I'm up'ping my cardio!

As it exists:

1. Jog every other day for at least 2.2 miles (works out around the block that way)
2. Jump rope almost every day for 2 minutes.. 3 times a day.
3. Speedwalk 2.2 miles

What I'm adjusting:

1. No breaks on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday... and sticking to every other day for results.

Since I've joined, I've become addicted to calorie counting, and i've lost 5lbs! Anyhoo... I'm hoping this adjustment in my schedule will make things work better.

I've also just started lifting weights in my apartment gym.

Any suggestions on a good app to use to keep track of weightlifting?

    I'm going to try to cut out all the sugary snacks that have been creeping back into my diet that I'm sure have been the cause of a month long plateau I've had.

    I'm also going to try mix up my long jobs with some speedier short runs.

    Best of luck to us all.

    My PT is always telling me you're got to lift weight if you want to shift weight :-)

    AHHH I know that feeling! I bought a bunch of banana's and the original cheerios. Each cup of cheerios is ONLY 100 calories, and if i just put it in front of my keyboard, i can nibble on it here and there and it keeps me satisfied for some reason.

    Also, that's an awesome quote from your PT!

    Ugh. Gonna drastically cut back on the froyo and Jamba Juice that are almost daily "treats." Sooooo tasty, even if they leave me calorie-strapped, hungry, and craving more (and let's not talk about the energy fluctuations).

    Everything in MODERATION :-/

    Besides, I'm due for a good drop - clothes have been getting consistently looser!

    1. Workout Consistency - 3x week weights, 3x week cardio
    2. Strive for 5 a day! (veggies of course), and reduce the amount of wheat I consume.

    This November, to help me lose 10lbs ...
    I am going to up the intensity of my cardio workouts, maybe try interval training.
    I would like to try to cut out coffee because I use the sweet coffee creamer and too much sugar as well. Drink more green tea.
    I want to reduce my sugar intake.
    Eat more protein.
    Start lifting weight 3-4 times a week.
    And keep off the couch.

    To lose more weight in November I am going to

    *I will keep it CLEAN-only clean and nutritious foods for me! (Thanksgiving aside)
    *I will incorporate more days where I eat vegan
    *I am doing Les Mills PUMP (a weight lifting program) and I am going to increase the weights I use and the duration of my workouts!
    * I will eat more (smaller) meals each day
    *I will keep my water intake over 12 cups a day (I live in AZ so I need extra water as it is even without working out as much as I do)
    *I will look for more ways to incorporate exercise into my daily life!

    More veggies & more exercise.
    The hubby and I made a pact to commit to bringing our lunches and not eating out as much. In addition I have got to remotivate myself into working out more & walking the dogs on longer walks.
