AI'm startin a little later than you but I want to be sexy by spring. Need that bikini bod and to be fit and feeling better by the time I get married. (No date yet, but the earlier I have my confidence back the better!)
I started my routine about a week ago. I am down from a size 7/8 pant to a size 5/6 and have noticed my sides trimming out. I am 5'6" and my weight is from 135-140 to the 130-133 range.
I sometimes work out before I eat, but if that's not the case I have an omelette (eggbeaters, spinach leaves, tomato, cheese), a bowl of cheerios or some oatmeal. I have completely cut coffee out of my intake, as well as soda. Lemonade is as sweet and sugary as I'll go.
My daily routine consists of at least 2 of the following:
(Always start with stretches!)
- 15 minutes of constant varied ab workouts. (Sometimes p90x ab ripper)
- A video for a variery of strength and/or cardio (Depends on how much time I have. If I have time p90x yoga, but usually Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.)
- Top it off with half an hour of intense cardio. (Either pushing myself on the exercise bike, or lots of DDR.)
- End with more stretches.
I've also been making tasty shakes for after my workout. Usually ice, a banana, vanilla yogurt, milk, oats, and some chocolate or strawberry weigh powder for protein. An excellent lunch, filling and nutritional! I also started taking a multivitamin and fish oils every day.
It's only been a week but I'm proud of my determination! Been watching portion sizes and passed on most of the holiday sweets.
So I won't be at my goal come new year's, but I'll be rockin a pair of my new jeans and basking in my progress.
Good luck everybody!
