Day 1 of getting my body back!

Wt- 127.9
Breakfast - cinnamon oatmeal and peanut butter on toast.
Snack - hardboiled egg and apple.
Lunch & Dinner- soon!

Today my back was still hurting. Almost decided to delay my workout until the next day, but afraid I will keep putting it off. I don't want to be one of those fat personal trainers. I decided to do just the warmup portion of the routine and if I felt better, I would continue.

 After moving around a bit and  getting the blood flowing my back actually hurt less.

Did  Workout #1 from the Fatlosstogo.com program.

I warmed up with  a 6 lb medicine ball. Did 10 reps of woodchoppers and squat with overhead press until 2 minutes was up.  Immediately  I followed up with 8 reps of DB swings (used 10 lb for all DB exercises), regular pushup (I did this instead of the chest press listed for the routine because I prefer pushups)  and DB  push press. Just a few  weeks ago I was doing 20 lbs with the DB push press.  Now 10 seems like a lot. After doing the above circuit for 8 minutes I finished off with burpees done tabata style. 20 seconds of work/10 sec rest for 2 minutes.

Intense!

I felt more worn out than when I run on the treadmill.  Total workout time- 12 min!

The good thing about the 12 minute workout- not so famished at the end. Didn't feel like stuffing my face. Had my apple and egg and felt satisfied.  Before i would train for nearly an hour and then stuff my face in a way that I am sure negated my progress.

I promise to never let myself fall so far back in my progress. I also injured myself so I know that has alot to do with it but it doesn't shut that voice inside me that tells me I am weak. I  must not become discouraged. 

Weight wise I don't have that much to go. I want to at least get to 122. That's the weight where Iremembered feeling fit and not starving.

Going from 127.9 to 122 is not impossible, although it feels that way. I tell my clients it's a slow process and there is no quick fix. I have to realize that's true for me as well. Some of my clients have much farther to go than I do. If I feel this bad being 5lbs away from my goal wt...I can only imagine how it feels 10 lbs out, 15 lbs out...etc.

When I was pregnant I  did lose about 60 lbs to come down to 115...but I had a baby I was busy with and I actually was less concerned about the weight. It pretty much fell off.

Now I have no baby and my weight is my main concern. It's not falling off although it's only 5 lbs. I must be patient.
