I haven't been on here for a little while because I need to update my computer. It wasn't allowing me on and even today after three tries I just got on! When I started my post, I was 248. I had some health issues (kinda personal so I won't talk about it) then I got my period, a particularly bad one and then I was eating out of my plan during it. It was pretty bad and I never do it but I did this time to cope with the pain and bloating. Anyway I am back on plan. Right now I am down to 244!!! I am 6 pounds away from my big time goal of 239. When I get to there I will just need to lost 11 pounds and I will be where I was when I was 21!! So I am very much looking forward to being 228. I did clean up my home but I still need to pamper myself. Ugh! Still working on that and I controlled my anger at my girlfriend when I thought she was ignorning me when I was calling her like crazy so that I could go to work. Come to find out she was in the hospital. I could have gone off and would have possibly lost a very good friend but I didn't and now all is good! Still eating right and working out minimum of 6 days a week and feeling good. I am getting the compliments again and I feel great!! Hubby and I had a great weekend this weekend!! I might have to put a leash on him. This summer my daughter will be home and because she runs in pe at school I told her three days a week she and I are running for a minimum of 40 minutes at a park across from the house. The park has small hills. We are going to walk and run in the park. It's beautiful! Green grass, nice big park and nice. That way I am killing two birds with a stone. She can stay in shape and I can finally start running again, something I haven't done since I was in high school at age 16! I am pretty excited by that!! By the time school is out I should be pretty close to my goal and I know walking and jogging would really take me to where I wanna be so I am very optimistic about that.
Alright, today was weigh in day. and so I did! I was expecting more of a loss- and i still think I lost more. So no complaints over here. I did well all week- no real cheeting. Excerise 3x gym and few times in house. the scale read 191lbs so thats a 1lb loss this week for me. But I am SO bloated from TOM- its coming ugh! so I probably have a few lbs of water weight on me right now. The sugar urges hit me full force aswell. I am trying to beat them! Self control, just a little self-control.
Starting Weight (beginning of challenge)= 197lbs
Current Weight 191lbs
------------------------
Total Weight loss -6lbs.
Alright I guess thats not to shabby. Keep motivated, Keep on track, Keep going!!!!!!
Hey everyone. Well, weigh in didn't go quite as well as I hoped it would this morning. I'm up from last week, but still down from my start weight. I tried adding in healthy snacks in between meals, and cutting down my calories for dinner and ended up gaining. I also exercised quite a bit this week. I bought two new DVD's, both interval workouts, and I was so sore all this week. I also did some water jogging and ab exercises in my pool, as well as went run 2 days. I'm not sure if the snacks are what caused me to gain, but I guess I'll see after this week cuz I'm cutting them out again. I've gained 1.4 lbs since last Monday. I still feel pretty good though, I just finished walking/jogging 3 miles with my boyfriend and his sister.
So far this month--
SW: 170.4
CW: 169.4
I'm starting to think maybe 10 lbs. for this month is pushing it a little too far, but hopefully at the end of the month I'll still see some inches lost.
189 today. I am hoping it will keep going down. I am losing at a weird time of the month and didn't lose when I normally do. My body is so screwed up it is ridiculous. Just when I think I have it figured out it throws me for a loop.
All I can do is continue eating right and working out. I know that if I do those 2 things, eventually I will lose weight.
I had a little revelation this morning. I had a little binge yesterday - just cheese and crackers and some cookies, but it wasn't thought out and I wasn't really hungry, so it was a binge. I only went 65 cals over, but I digress.
I've been counting cals since February, but not really being very good about it. I'd take weekends off, eat my exercise, throw the whole day away if I didn't eat a good breakfast - and I wasn't losing... Go figure! Exercise was a walk around the block 3 times a week and if I drank one water bottle I was doing good.
Before that, in normal life, I thought I was eating healthy, but just because you don't eat too many processed foods doesn't mean you aren't eating way too much - even healthy foods. I tried a 'weight loss shake' for a couple months and didn't understand why I was gaining, until I figured out the cals and found it had 1000+! On top of a normal day of eating!!! No wonder!
So, now I'm doing the Shred (and I can almost do all of level 1 without stopping) and I am really trying to figure out how to get more veggies in and stick to a good plan of eating - no cheats! Figuring out my binge yesterday was hard, but at least I was honest with myself.
I may not be losing very fast, but I can feel myself getting stronger, and my clothes are more flowy and less fitted. I feel good! So here's to the bootcamp for waking me up to what was really neccessary!
There was dancing, there were whoops, and there was also relief, as my sister is coming to stay this week, and I was going to have to try hard just to maintain while she's here.
To be fair, my goal was fairly conservative at 3.6kg (7.9lb), (I chose the next roudn number) but I am still thrilled that I've managed to get there with 10 days to go!
Things seem pretty slow around here. I am working it with food and exercise. Did HIIT today. Will do 5k on Friday. Working in my yard tomorrow, since I took a day off. (cough, cough) I was at 189.2 today. Can i get a little lower please??? 188 would be awesome.
It was great this morning....there was only 6 of us. After a few laps around the court, she set up 6 stations:
Basket Ball throw
Bicep curls
Bent over rows
Burpees (I decided I hate those)
Tricep dips on bench
Mountain climbers
We did each about 1-2 minutes and then switched stations. After one circuit, we then got partners and did side steps tossing the ball and then did another partner exercise where we tossed the ball and then jumped and turned around.
After a few minutes we went back to the circuit and did it again. Then did the partner stuff again. THEN we did the circuit again in reverse.
After that we did the 2 partner exercises and then another one where where we stood on one leg and kept tossing the ball back and forth. The goal was to make our partner drop the other leg. When one person dropped the leg, we switched legs.
And finally, the cool down/stretching. It was a non stop hour...the layers came off. Started out cold but warmed up where I almost was just in my sports bra and shorts.
Right now I am down to 244!!! I am 6 pounds away from my big time goal of 239. When I get to there I will just need to lost 11 pounds and I will be where I was when I was 21!! So I am very much looking forward to being 228.
