Okay it's Monday!
Revamp the ol caloric intake!
Don't make cookies!
Don't buy peanuts!
I mean, those are totally related to my fitness. I try fitness whole can of nuts in my face. *eyes roll madly*
Back to work!
I'll do hops and jumps, squats and lunges, and lots of dancing today while changing out this gas tank.

Welp, 3 days into Active April and I haven't picked up my weights once and yet again indulged in carbage at a family gathering. But I carried my thick little 2 year old nephew around a whole bunch yesterday...that counts as weights right?
It's on tonight though...Mondays are the nights I volunteer at the doggy daycare/foster facility, so I'm running dogs for 2 hours. Those weights are coming out when I get home. ACTIVITY!!!2 -
Goals for Active April:
Cardio 5 days per week (2-3 miles)
Strength training 2 - 3 days per week
Get 10,000 steps on Sundays
Keep carbs 30 or less
Allow myself ONE treat on my bday (the 18th)3 -
I did a lot of walking on Saturday but I didn't track steps. I know I at least got in a mile, though. Sunday I didn't do much walking though I saw way more of the interstate than I cared to and it was an emotional day anyway. Today at lunchtime I will get in my daily 1 mile. I've also started a challenge with Leslie Sansone doing (at least) 1 mile a day. I figure, why not combine all three challenges and, who knows, maybe I'll win the trip to Vegas.3

I am 2 days into actually going KETO/LCHF. I have been slowly cutting out bread products, sugar, gluten, and pop so hopefully this transition will be a bit easier than cold turkey.
Active April Goals:
Set a goal and work towards it.
Carbs < 40
Use MFP daily
Learn to use my new activity tracker when it comes in
Add activity if not daily, weekly

My "trainwreck April" has already started. Family Vacation, 2 birthdays (one mine), reunion with college friends trip, 2 work trips.... So I have not made the best food choices and we're only 3 days in! However! I have killed it exercise wise and am on track for my 15 miles this week.

*waves* Okay this weekend was bad (I was under 100 net carbs yesterday but barely). I know today is going to hurt but I'm still here.
Active April Goals:
Carbs - Back to under 40 net
7500 steps a day (shoot for more)
Yoga w/Adrienne April schedule 3x per week.
I'm waiting for blood work to come back to see where I need to work on nutrition but that will get updated today.3 -
4/1 - massive yardwork, emptying sheds, cleaning them out, reloading them
4/2 - big, monthly, we live an hour from grocery store shopping trip

30 minutes activity: dancing yes!
(Plus 90 minutes bonus.)3 -
Was in Vegas last week and we walked about 5 miles every day, perfect way to get me back into wanting to be more active at home. Finally got a tv stand/storage hutch for my workout/sewing room so now I have an organized space to start doing my DVDs again. My goals are to switch things up to keep from getting bored or into a rut and to get strength training back into my life.
4/1-jetlag kept me on the couch except for grocery shopping.
4/2-1 hour on the elliptical at my gym on the fat burning setting. It showed fewer calories and steps on my fitbit but I don't care, I sweat more and felt great after.
90 mins of bowling last night too but our league is ending this month. I need some warmer weather to get out on my bike.1 -
1 mile lunch-walk is now officially complete. For today.3

Day 4 checkin:
Diet (yesterday) - good
Exercise - did leg work at the gym this morning0 -
4/3 Kettlebell workout in the morning and evening. I walked over 5.5 miles. I completed Day 3 of Beachbody Challenge. My carbs and calories were good.1

I've completed 3 walks on the treadmill so far this week. I don't think I'll have any issues making my goal of 5 treadmill walks. I am a bit disappointed this morning though. I weighed myself for the first time since starting low carb, after 5 weeks I've lost 14 lbs. I was really hoping to lose 20, since I am starting heavier at 279lbs. I think the culprit is alcohol, it's the one thing I haven't been able to give up. I am drinking probably 4-5 bottles of wine a week. I'm sure this is hindering how much weight I'm losing. I'm going to try my best this week to give up wine until Friday or Saturday night.2
