What Milujute Is Up To:

Milujuteupdated Motivation Level to 10/10 and said: "feeling energized and positive...finally! "
This is after working out 6 days a week for 3 months...and 2 different nutrition plan attempts...as you can see, compared to my Jun 08, I really need help! Hopefully Bethany's plan and advice will be the kick my body wants in order to show off the lean I've worked so hard for! At this point I hadn' ...
My fitness goals for 2009 are: TRAINING: do 20 deep knee bends; do 20 full situps & do 10 Push ups; and fit into my lavender party dress for new years eve.
Goal (Long):
I want to allow my body to be what it wants to be without judging it or trying to make it something it isn't. My goal is to let go of preconcieved notions of what I think it should look like and focus on fitness progress not on what fat is sitting where, know what I mean?
My long term goal is to have this flabby overhangie, gross skin gone (had it since an emergency c-section for my long lost daughter...they cut right across my lower abs so I've always had this horrid thing since then. Fortunately none of the boyfriends/husbands I've had since seem to notice or care. So I try not to ... but I hate it!!! )
I worked out, hard, for over a year and really my body didn't change, well it did a little, as you can see from my progress pictures, but not bunches. I became very unmotivated after 14 months (Xmas time 2008) my gym time went down to 3-4 times a week. Weight training all but died, tried to rekindle the spark a few times, but failed totally and I've been having more than 3 cheats a week on a regular basis (3 cheats are my recommended limit from my Dietician) and missing breakfast! The lack of motivation was also helped along by a severe iron deficiency which peaked around the same time & for the last few months because I was going through alot of tests to find out if anything was wrong. The net effect was me, feeling bloaty and yucky and tired ALL the time (The Iron deficiency does the tired part) and I gained 10 lbs. But now, I don't know if its because spring is finally here, or because my energy is back up due to iron supplements, but my motivation is totally back to where it was!
I Created a new workout program for the next 12 weeks. Drafted up a new tracking book and drafted up a new nutrition plan (that fits with what my dietician recommended.)
My goal is to feel energetic and not loose faith because I'm not losing inches as quickly or as much as I want to.
I eventually want to fit into a bikini, without this saggy yucky thing hanging there. I hear I have to get my bodyfat to like 15% or something for that to happen....well it's something to shoot for. If I had a dream it would be to be on a fitness magazine cover! Why? I don't know, because it would be freaky and fun to see yourself on a mag cover at the grocery store. Can you do that at 45/46? I don't see why not. I think it'll take me like 4 or 5 years to get there! So that'll be a long term goal!
What mistakes did you make when you first started working out?
Quitting

What is the one tip you would give somebody who is just getting started?
Don't quit

What is your cardio exercise plan?
Run Training for an hour on Monday Morning, then Aquasize 1 hour at night time with my workout partner. Run Training at Gym on Wed for an hour (in winter add Wallyball, vollyball in a racketball court, for 1.5 hours at night). Then it's an hour run training at the Gym on Friday morning, followed by 30 min on the recumbant with my workout partner in the evening (she's really not into the run thing...) In the fall I'll be adding Belly Dance on hopefully Monday early...although I guess Aquasize, Wallyball, and Dance are really turning into activities and not exercise...which is good!
Starting tomorrow, on top of this, add biking to work and the gym and adding jump rope between sets...see if some added cardio will help my fat *issue* :) :) :) Run Training for an hour on Monday Morning, then Aquasize 1 hour at night time with my workout partner.
