New Year, New Goals

Just like everyone else I know. I have decided 2012 will be the year I get back into shape and start living a healthier life. Of course we are only 8 days into the new year and I am pretty sure I made the same resolution last year :)

So far I am doing two workouts, a simple one I found on pintrest and EA Sports Active. I must say both are kicking my tail!! Jordan has started running again, and I am sure he will be at his goal weight well before I am even close to mine.

We are also trying to eat healthier. Jordan's Mom gave us a lot of food for the Ideal Protein diet. Jordan is doing much better than I am in this department; I just love food that tastes good! I can honestly say there is nothing about a diet shake that gets me excited. We are, however, cutting out bad snacks and eating more healthy meals. No, I haven't lost anything, yet, but I do think things are toning up. I am going to try to do better on the Ideal Protein this week, so maybe next week I will see more results.

I also thought I would include my first week's worth of workouts just to make myself feel more accomplished :)

Day 1: 20 jumping jacks 10 crunches EA Day 1
Day 2: 30 jumping jacks 15 crunches EA Day 2
Day 3: 40 jumping jacks 20 crunches EA Rest Day
Day 4: 50 jumping jacks 25 crunches EA Day 3
Day 5: 10 lunges each leg EA Day 4
Day 6: EA Rest Day (I had to work the basketball conession stand)
Day 7: 55 jumping jacks 10 sit ups EA Day 5
Day 8: 60 jumping jacks 15 sit ups EA Day 6

I have been doing well for one week, but I start graduate school back tomorrow. I hope to be able to continue my workouts with teaching, cheering, school, and a 3 almost 4 month old. More to come about sweet MA in another post...
