EXERCISE: At least 5 sessions per week of cardio that also challenges my muscles.
NUTRITION: At least 5 full days of enjoying 6 small, balanced meals throughout the day.
WEIGHT: From a starting point of 160, lose an average of 1 lb per week. BMI is in parentheses.
11/08/09: Yes - Yes - 160 (25.8)
11/15/09: Yes - Yes - 159 (25.7)
11/22/09: Yes - No, but so close! - 158 (25.6)
11/29/09: Yes - No - 158 (25.6)
12/06/09: Yes - Yes - 157 (25.3)

If I looked at just the number on the scale, I'd probably feel disappointed since there hasn't been a big change in weight so far. But the scale doesn't know how to measure these really happy changes:
-My muscle mass has increased almost 5 lbs this week
-This week I've lost an average of 0.5% body fat per day
-Pants are starting to get baggy. Hooray!

Hope you're enjoying your own victories, big and small. Good luck on a brand new week.

Happy Monday everyone!

I had a HUGE whoosh this week :D

I hope to HIT One-der-land by V-Day! That will be the best Valentine's Day present I could ever give myself! I have to learn to love the transition that my body is making...however slow it may be. Each day I have to get up and say, "Today is going to be an On Plan day." So far, it's working.:carrot:

I havnt been working out 5-6 times a week the past couple weeks like I was doing at the beginning. Ive been working out like 3ish times a week and obviously my new favorite number is 2. BUT I am recommitting myself after finals tomorrow and will be giving 100% until next semesters finals..haha!

I have lost 18 pounds since the beginning of the challenge and couldnt be happier with that! Im just hoping I make it aleast under 220 for V-day! (My goal was 215)

Hope everyones had a fantastic week!
