I found out today that a healthy waist circumference should be half of your height in inches. So for me, I am 5'6", or 66 inches. My waist should not be more than 33" to keep that visceral fat under control. I have about 6" to lose.
I went out cross country skiing on Sunday. Trevor was so supportive. He gave me the time to go out for as long as I wanted. I was out for about 45 minutes, and look forward to being gone for an hour next time. I made a track around the ball diamond park. It took about 2 turns to get up to speed. The third round was great! I hope my tracks are still there this weekend. Trevor will be gone on Saturday and Sunday, so I'll have to make time on Friday. Saturday we'll be in St Brieux for Ellie's hockey tournament.
I've also started exercising in the evenings when Trev's gone. I watch X-Weighted for inspiration while I work through some weight lifting, pushups, situps, lunges, squats, yoga and stretching. I reallys saw improvement on Thursday at the hall after doing this a few nights a week. I had way more energy and strength. I'm really starting to feel stronger and better. More confidence. It will only be a matter of time before I'm a lean mean machine!
My eating was totally on track this weekend too. I know I had more carbs than I should have, and not enough veggies, but it was very acceptable. I stayed close to my goal of 1500 cals per day, and was able to exercise every day. We tried to make it to skating on Sunday, but were running behind, and only put skates on the kids. I missed taking part, and will definately make sure we're at the rink with enough time to enjoy the ice next weekend.
I'm so looking forward to the new me! I feel in control for the first time in a long time. I can't wait to impress everyone with my hard work, and to reap the rewards of having a healthy body.
