Lately my workout routine consists of me walking 2-3 miles three mornings a week, doing 40min on the elliptical (-400 calories)three evenings a week, and every other day switching between arm weights (I posted a pic of my arm routine awhile ago), abs and squats. :-) I'm also tracking my calories on an app on my iPhone, which I love. My calorie goal each day is 1,200.
I've learned that keeping myself accountable to my calorie intake is HUGE. Honestly, most of America is completely deceived about how many calories they are consuming and it's not even their fault. Some things are just INSANE! Try getting a meal at chick-fil-a under 1,000 calories! VERY HARD! I've figured out a few ways by mixing and matching, but it was seriously hard! The reason I use chick-fil-a as an example is because many view it as "healthier" than other fast food places. I personally hardly go out to eat for many weird personal reasons lol.
I've never seen much success in the weight loss department. I believe one day we will look back at the stupidity of all this weight loss junk and realize it's ALL HORMONES! Everything is tied up with hormones! Our skin, our weight and our emotions. So many products contain hormones that mess up people's balance, especially women because they are more hormonally complex than men. When we think of hormones the first thing most people think about is food, but hair styling products, makeup that we wear on our face ALL DAY and more all contain chemicals and hormones. CRAZY, right!?!?
Anyways I'll post another weight loss update soon. I have yet to weigh myself! I'm so scared because I fractured my foot in two places in early December and stopped working out completely until recently. I was pretty sedentary through the high calorie holidays. I don't want to see the damage on the scale.So, I'm going to wait till my pants start feeling big, then weigh myself. :-/
