I've been slack...don't judge me.
Okay,so I've been a little slack here and there. I got a little lazy with the tabata, because I wasn't doing my best at all. I wasn't really pushing my limits and that caused me see less and less results. I still haven't lost any weight, but I am more toned. I need to take measurements, but I can tell by my clothing. What am I doing now?
A couple of summers ago, my husband and I were working out together and all of the lessons started flooding back. He had me using weights. EVERYTHING was toned. So, now we have incorporated weights into the routine and we are using the treadmill instead of walking. For now the treadmill is keeping us honest and giving us goals. My new mantra is that you can't cheat on the treadmill. Basically, what that means is that you can't slow down without pushing the button and you can't decrease the the incline without knowing.
When I get off this couch and exercise in a couple of minutes I will be doing this:
1 mile on the treadmill-I will be doing between a 2-3 incline, 3-5 speed during each lap. I am trying to decrease my time.
100 reps for my upper arms to rid myself of the flappy arms
100 reps of ab exercise. My favorite is the twisty v. Maybe I'll remember to make a video of it today.
100 reps for chest to try and help the girls sit up.
100 calf raises because I think it helps to protect my jacked up ankle
100 jump rope jumps. I know that's not a lot, but don't judge me.
So that's what I plan on doing today. I'll take the computer outside and video the sit up things.

6 days 'til 366
Hi family!!! I am so excited about starting my 366 days to health. Now, I will warn you in advance, if you aren't already aware, I am not the most consistent person so this is going to be a BIG lesson in discipline. I am going to make my best effort to apply and try everything I know about health to my own life.
Like many of you I have completely over done it and thrown caution to the wind this holiday season. I have even been eating meat *gasp* and yes I enjoyed it. The results of my negative dietary turn have been as follows:
Although I don't push other people to be vegan I know that my body functions MUCH better when I am a well balanced vegan. The reason I was able to notice all of the symptoms listed above is because they went away on a vegan diet.
My change will start with a cleanse. I'm thinking MC because it is the best for getting fast results. Then I want to move on to a combination of smoothies, juices, teas, and of course water. BTW, my husband bought me a Vitamix blender which I am SO excited about. It comes with a ton of recipes that are SUPER simple. I am SO excited about feeling better. I am also going to add exercise back into my day EVERY day in some way...well that's my goal. I want a rebounder too. They look SO fun.
I will be uploading some vids, pictures, measurements, and updates on how my health is improving.
