FitKit- week #1 check-in
follow me on my journey to getting fit- http://www.bassgiraffe.com/category/fitkit-challenge
This week was a rough one for me. I really stunk at following the food plan. This is not a reflection on the FitKit plan, it’s just me being lazy, again… I will be switching to a new plan which you have read about in another post.
I do want to say I am LOVING the workouts. I love how my legs hurt the next day after a good hard workout. I’m sleeping better and have more energy during the day. Also something that is a praise from working out is my ovarian cysts are starting to go away. My doctor said I could get them to go away if I would workout more (working out releases hormones, however I am not your doctor so I suggest anyone with cysts talk to their doctor first before using only working out as a way to help. I just refuse to go on The Pill to “fix” the problem) but I really never felt motivated, since getting the FitKit I feel motivated. It’s something nice to be able to reach for and easily get a quick workout done with.
This week I weigh in at-
245.5 lbs
total loss- 2.5 lbs

I am always trying to find a way to get motivated to work out. I get it, then after a month or so I lose it.
What type of ovarian cysts do you have? I have them too and I have never heard of exercise making them go away…that would be wonderful!
Sara,
I don’t know what type they are but my doctor said I should take The Pill for hormones to help them shrink, I refused to take “the pill”. He said that exercise is good too, not as effective but good because it releases hormones and would hopefully help them go away. I hadn’t had my period since July and 2 days after working out I could feel (very bad pain) my cysts “popping” (not really popping but I can’t describe the pain any other way), and now I am having my period. I see my doctor on Friday and hope for good news about the cysts.
Melissa,
I am the same way. I think it’s cause I get bored with the same old same old workout. Try switching things up a bit and/or have a friend workout with you and keep you both accountable to keep with it.
Good for you! I am so happy that it is working for you. Meal plans are hard, even more so around the holidays…Just watch those portion sizes and be more aware of what you put in your body during the holidays
I have a blog hop today about this topic…feel free to add your post.
