Day 2 - My Epic Plan to Demolish My Goals!

Hey Ya'll,
My first post yesterday was really focused more on my reasoning on wanting to get fit. It was just a scratch on the surface of why I really want to reclaim my mental and physical health but it was a good start for me. I will probably post a little later about some of my more serious reasons but today I want this to be happy! I'm done feeling sorry for myself! So lets get to the meat of this post... What's my plan?
Well usually I have very lofty goals for myself usually consisting of hard workouts that I can't maintain and a diet that is less than 1200 cals. This is also why I've never been successful before. So lets scratch that plan, Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So note to self Marci, lets not be so insane! I want a plan that I can maintain. I don't mind losing weight slower if it means more lasting results.
So on to my plan. I am not reinventing the wheel here so this plan is going to be attainable but challenging at the same time. I love Instagram and follow many fitness trainers, and ones that have just lost a lot of weight doing things the good old fashion way, by eating healthy and working out. While pursuing IG like I normally do, I found Malzisfit. Check her out if you are on Instagram, she is so inspirational! I check out her website as well Malzisfit.com and found a 6 week beginnings weight loss program. Its a 6 day/week workout schedule that is challenging but works for me! I purchased it and it was only $7.99, this is just including workouts, I am doing my own thing on food. Here is how the workout is broken up:
Monday: Legs and Glues
Tuesday: Cardio
Wednesday: Upper Body
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Cardio
Saturday: Arms and Abs
If you want detailed workouts, checkout her website and order the program, so inexpensive but great nonetheless! What's great about this is all of the workouts can be done at home! Score! I do not have a gym pass and I have a 2 year old energizer bunny for a son so it works out great for me to workout at home. I am only on day two and let me say, I am really worn out and tired. I almost didn't want to do cardio today because my legs were so sore from yesterday but I pushed myself. I'm really trying to focus on the fact that this is a 6 week program, I can do anything for 6 weeks right?!? YES I CAN! I will check in each day to put my thoughts into this blog and hopefully can hear some of your experiences with weigh loss or your struggle with weigh loss. I would love this blog to be motivational and encouraging to anyone who is in the same boat as me. We can do this, this is our year to take the reigns on our life!

I'm a lover not a fighter but I'm putting my dukes up!

Hello World!
My name is Marci but my friends and family call me Mars. It's nice to meet you. Today is a BIG day for me. Why? Well let me answer that question in the shortest way possible. I am taking the reins back on my life and am ready to work my butt off to feel mentally and physically healthy. This is usually the time of year when I feel this way, crappy, tired, and self conscious. But why do I feel so much more crappy than I have in than in the years past? Well last year I started the year off all GUNG Ho about changing my lifestyle. I was at an all time high weighing in at 182. This is the heaviest I have EVER been in my life besides when I was pregnant. So its been a full year since then and guess what I am weighing in at now... 176. Now I know the number on the scale shouldn't matter but I am only 5'6 and I am not healthy so this has got to change. My healthy weight where I feel good and comfortable in my own skin is 145. Now this is before I had my child so I am not sure what my healthy number is but I am ready to find out.
The purpose of this blog is to chronicle my life events, my ups and downs and everything in between. I also want to gain support from like minded people trying to better themselves. I hope I can bring some support to you if you are on the same journey. Lets work hard to make this year our year and change our lifestyle to one that we can feel happy leading!
Till my next post,
xoxo
