Back on track...sort of

Happy to be home...not enjoying the weather tho.  You guys couldn't will the good weather that I missed to stay?!!?  At least it's suppose to get warmer later in the week...and I can go out with the dogs without having to worry about freezing to death.

So I got back Saturday night...and yesterday was a completely wasted day what with the jet lag...and the fact that there was no food in the house when I returned home. And therefore I made the excuse that I was pretty good while away (lost 2 lbs) and Kurt was good while I was gone (I don't remember what he lost)...we ordered a pizza...and ate a couple slices for lunch...and a couple slices for dinner.  But today we are back on track...even though I feel its later in the day that in actually is.

We got up this morning, had some coffee and a granola bar, and went to the gym.  I had a 15 min consultation with a trainer (Jason, the same one Kurt had last week)...told him my medium/long term goal is to lose 70 lbs...and he instructed me to focus on cardio working my way up to 45-60 minutes three times a week...until I get about 20 lbs from my goal, and then I can start adding some weight training in.

Today I did 15 minutes on the elliptical trainer (was aiming for 30 but my right foot started to fall asleep) and 25 minutes on the bike - Regis and Kelly helped keep my mind off the time :P  Kurt did 30 minutes on each the bike and the elliptical trainer.  Then we came home to weigh and Wii Fit...and realized that it wasn't a good idea to have the pizza yesterday.  He gained 0.2 lbs, and I gained 0.4 lbs, which I'm sure is from the sodium in the pizza that is causing water retention.

So my plan is to do the heavier workout (cardio at the gym) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and then to walk with the dogs on Tuesdays and Thurdays (and maybe the weekend too...but lets not get ahead of ourselves.)

In the two weeks since we started, I have lost 5 lbs and Kurt has lost 4 lbs...and for anyone keeping track, Oreo has lost 1.75 lbs...only 8.25 lbs to go.  :P

I think at a month, we will again post pictures and our weight as a timeline of our progress.

Time to shower.
