitness routine and I kind of sort of need your help. I find that even though I really want to get back into working out and getting back into shape I am unmotivated. Here's where you come in. You don't need to comment on this or even read it, so don't worry. But putting it out there (so to speak) I have to hold myself accountable.

And here's the part where the title of this blog becomes relevant:
I'm giving myself 6 weeks to lose a certain amount of body fat.. Also weight. Although muscle weighs more than fat so... You get the point. I don't want to go crazy or anything and say that by the end of this six weeks I want to lose 40 pounds. That's unrealistic. Not to mention that for my height that would make me look, well, gaunt. So I think that during this six weeks I will aim to lose approximately 15-20 pounds. That would mean I would have to lose approximately 3.333 lbs per week. Reasonable?

So at the end of every week.. Or beginning of every week.. I will post an update on my progress. You can bet that there will be plenty of complaining about sore muscles (sorry in advance!). And at the end of it depending on whether or not I feel at all comfortable with it I may post a before and after picture. The chances of that are slim. Just saying.
Also, every week when I post my update on my progress I will tell you which exercises I did and provide a link or two so you can get an idea of what the heck I'm doing.

So now that it's written down I will hit 'publish' and in a rather non-definitive way it's set in stone. Now I have to do this crazy idea instead of just thinking about doing it. Oh boy.

Wish me luck!
