Weight Loss Progress

Weekly Health Check In: Week 1

I am trying to get back exercising and have been doing the Wii Active 2 9 week challenge. So far my goals are to burn 1,000 calories a week and work out 4-5 days a week. Week one goal accomplished.I've got to get some motivational things on my blog for this. To say it's a struggle is an understatement having a metabolism disorder AND pituitary tumor doesn't make it easy. Easy to gain five times harder to lose. Yeah I am not fat for overeating and being lazy. Imagine that? If I get a little venty in my blog I'm sorry. I plan to use my blog in the coming year at least once a week to write about my journey and it's sure not going to be all green grass and butterflies, I am sure there will be spiders and weeds a long the way. One way or another I plan to be lapping everyone on the couch no matter how slow I go.

I am going to need some cheerleaders...

We are almost done with week one of operation healthy Carissa. I am on a 1700-1900 calorie diet along with Eric. Working on clean eating and exercise. My goal is be be active at least 20 minutes a day and burn at least 200 calories. Seems easy enough right? Like many things it is always easier said than done, although it does help to have a garden where you can pick fresh veggies every day. The exercise is where I struggle and struggle A LOT! I don't enjoy exercise unless it is in the form of swimming or basketball and I really STRUGGLE with it when I am SO tired because I have slept all night. So if I ever come to mind say a prayer. Change is hard and I won't lie I hate change.
