10 weeks…
…until the end of the school year, that is. Ten more weeks until my schedule is more flexible, until my stress decreases a bit and until I can completely kick ass. I’m not giving up until then but I do realize that the weight I can lose during the school year isn’t as great as what I can do during the summer.
My plan for the summer is to do Chalean Extreme which is a 90 day program. I sold my Total Gym over the weekend and the money from that will pay for this workout system. I’ll also be busy getting our house ready to sell so I’ll burn extra calories that way. Plus, keeping busy is a great way to avoid extra eating so my calories will be under control.
So for now my goal is to be out of the 220’s by the end of the school year. I’m in the mid-230’s right now so it’s definitely do-able. Then, I should be able to lose 20 pounds over the summer which puts me below 200 for the beginning of next school year. My size-12 goal dress that I wanted to wear for my hubby’s graduation is now going to be my 1st day of school dress. I’m ok w/that, it was an ambitious goal and I know I’m not going to go from an 18 to a 12 in 5 weeks! If only
Today has been good for food and exercise. I have very few distractions for the next 2 weeks so my goal is to be on plan during that time w/my usual exception on Sunday. I have done it before and I will do it again.
Days on plan this month: 19
Progress toward workout goal: 210/250
Forgot to update my Slump Busters progress. I’m not going to keep track of the water ounce by ounce b/c I generally drink about 120 ounces or more a day, so as long as I drink my normal amt. of water I’ll be ok.
Exercise: 75/250 minutes
On plan eating 0/5 (I’m not going to record it as a day on plan until tomorrow!!!)
I hear ya about school- with my course it’s killing me- spending like 20 hours a week OUTSIDE of class studying and preparing it’s insane. If I had 20 hours to work out in a week I’d be hot! lol.
Good luck to you, and isn’t it nice when people say “you’ve lost weight!” At my bday party people were complimenting my loss and then my sister’s and brothers (we were all dieting) and my hubby was like dude what about me?! lol. I was like what about you- you aren’t TRYING to lose weight :p
