Diet: The start.....

I've joined a gym! Well, kinda. I'm doing a trial-membership. I decided to start my workout blog today because my internet has been out. Not anymore though! So I started technically working out two days ago. First day I worked out for 15 mins, second day around 2 hours, and then today. I have a workout buddy, too! It's so nice/relieving to have someone at my side working out with me. It's encouraging. However today I did it by myself and I did perfectly fine. So here's a little bit on what I've done today and what I'm trying to achieve.

When I started dating my ex, I weighed 160. Today I weigh 195. Talk about happy weight! My goal is 135-145 by December. My friend is wanting to lose 50 as well. I work out a little more each day but here's what I did today.

40 minutes on a treadmill at 2.8 speed. Cardio 25, fat burn 15
25 minutes on a bike. I think I did fat burn. I can't remember
5 minutes on the eliptical (sp)

I love doing the treadmill and the bike. I could go for hours... but the eliptical (sp) man oh man! It's awful! And I look over to my left and there's a guy around 60 years old just having at it on his. I was like oh my goodness how does he do it?! Maybe someday I'll be up to that level!

Last night I went and purchased every flavor or single serving smoothies/fruit(workout)/vitamin drinks I could find. Not in the workout/pharmacy section. In the juice section. I'm testing them out after my workouts. Today I'm doing this Acai Berry Diet Tea (picture below.) It's only 15 calories but if you drink the whole bottle then it's 30 calories. It's completely good for you. The taste is semi-acquired. It's definitely a huckleberry type taste. If you've had huckleberry honey (which is from Montana and completely YUMMY!!) then you'll love it. If not, it's got a honey type taste to it. It's not bad though. It's kinda like tea, too. So confusing, but definitely give it a try!!

 

Anyway, I can't wait to weigh myself in a week. I'm doing good so far! Wish me luck. :)
