haganemix Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hello! StatsSex: FAge: 27Height: 5'4Weight: ??? terrified to check Intro: I've always been conscious about my weight and have never stuck to a real plan to lose it! I've been super motivated before only to fail a week or two weeks in. I'm looking for accountability and the support of a community Main Quest: To fit comfortably into my old jeans without the muffin top. Basically I want to go one size down. Goals:Have a small-ish breakfast. Have baked chicken and veggies for lunch about 4 times a week. Go a bit light on the carbs for dinner (cut around 30% out). Get over fear of going to the gym. Get used to working the weight machines and just do it! Drink 2 tall glasses of water every day!Life Quest: Quit complaining about myself on social media. Motivation: To not cringe when I see myself in the mirror.. To have the confidence to wear a swimsuit and go to the beach. I also want to become stronger and not set myself up to get bigger as I age. I'd ideally like to visit the gym 3 times a week and do this kind of full body workouthttp://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ultimate-beginners-machine-workout-for-women.htmlRealistically, I just want to set foot in the gym and get used to it. Actually do what I say I'll do. I prefer weight training over cardio... well, I prefer no cardio at all Let's do this Quote Current 6 week challenge!!

Rzqnzhf Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Wohoo ! Kudos to you for already checking out the local gym !And getting yourself a new gears is a good move too. I'm not sure if you already planning to do this, but you could try to make the drinking as a habit as soon as you woke up. It will really boost your mood to conquer the day. All the best for Monday !

HueyLewis Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Working out at the gym was always torture for me too! Always looking over my shoulder, wondering if I was being looked at because I was doing a lift wrong, taking too long, or just not lifting enough. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how little people care. Best of luck in your challenge! Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment

ElemHH Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 I haven't been to the gym in years (I prefer bodyweight these days) but Iagree with HueyLewis. The last time I was in a gym, no one cared what I was doing, they were too busy worrying about what they were doing.

haganemix Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Signed up for the gym and had my first workout today. I worked on a few different areas with the weight machines. Got a feel for things =) Didn't want to go too hardcore on the first day.Drank a lot of water and finished off with 20 mins walking at a decent pace on an incline. That got me to sweat =o Man, that was actually fun. I didn't really like the last bit of cardio though.Can't wait to go on Wednesday. 1 Quote Current 6 week challenge!!

nooblysauce Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Awesome job getting to the gym! It's definitely a different world! I have found that I prefer getting cardio in through interval training. You might look something up about that, it gets your heart rate up without the need to do anything on the treadmill! Not sure whether a burpee or a box jump is actually better than walking on a treadmill, but since you're trying new things... =) 1 Quote My first challenge!

haganemix Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Oooo, don't really know anything about interval training. I'll read up on it! 2nd day at the gym. I was excited to go and spent a good hour there. I definitely drink enough water on gym days. They have this special fancy fountain and everyone gets a fancy water bottle, so I drink the whole bottle's worth twice when I'm there. Nutrition: I'm lucky to have woken up to some eggs and ham =o Breakfast: 1 slice of buttered toast, 2 eggs with some ham, a little spinach. Lunch: Made guac and ate it with half a pita bread. After the gym I ate natto (fermented beans)... wonder what dinner will be =D Quote Current 6 week challenge!!
