Journey to fitness 7

Hope your day has gone well.  I wanted to show you guys somethings: I am doing the diabetes workout and I wanted to share with you the Koko Fuel:  I don't have a meal plan.  I've asked before about the info and the trainer was going to look into it but I haven't found out anything other than there isn't a meal plan unlike the other programs possibly because Koko may be expecting a nutritionist that a diabetic may go to
would set up a meal plan.  Just to let you know this isn't the case for me.  I have gone to a nutritionist and found it to be useless and the meal plan Koko has, is not really helpful.  I've been using My Fitness Pal app and logging my food and workouts.  The way I do it is whatever I can input I do for my cals burned and eaten.  The MFP is just a rough guideline for me to know how much I'm taking in and burning and it helps me become aware of habits.  Like I've said before I'm not perfect, I do eat drive thru and junk food but I do try to take in veggies and protein.  Finally the images below are from my portal and they are there to show you what you will look at when you have your access. I have just erased part of my name but all the info is true as you would see it.  Please know that I am putting images that are just to give you a feel of what you will see and yours will be different from mine. Thanks for stopping by and please leave me your comments if you have questions.

This is small but I'm just letting you see what you may find on your screen  when you have access to your portal.

Journey to fitness 6

I have finally gotten 100% Pace and 1000 points = T-shirt!






























It was a hard workout but not sore.  I did the elliptical and kept up the pace.  I think I get a better work out on that anyway.
I'm still going at it.  I'm finding that sadly my workouts at Koko are getting mundane and I need a change.  This caused me to try to do my xbox during my off days.  I'm still working out all the scheduling for workouts as I'm trying to do more than days allot.   Last week I worked at Koko on Sun and Tues and Mon I did bootcamp and then on Wed I did a light workout on xbox and then I just stopped Thurs - Sat.  Sunday, today I finally went back to Koko and got the "Perfect Workout".. Last time I thought I did but they said no I didn't have 1000 points.  I was upset and the lady said oh no you will get it just keep working at it.  I said oh I probably won't ever get it! It was a rough week with changes at work and then not really giving my body a break, not getting enough sleep and having Aunt Flo visit didn't help.  Anyway, now that I got the points and hopefully the shirt there's nothing to really strive for except the lanyards and well those you get just for working out so many times.  So at this point the workouts for me are stale and I need a huge change.  I may just drop Koko for a little while but the hard thing is I'm paying for it. I don't know I need some inspiration.

Journey to Fitness 5

Yay! I got 100% which means I had a perfect workout but alas no one was working the desk at the fitness club :( I got to share my moment with a nice lady at the club and so I hope her workout went well.  It's so bad that I can't remember her name but thank you for being there for me in happenstance. It's been quite some time since I've last journal-ed.  So just to fill you guys in.  I have been working on my weight loss since March 25th.  I want to control my diabetes (2) with food and exercise.  I've been drinking a lot of water, stopped a lot of soda though I still have a diet coke or dr. pep once in a while but other than that I am not really changing much of my eating habits which is not great but I have been logging them on My Fitness Pal app and I find myself working out to burn cals. to be able to eat what I want, though it's not always a healthy food choice. So here's some results I've been wanting to share:
I had my strength test:
8% strength gain! - Koko
Weight loss: 8 lbs - my home scale
waist inches: 3.5 - "Biggest Loser"

What I've been doing:
Koko, Xbox Zumba Rush and Zumba ABS/Core and Dance Central 1-3 Just started the "Biggest Loser 8 Week Challenge" at my apt.
I'm finding the Bat wings and lots of cellulite as I am losing the weight.
Apps I've been using:
Fooducate and Myfitnesspal to log my food. Ptracker (girl stuff) , Map my walk.
Wish to have:
Amiigo when it comes out!
Amiigo.com
 I didn't notice my body changes til I looked at these pictures and this is what I got.
**update** I didn't get the t shirt and was downer about the whole thing.  I was bitter and well I had lady stuff going on so I apologize to Koko manager for my behavior.
