so this is my first official post, despite that i have been on a regimen for about a week now.
i have been doing three major things daily to acheive my goals:
1. i do at least 30 minutes every day on the wii fit. this is made up of yoga, strength training, and aerobics. the yoga stretches out the muscles, helps work on posture and balance and generally tones. the strength training consists of things that work your muscles, doing jackknifes, sing arm stands, torso twists, and similar exercises. it feels really good and helps build up the muscles. the first day i did them (last week sometime), it killed me, especially the day after. i did them everyday until this monday because i had a schedule switch up going to my dad's. i am already feeling a difference from less than a week.
2. eating better is key. i try to have salad at least once a day to get in my vegetables. along with that, i am working toward getting down a fairly regular schedule. in the past few days, however, that has become much harder. not only are my work hours slightly erratic, but i began working at dunkin donuts. so far, i have been able to sustain from eating the bad foods there, but i am not so good at avoiding the free iced coffee. i drink it with cream and sugar and i know it isn't the greatest thing for me. i am going to do my best to balance that out with what i eat at home and with the exercising i do.
3. i am becoming a great drinker of water. one of the best ways to stay healthy and lose weight is to drink water and flush all the toxins out of the body. i am growing accustomed to drinking as much and as often as possible, which should also balance out some of the coffee drinking that will inevitably come from working at dunkin donuts.
so there it is, the greatest keys to my success.
so far, i have already begun to notice a difference in the way that my clothes are fitting which is very encouraging. we shall see how it all continues from here!
