Sarah healthy journey

Been 3 weeks today since I wrote last but decided that maybe if I put the site into my most used folder and can't close it out til I write that maybe I'll write more often. This morning on the way home from the gym I decided to set a goal for the rest of this training month to get my diet right and workouts on point to by next summer look like I could step on stage and compete. I think when I was in TOPS my goal at first was to reach KOPS then when I decided to not become one again I lost my focus on a goal so today decided to set that one and will e-mail Christian shortly to see what he thinks of the idea if  I could pull it off by mid June which is going to be my 2 year trainiversary. I started training with him mid June of 2014 so would like to reach that goal by then of getting my diet right and workouts great to look like I could step on stage and compete which I probably never will but would like to look like I could. Today I did Nov Back/Biceps and since I had a headache...

Didn't realize that it's been well over a month since I've been here. So much has happened starting with being finished with TOPS on October 5th since we went to Colorado on Oct 11th. Kinda miss TOPS but kinda don't for the fact that if I need to I can change up my workout days and do Chest/Shoulders/Triceps on Monday and Cardio on Tuesday if I need too which I did this week. Did Quads/Hamstrings today and tomorrow is Back/Biceps and 20 minutes of Cardio aiming to burn 200-300 calories on the machine will try the rowing machine even if the calories burned won't be accurate since there is no place to enter in my weight. So far I haven't had the success that I thought I would on my own but will still give it til January then if I need or just want to I'll rejoin TOPS but as an online member instead so I don't have to sit at the meetings that can last over an hour when we can be done in half hour by not getting off topic which happens at my now former chapt...

Burned 426 calories this morning doing my Monday Cardio plus the finishers 4 sets of each from my Tues/Thurs workouts. Down 1.3# on my scale and confident that I have a loss from 2 week's ago at chapter tonight. I've already reported my weigh in's to the online loops and to Christian since I started reporting my morning weigh in on Monday only effective last week. It's easier since I have counting tonight 5 evening weigh in's left. Want to skip out tonight after weighing in but won't since our new AC is coming to give the program but am getting burned out on Subway sandwiches so will come home and eat something after the meeting.

Taken on Sept 7th at MAC Fitness!!!

Been over a week but kept on thinking about it so decided since I have the time this morning to do so. I started taking Fiber pills and so far it's been helping. Down 0.8# from last Sunday's weigh in so should be OK for weigh in tomorrow.  Counting tomorrow I have 5 TOPS weigh in's left and if it weren't for the fact that our AC Teresa is coming to do the program I'd weigh and leave since I do have to be at work early on Tuesday. I'm not going to go to Subway with them this week as I'm getting burned out on having a Subway sandwich and chips every week for the last year and a half. Not sure I'll want to eat Subway for a while after that so plan on not joining them starting this week. For now all that was changed by my trainer in the new month is Cardio and Legs but will see after next week's weigh in if the arm workouts get changed as well. It's much easier and faster to just print my workouts than to try and put them into templates on the bodybu...

Been a few days since I've checked in and I let the yahoo groups weight recorders and owners know that I plan on reporting my home weigh in's starting on Monday so I never have a no weigh in for a holiday or for weather that will be nice. I was talking to one of the group owners and she's right TOPS isn't what it used to be where weigh in's started on time and we were all about losing weight and giving helpful information. I feel like I know more from the last 4 years at MAC fitness that I have the first 8 years that I belonged to TOPS before joining the gym. I'm 2.3# from getting into my healthy range and 7.3# from reaching my goal of 130. Going to try and reach it before we leave on October 11th for Colorado. Been fighting a sinus cold which is almost gone. Hard to believe another training month ends this week and a new one begins on Sunday. Plan is to write down my starting weight from Sunday then at the end of the training month on Sunday write that number d...

Going to send this photo to Christian on Monday just in case I can't take another photo on Monday. Top photo is from April and the bottom photo is from yesterday I think I look different but not sure will let Christian take a look at the difference on Monday. Waiting for my work schedule so I know what my workout plan for next week will be if I get in 5 days of 4 workouts or 4 days of 4 workouts 3 lifting days, 1 Cardio day and the add on workout on my legs/abs day. 24oz of water down and 96oz left to go.
