Back in Aug - Nov 2009 losing that 24 pounds was the hardest thing I had done I was very proud of myself and determined but on Thanksgiving 2009 I found out I was pregnant with my daughter all that hard work went to waste but it was fine because I loved her more and I knew how to do it right the first time next time.
I Offically stated this journey May 8 2011 My daughter was ten months I had stopped breastfeeding and I was tired of still wearing my maternity clothes. I was 180 5/8 This morning 6/20 I weighed in at 166.4 ( I know I was suppose to wait until saturday but I'm very impatient :D) That is 13 pounds and I couldn't be happier. I did tons of research about how the body works during exercise what to eat and how to do it. My favortie sites are http://www.weightlosswars.com/, http://www.aheathlyme.epnet.com/, and http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness#/video/all, http://www.calorieking.com/ (the best. it tells you how many calories is in food and how long to exercise to burn that food.) On these sites I use the calulators to see what my healthy weight should be for my age and height, to see how many calories I should eat and burn a day and the best excerises to do. I also spent a lot of time in GNC talking to the employees and reading every box in there. I came across this all natural vitamins for weight loss. Pay attention I said VITAMINS and not WEIGHT LOSS PILLS these are no Hydroxycut, Hoodia, Slimquick or Alli there are NO chemicals or ingredients that are harmful. I take them in the morning every morning like I did my prenatals. They are great I feel better I have more energy and they do help me burn more calories hence the pics. Also when I don't take them because I have no money or something my body has no effects.
This is my routine. This is what I did back in 2009 and What I'm doing now:
Morning I wake up at 6 that when the day starts in my house kids off to school and we go to work. take my Be Hot and I exercise for about a hour some times more when I have more time. I researched that working out first thing in the morning burns more fat and carbs because your body is on a 8 hour fast from not eating all night while you slept. If you eat first you are just burning what you recently ate.
Breakfast I eat hot cereal ( oatmeal, farina grits etc.) with a piece of fruit
Snack vaires from day to day and what I'm in the mood for. It could be a fat free low calorie pudding or Weight Watchers snack or Lean Cuisine snack
Afternoon I work out again for about a hour If I'm not going by time I aim for 1500 three times a day.
Lunch I eat a Lean Cuisine with salad Fresh Express Garden Salad with the Wish Bone salad spritzers no salad dressing.
Snack vaires from day to day and what I'm in the mood for. It could be a fat free low calorie pudding or Weight Watchers snack or Lean Cuisine snack
Evening I workout again depending on what I accomplished in the other two work outs I work out for a hour or until I've reached my total calorie burn for the day.
Dinner I may eat small portions of what I cooked for dinner for the kids or another Lean Cuisine with fruit and salad.
In total I don't eat more than 1200 calories a day while also watching my grams of fat, protein and carb grams intake and I aim for burning 4500. How much you will need depends on the weight you are trying to use, your current weight, age, height and the time frame to lose.
