Jan 6th 2012 | Getting Started

In December we joined LA Fitness. We made a commitment to workout 3 days a week. So far besides the Christmas breaks, we have been doing just that! We do about 30 -45 minutes of weight training followed by 20-30 minutes of Cardo. We bought a racket for mom so we can start playing racket ball for fun and we might try to take a yoga class once in awhile.

In additional to working at the gym, I play on a competitive girls Volleyball League. We play a week on Wednesday nights. It's a really good workout and I work up a good sweat.

As for our food choices, we are both taking some important steps to improve the way we eat, which will play an important part of our Goals. I have started a yogurt/smoothly routine. For breakfast every morning I make a breakfast smoothly. I mix one cup of Greek yogurt, one Banana, 1/2 cup of frozen or fresh berries, a table spoon of flax seeds, and sometimes I will add a little bit of honey or wheat grass powder.  I have also been trying to make a conscious effort to eat smaller portions of food and making choices when I eat that are healthier, less grease, less carbs, and more fruit & veggies.  I am also cutting out as much coffee and sugar that I can. Mom has been trying to Juice every morning. Juicing is making a smoothly/juice out of fresh fruit and veggies. She also has been dabbling in whole grain infusion cooking. I will have her write a post explaining a little more about what that is.
     



We both have a TON of work to do, but so far we made some great strides forward, but we still have a lot of work to do. Our goal is to meet our weight and wellness goals by June 22nd, which is my wedding day.  I have attached our "Before" pictures, these were taken on December 8th 2011.
