Be Fit & Prosper

I have found that journaling is a good way to make myself accountable – to myself and anyone who starts reading this blog and actually expects me to keep it updated. So I’ll make an effort to share some of my healthy recipes, workouts, measurements etc…

So today I made an appointment with my awesome nutritionist Katie to get a baseline on what I am working from as I re-start my fitness journey, and I’m really glad that I did. My own scale and I have a love-hate relationship – it loves to make me hate it. Katie’s scale? Not so much. I weighed myself on the hate machine in my bathroom the other day and first thing in the morning, naked even, I weighed more than I did this afternoon in my gym clothes. To help track my stats, and to keep me accountable, I am going to post them here each time they are taken.

Measurements & Weigh In – 1/2/2013

After getting into my workout gear and getting my measurements, and knowing that we would be enjoying Benihana tonight for my husband’s birthday, I was motivated to jump on the elliptical when I got home. 53 minutes and one episode of Glee later this is what I burned. I figure it was at least enough to negate the irresistible chicken fried rice.

And finally, this song has been stuck in my head today:
