Back in the Gym

Well, it's been a week of me back in the gym. I'm sore, and I am not quite sure how to hobble up and down stairs. At least it's getting better the more I move. It's nice to be back in the gym. Once I get inside, I almost enjoy my workout. It's just the matter of getting to the gym that discourages me.

I am at 131, but I'm not too bummed. I have always put on muscle quickly, so I have no doubt it's the beginning stages of building muscle. After 4 weeks of this program, I am allowed to do cardio again, so then I'll be able to start losing fat. I am realizing how weak I am, by lifting. Hopefully that changes soon!

We have made a budget, and now it's figuring out how much we can afford to spend on food. Once we get that set, it will be much easier for us to plan out our menu for the week. Then, eating better will become more routine.

I'm excited to see what happens!

Meals are Prepped

I'm still sitting at an even 130. I don't like it, but it's my fault. Lately, we haven't been planning out our meals. We normally use a calendar board on our fridge so we can plan out each meal for every day of the week. 

Today, I fixed it. I not only planned out of the meals for this week; I also cooked them. Well, only lasagna and chili. But since Alex will be gone most of the week, and we will both be gone for my birthday weekend, there isn't a lot to prepare. But that way, I won't have to worry about spending an hour cooking. I can just pull one of those two things out of the fridge and have a quick and healthy dinner.

Hopefully this menu board gets me back on track. Once I lose a couple of pounds from eating better, I'll head into the gym and try to push off the last few pounds. 

Have a great week. Thanks!
