226! 40 lbs down! Aww yeah!
July was a pretty good month, if you look at my daily weigh in graph it was a little scary, It was up and down all month, but I ended at 226 and the scale gave me a reading of 225.8 and 225.6 a few times. I stick with the first number it gives me twice. I thought a Tanita would be accurate all the time but I must stand on it a little different every time I recheck.
My plans for August are to keep doing what I am doing right now, but I haven’t decided if I am going to keep weighing in daily or switch it to weekly. I suppose it doesn’t really matter. On August 23 my daughter starts the 5th grade, and since she can’t handle walking long distances I will start walking that day while she is at school.
I am still terrified of hurting my back again, but I figure I will walk either daily or every other day. ( I don’t want to get burnt out) and then start the C25k sometime. I haven’t decided when… Maybe at 199. I’ll have to think about it a little bit.
I gained a pound last week. What… the… crap? I am so not impressed. I did really well for the most part too. My son turned 3 on Thursday and I didn’t count that day, but I know it wasn’t horrible.
Oh well, there’s always next week…
Still here and still losing, just not posting as much as I want to. I love to read other weight loss blogs for motivation, and had grand ideas for making the next new inspirational blog myself, but I don’t think I have it in me. I haven’t even taken any decent pictures.
I’ve lost 33 lbs in 10 weeks. 42.9 BMI to 37.6 BMI. 12.4% of my weight gone. I think I am doing pretty well.
Still not exercising. I hurt my back really bad in November when I quit dieting last time. I went to a chiropractor but he was a QUACK and never looked for a different one, and never ended up going to my regular doctor either. I am terrified of hurting it again. It was brutal. I think that once my daughter starts the 5th grade in September I will start walking again. I can’t do it now or else I would have to carry her after 1/2 a mile, she can’t handle long distances and she is almost 10 so I don’t have a stroller or anything for her.
I know I will be okay walking, but my dream is to run the Liberty Days 5k next 4th of July. They ran right by my house and I sat on my porch smoking a cigarette watching. Next year I want to be on that road running. I will start the Couch to 5k program after I walk for a while. I have never been able to run because of shin splints, but I will figure something out.
