Body for life - back after 4 years

January 21, 2006

Hi all! My name is Amy, I live in the great state of Alaska. Four

years ago I did my first body for life challenge. I lost 15 pounds

and got down to a 21% bodyfat and a size 6/8 (128 was my lowest

weight but was most comfortable at 132). I am 5' 6 " tall and turn 37

tomorrow! : )

I managed to keep it off for about a year until I got pregnant with

my son. After my son was born I did weight watchers and lost most of

the weight but wasn't in the shape I was in before. (I have an almost

6 year old girl and a 3 year old boy)

Well, over the last year my weight has started creeping back up and

it's time to take it off for good! : )

I play ice hockey about 3-4 times a week and am trying to figure out

where those fit in my workout schedule. They are pretty high

intensity (you are on the ice going all out for a 60 seconds - 2

minutes) then you sit for a few minutes then go back out again and

the games are about 55 minutes long. I haven't been counting it as my

cardio, am wondering if I should.

I started BFL on Monday and my hubby is doing it with me this time.

It's been fun working out together. : ) I did start eating

healthier last week before I started BFL officially and between that

and the hockey I play, have already lost 4 pounds so I am very

excited.

BTW, next week I am playing in a women's hockey tournament in Las

Vegas! I am so excited am worried about blowing it at the buffet

tables. (we will play at least 4 games so I know I can at least work

some of it off!) Any eating tips? (healthy ones, LOL)

Gotta run... : )
