Weigh In #3

Finally some results!! I lost a pound! I am now 145lbs. I am so proud of myself. I didn't give up and I got results!! YAY. Todays workout was harder then normal. I'm not really sure why, maybe because its that time of the month and I'm tired or because I had yesterday off and I liked not having to do anything. Whatever the reason I really had to push today, but I made it. I did level 1 and level 2. I am also starting to not take as many breathing breaks during level 2 and am starting to do some of the harder stuff in both level 1 and level 2. It will still probably be a while before I am able to do level 1 with weights though. I'm trying though and that is all that counts and it is starting to pay off. The first of November I will take my measurements again to see if I have lost any inches. I also think I am going to stick with doing my cardio dvd everyday, instead of doing it at the gym. I will just go to the gym a couple days a week to do some strenght training. I don't push myself hard enough when I am alone at the gym. I like the dvd telling me what to do and it getting my heart rate up to 173bpm. So I burned about 750 cals. in todays workout. I have burnt 862 total today and I am assuming that I had 150 burned when I started my workout this morning. I am also going to try and do something very difficult (at least for me). I am going to try and cut my carbs. I eat a lot of carbs through out the day. Oatmeal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, pasta for dinner. I LOVE carbs!! So I am going to try and cut out the easy ones, like bread and pasta, etc. I will probably slip up but I am going to try. I am going to replace them with protein. Chicken, steaks, beans, peanuts, etc and with fruit and veggies. So instead of having bread with dinner, I will have extra veggies to fill me up. Hopefully this works.
