Work Out Wednesdays

*****WARNING*****
This is gonna be an extremely long post, so be prepared.

Today I have 2 Dr.'s appointments. I have a health screening in which I have to give blood and some other stuff for my job. This is to make sure I continue to get the discount on my health insurance. I took the wellness exam that was required for us to take prior to the screening. I scored a 44. OUT. OF. 100! :( I am so ashamed. The reasons my score was so low was due to things I already know about. Poor sleeping habits, eating habits, and exercise habits. So at least I already knew about those things and have formulated a plan on how to change them. I may tweak this plan after I talk to the health screening people. I also have my yearly girly appointment with my ob/gyn today, so I will update later on both appointments.

So far this is my get it right, get it tight plan:
     *Make myself get at least 8 hours of sleep most nights. this means I need to be in bed by 10 p.m. Even if I'm not asleep at that time, I at least want to be in the bed resting.

     *Get up at 5:45 and go to the gym for at least 30 minutes of cardio, and 15 minutes of weight lifting. I will alternate my weight lifting between upper body, lower body, and core work.

     *Stretch daily (15 minutes) to increase flexibility (possibly do yoga).

     *Cut my portion sizes in half and start limiting carbs. I need to look for a snack that I can eat to fill me up when I'm hungry, but won't pack the weight back on.

     *Start eating breakfast, and packing my lunch.
    
I know in order to do most of these things I need to be more organized. I need to have a housework schedule so that I can make sure I am done with my daily cleaning and cooking in enough time for me to be in bed by 10. I also need to make sure I keep up with my daily cooking and cleaning so that things won't pile up and get behind. I will work out a cooking and cleaning schedule in my post for tomorrow.

I also need to lay out my work clothes and exercise clothes the night before. I need to pack my lunch the night before, and find quick breakfast ideas that I can eat on the go.
My prayer and meditation time are in the afternoon after work, so that doesn't change my morning routine.

I plan on making this a life change, not just a quick lose weight scheme. So I will update weekly with my results.

I'm gonna take my measurements and progress pictures tonight and update this post tomorrow. I haven't really worked out this week, so I doubt there will be any changes.



ETA: ok I got my blood drawn and my girly check up done. I won't know the results of my blood work until September when I have a consultation. I had to get stuck with the needle TWICE! I hate needles. I was told I have rolling veins and the nurse asked me if I drink water, which I took as a sign that I need to drink more water.
The girly check up went fine, I got my birth control perscription renewed (no babies for us at the moment). and was told that I need to lose weight. Something I already knew so operation get it right, get it tight is still in effect.
