Today, I discovered that I've finally gotten back down to my pre-holiday weight! Those five pounds that I gained were such a pain, and now they are gone forever. I have five more pounds until I reach my first goal, which I initially wanted to reach before New Year's Eve. A few weeks, late, but not a problem. I just have to stay focused and keep at it. I've been reducing my caloric intake by....a lot. I don't actually count calories, I'm just very aware of what I'm putting in my body, and of course how many calories I'm burning. Today was another great day! I only did an hour of cardio. I had to skip my cool down but I still burned more than usual. The past few days I've been aiming towards 700 calories in 65 minutes on the elliptical. Today I met the 700 in just 60 minutes! I think that this interval training is working really great. I think that once I plateau I'm going to give HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) a shot. I'm doing so well with how I've been working out the past week that I am hesitant to change my routine. I also have to pay more attention to what I'm eating. I want to eat more well-balanced meals. I've only been watching my calories, which I know is a huge factor, but I think that I can start consuming more efficient calories to help me lose weight. Anyway...today was a great day.
For today's song selection:
"How Will I Know" by Whitney Houston. Feelin the 80s tonight.
Love and all that,
