Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

31 Jul, 2008

Well…

Posted by: travelgal In: General

I lost .8 lbs this week.  That’s certainly not remarkable.  But, at least I didnt gain.  I’m not going to throw an epic tantrum this week.  But, I still think I need to change things around because something’s not quite right if I am losing weight this slowly.  I do admit i have been going to the gym more like 3-4 times a week rather than 5-6 due to a busy busy social and work schedule.  That’s not really an excuse.  But, my gym is only open till 10, and when I get off work at 5, it doesnt really leave me with many options, especially if I have a meeting or event at night.  Nonetheless, I need to step up the exercise.  So, next week, my goal is to go to the gym everyday except for Thursday because I have a dinner plan and do 45 min of cardio and 45 min of weights and abs, on every one of those days when I go to the gym.  Well, on one or two days, I’m playing squash as well, so on those specific squash days, I might say 30 min cardio and 30 min weights and abs.  Also, this week either on Friday (tom) or saturday I will be completeing week 6 of my c25k plan and starting on monday or tuesday depending on my schedule, I’ll start week 7.

Also, food wise, i think I’m going to try to take down the calorie ranges a bit to 1200-1300 per day next week starting after the weekend, because clearly, not losing weight shows that I just have too many calories coming in for the amount I have going out.  So, I’m going to have to play with that as well.

Lastly, expect a post tonight that along with my day’s food recap, will discuss the challenge I am facing for the entire weekend, and how I plan to face it head on.

Happy Thursday everyone.  No tantrum today, just severe planning for the weeks to come!  I am still aiming to get to 180 by august 21.  That’s 7.8 lbs in 3 weeks.  Which is 2.6 lbs per week.  Ha, it’d be a miracle if I actually made that, but if I step up my game, I just might.

Congrats on your .8 loss!!! And esp. on the lack of tantrum this week! :lol: Our girl is growing up! Ha! I couldn’t resist that one hee hee! Nah, really though if ya can’t rant and rage in your own damned blog then that’s just not right! I know you can do great this month. You got a good plan and if you stay on track I know you’ll see 180! Just go right ahead and get it done! I’m going for 10 this month, unless we take a vacation than I’ll have to change it a bit. Okay then, let’s slim down for August!

Congratulations on the loss! I think it is great that you did loose, even if it isn’t as much as you wanted, at least it will keep you motivated to keep pushing harder. Love your attitude! :)
