Hello my lovelies!
It's my first real weigh in! It's the end of my first week of the Blogilates Beginner's Calendar! I've also logged EVERYTHING I've eaten using the LoseIt! app!
So, let's get the numbers!
Minutes worked out: 225
- a combination of PoPilates, jogging, swimming, and weightlifting
Calories under budget: 102
Pounds lost: 2.4
- I chose a 2 lb/week weight loss plan on LoseIt!. It's super encouraging to be right on track! I definitely wouldn't want to lose more than that - fast weight loss isn't healthy and doesn't stick.
Weight: 197.0 lb
I loved this week because I felt so good and I am so proud of myself. I'm visiting my sister and was able to stay on track despite the fact that my sister is a major foodie and we eat good whenever we're together.
Controlling my portions of the yummy stuff and limiting my calories by eating lots of fruit, veggies, and lean protein earlier in the day allowed me to eat like a king without going over my calorie budget.
The LoseIt! app also helps you to calculate the calories burned by your exercise which you can then use. I think as I move along I will aim to only use those calories when I'm eating out with friends or having a special meal.
Blogilates is amazing. Cassey Ho, the creator and trainer behind the fitness videos, is so sweet. It's like working out with your best friend. She's also fostered a community of women who are unbelievably kind, loving, and supportive of each other. From women who are overweight to the so called "skinny fat" girls (I hate that term!), everyone is welcomed and lifted up by these Popsters!
I'm so excited for the week to come but I'm also so glad I had a rest day today! I am sore but I like it and that's kind of amazing. It's a happy kind of sore. It's a sore that means my body is changing in a healthy, sustainable way.
Stay tuned for next week's weigh in!
