So I kinda dropped out for awhile, and BOY does it show! Went to Galveston with my girls & grandkids, had to leave early because tropical storm Gordon crashed our party, grrr! Oh well, summer is now officially over & time for me to quit playing around. Today I am committing to tracking again, no matter WHAT a pain I find it. I'm recording today's weight combined with a body fat% of 38.8 & waistline of 33.5" for a reason. I'm planning to run in a 5K on October 13th (Saturday, haha!), so I need to start running again, plus adjust the diet. I'm also trying an experiment with a video I found on YouTube called 7 Day Workout Challenge to Lose Belly Fat. I'll try to add the link here:

To test this thing out, I'm going for about 1500 cals a day, which probably won't be low enough for weight loss but is still probably lower than what I've been eating lately, LOL! I'm just going to focus on cutting out the sweetie treats & having chocolate protein bars & shakes instead of chocolate candy or cookies for snacks, and nothing after dinner. This includes the Bailey's I've been drinking lately. Love Bailey's but I don't normally drink, so surely I can skip it for one lousy week? It'll still be there next Sunday. For exercise it'll just be the usual running 3x week and elliptical 2x week for about 30-45 minutes, which is what I normally do, plus this roughly 12-minute workout video for the abs. Hopefully the waistline will be a bit smaller, though I'm not really expecting much improvement on the body fat%. Still, I could be in for a pleasant surprise! I'll track exercise minutes on a spreadsheet, and food intake here. Surely I have enough discipline to do this every day for ONE WEEK??? I'll be posting regularly & post the results next Sunday. Wish me luck!!!
