Yay im down a pound this morning! 3 more to go to get where I was when I stopped smoking then im back on track. I just finished a awesome workout on the threadmill and my heart rate monitor tells me that I burned 472 cals.. Im a little septic about it.. but I know that I really pushed myself like i've never did. My hair is as wet as if I had just came out of the shower.
What I did is set the threadmill to a very brisk walk (3.8) and did like this:
Min 1: walk and punch (boxe)
Min 2: walk
Min 3: walk and punch (boxe)
Min 4&5: 15 sec incline... next 15 sec higher incline... next 15 sec higher incline.. next 30 sec higher incline.. then decline every 15 sec
Then start over with Min 1 and do it all over for 30 min.
This kept my target heart rate at 85% the whole time.
Now for a little Just dance this afternoon if my daughter lets me have the TV some.. You know kids and saturday's cartoons!! lol

Welcome to my blog
Hi, My name is Nathalie and ive been on a weight loss journey since last may. Since last may I had lost 47lbs. That was SO close to my first goal of losing 50lbs. 14 Days ago I stopped smoking and it has set me back a little. I regained 4lbs because I stopped watching my calories, almost didnt workout and add to that St-Valentine's day and a familly reunion with pasta, garlic bread... candies etc..
I dont feel im struggling that much anymore with the not smoking and my energy level is coming back to where it was before I stopped smoking so today I decided to get back on track with my weight loss.
I recalculated my BMR wich is at 1472. So I need to cut 1000 cals if I want to lose 2lbs/week. Ive decided to cut my cals to 1000/day wich is a deficite of 472 so i'll need to burn 528cals/day exercising. Now to see exactly what it will take to burn all that lol. I'll be using my heart rate watch that calculates burned calories to monitor. I'll be doing some shape boxing on the wii.. some just dance... of course some threadmill and Jillian Michael's 30 day shred DVD. I'll also be posting my exercise journal and calorie intake using Loseit.com
My goal now is to lose 25 more pounds for summer to be at a weight of 135lbs. Can I do it?? Of course! Just watch me.
Now if spring could just arrive so I can start running also.. I sure looks likes spring outside today with a nice +7C.. but I dont think it will last... this is Quebec after all :-) Im sure mother nature has a couple more snow storms in store for us :-)
