I just wanted to share a bit of what I have been up to the past few days. I know that a lot of people make new year's resolutions to work out more, lose weight, and eat healthier. There are many options to do this the healthy way. This year I have decided that I am going to make a goal for myself to get healthier as well.
I have done many different paid weight loss options in the past. With some success, but ultimately it was not a long term solution. I have decided to take what I learned from those "fad diets" in the past and use healthy options and exercise to try to get myself back into shape.
When I was in college I played NCAA Division II volleyball. I was in good shape! Since college I would say I have bounced back and forth between being in shape and not exercising or dieting at all. I am in graduate school right now and taking time to diet and exercise is HARD work, but I really want to try to be more conscious about making healthy choices in my diet and trying to get a work out in as many days/week as possible.
My husband and I are both in school and working pretty much full time at the same time and time and money are hard to come by. I unfortunately cannot afford a gym membership at this time so I am going to try to use some of the tips I have posted on this site before to try to exercise at home.
Today I tried using one of the YouTube video sites that I posted and found this work out by celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels. I will be completely honest with you...about 15mins in to this work out I was DYING! I looked at the time left on the video and about died when I realized I had only done about 15mins. It was hard. But I stuck with it and finished the video and I was proud of myself.
Tonight I am making dinner and have decided to make this recipe that I found on Pinterest.
Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken & Brown Rice:
Doesn't it look YUMMY! I am excited, and brown rice is a good grain!
I have decided in order to be more transparent about myself and be more committed to losing some weight and eating healthier that I should post my progress on this blog.
Here are my stats today:
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 181.0lbs
BMI Today: 24.5
