DEAR DAVE, WEEK: APPROACHING 20 ISSUES IN PRINT

You know what the means. There’s going to be tons of weight loss blogs popping up. Mine included lol

I’m trying to focus on food for July and then August I want to focus more on exercise while I have my menu sorted out that way it’s not all overwhelming all at once. Breakfast was good. I need to remember to drink water though lol oops.

This morning I was able to actually do some exercise before my day actually started.  Technically I woke up at 5:30 but didn't really start doing exercise until about 6:00.  It's definitely an awesome feeling even though I didn't do as much exercise as I wanted to do before 6:15 am.  I still did:

50 crunches (with weight ball)

50 leg raises (getting some ankle weights soon)

50 squats

20 lunges on each leg (a total of 40 lunges altogether)

I really need to stop taking breaks in my "routine" lol I can't seem to bounce back as quick when I take a break.  The other day I did 150 leg raises and I'm still feeling it. When I try to get up early in the morning and I just turn over I can hear ET the hiphop preacher "I thought you wanted this?!" It doesn't seem to help though I still go back to sleep -.- 

Anyway today I finally did something..its wednesday but better late then never I guess.

20 minutes on the treadmill

25 squats

35 seconds of wall sits

25 leg raises

So I haven't really done much of any kind of exercise these past two weeks.  I dont know if I should tell you why or just let you tell me that those are still excuses lol I have been maintaining my weight though according to the scale just not toning up. today is monday and its the start of a new week and a new day and i read somewhere that it takes 6 weeks to make a habit.

I've decided to start getting up earlier even if its just 30 min. then my usual wake up time to get in the routine of working out in the morning since i dont always seem to make it to the gym in the evening.  It kinda worked today.  I woke up at regular time but my morning was free and i spent about 45 minutes doing yoga and stretching and tossing around the weight ball so i feel pretty good today and actually getting a bit hungry which is right on schedule for me.

  I've been trying to drink more water too.  The only thing I hate about that is if you drink more you also have to find a bathroom more often lol but water really does help with keeping a peron energized and even keeping the bloating down.
