Finally. I've gotten through seminars, hubby being out of town and all the celebrations.
I'm ready to start.
Got up and rode the bike for 46 minutes today. Went for 11.4 miles and burned 247 calories. All that before the day even started!
I want to start the bowflex today as well, but not too much since I don't want to hurt my shoulder again and I am just getting started. I tend to be one of those "I want to do it all in one day" type people and I have to prepare myself for the slow and steady.
I've been so exhausted and I'm hoping that getting back into the exercise routine will help with that.
We aren't supposed to wait for the timing to be "right" because then we'd never get anything done, but I've had some issues, so it's good to know that my time is here now. And I'm ready for it. There is something to be said about having your mental state in the right place. There can't be a right time if you can't get there mentally!
Now I have to plan the menu for the week - I know the key is eating a lighter dinner and trying not to snack after dinner. I will try and plan accordingly. If I make up something that is just really good, I'll pass it on here! I'm going to have fun trying to create tasty meals that satisfy. I'm also going to try and learn to cook less. I've always cooked for 6, even when there's only a few of us home and no matter how much I made, we'd eat it all. Now that it's just 4 of us here most of the time, I need to learn to cut portions accordingly.
As I need humor to get me through this, I'll leave with this for the day:
