After being contacted by someone at REVOLT a few weeks ago, I decided to go ahead and try it. REVOLT is a way to lose weight online with online workouts, nutrition, and support. I'm currently doing the 28 Days of Sweat Challenge, which focuses on cardio and strength training, and it's kicking my butt in a good way!
I'm going to put it all out there and tell you that I'm almost 130 pounds, which really isn't a lot to most people, but considering I'm only 4'10" it is. I should be somewhere between 100 and 115 since I'm petite. I had been doing the Nike Training Club app and I really do like it, but I wanted something more, something to really make me sweat and really make me feel the burn afterwards.
Once you sign up and log in, you can download the Getting Started guide, watch a video to help you prep, and join the Facebook group. You can also download the meal plan and the workout plan. Further down the page, it goes by week, and each week a new workout video will be uploaded telling you which days to do it. It's all so easy and helpful and it makes exercising seem a lot easier.
Just so you all know, I won't be doing the meal plan because I still live at home and my mom generally makes me lunch and dinner. Her food is always healthy and full of vegetables, so I'm all set. I really just have to make myself accountable and not eat at unhealthy places anymore or snack too much.
I would drink soda maybe once or twice a week, but I'm going to try and stop altogether and instead drink more water and tea. We're supposed to drink a gallon of water a day, but I don't think I could handle that. I have a 20oz FEED water bottle and my goal each day is to drink at least three whole bottles of water.
Goals: Obviously my goal is to lose weight, but I'm not actually sure how much I need to lose. I'm really just going to focus on what I look like rather than numbers since numbers won't mean anything if I start gaining muscle. I don't just want to be skinnier, I want to be stronger too. Although I don't want to be super muscle-y, I do want toned arms and legs. But right now my target areas are my stomach and my thighs.
This Week: I did all the videos for this past week! If I couldn't do it on the exact day (Wednesday I had school and didn't want to look like a sweaty mess), so I did it on Thursday along with Thursdays video. I can tell you right now that my arms and legs are definitely hurting. I'm walking weird because my calves are sore. I'm taking all this as a very good sign. I also drank A LOT of water.
Current Weight: 128.4

I really need to be more active, I always have these moments when I get lazy, and then a few straight weeks of hard core working out, but it's best to be consistent! Let us know how it goes, I know how hard it can be for some people and you're doing great steps right now! :)
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see your progress, good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI WISH I still lived at home where the cooking was healthy!!! Detox week was brutal. I failed a few times at the meal plans, it was really hard for me to choke down all of those veggies and meat. :P I think this week will be better. I just need to find the time to work out... so terrible. Stupid midterms! :P
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I've wanted to try Revolt so that I could be better about excercising. Ever since I stopped swimming, I rarely get out and excercise so I've been trying to find something that I can stick with it. Can't wait to hear more about it!
