Good afternoon everyone. I've been super busy this last week & this is my first chance to update for last week. I've been staying pretty much on track, gettig my workouts in, although the Cinco de Mayo margaritas did wreck a little havoc with my diet, but I had a great time & it was totally worth it. You still have to live right?

WI is tomorrow & I hope my weight is back to "normal". It shot sky high after the partying on Saturday, but's dropped a bit every day since. I have been 100% on track since then & keeping my fingers crossed for some downward movement on the scale tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone!

Howdy all!

Keep it up ladies, you're moving & so is that scale.

I had my WI today & down another pound this week. It's small, but I will take it. It's much better than those .2 & .4s I was getting.

Have a great day.
Kim

Oh my gosh! This is absolutely crazy. What is even crazier is that I can feel these changes (:

Eguest, Wow! Congratulations. You've had great weight loss & those measurements are excellent. Your hard work is showing. Keep it up chickie!

My exercise & eating for the last week has not been the greatest. I've been super busy at work & getting home late. Then there's really not time to exercise before dinner & no way am I doing it after I've sat down & relaxed with dinner. Ugh! But this week should be back to normal.

These are my stats from last week:

EXERCISE GOAL: Workout 5x a week
TOTAL WORKOUTS: 17/115
STARTING WEIGHT: 179.6
CURRENT WEIGHT: 177.2
GOAL WEIGHT 150
WEIGHT LOST: 2.4 8% towards goal

5/7 None
5/8 None
5/9 This is TaeBo (about 25 minutes) WI 177.2
5/10 This is TaeBo (about 25 minutes)
5/11 None
5/12 None
5/13 Walk 2 miles

So my goal for this week is to get off my butt & workout!

Have a great day everyone,
Kim

Totally forgot about this thread!!

Did my first mud run/obstacle course Saturday (the devil dash) and it kicked my butt! It hurt to sit up.. well it STILL hurts to sit up lol.

Next is run for your lives (zombies chase you! yay!) and then the big kahuna aka the tough mudder. It's an extreme mud run with more difficult obstacles and it's a half marathon.

Getting healthy one bloody shoulder at a time! (barbed wire scraped me.. and then I banged it trying to jump over a big wall. such fun!)

Weighed in this morning. Up a pound. Was happy with that because TOM is hear and eating has been bad so ono one pound was good to me. On day 4 of ripped in 30. Looking forward to finishing up week one and getting a new workout with week 2.

Thanks Kim! I have been working hard. It has helped me a ton to pre-plan my workouts. For example, my aunt and I have scheduled four workouts this week. Knowing that we have already scheduled a time & a place to workout makes me waaaay less likely to bail on getting my workout in. I think this has helped me a ton in not giving in to just wanting to sit on the couch all day.

Kay7Jay, I am doing a zombie run in Sept. How bad are the obstacles. I can't even run 5k yet but hopefully will be able to by then. I am just worried about how hard the obstacles are. I don't expect to keep my flags the whole time. It sounds like fun though.

The obstacles aren't the hard part for me, in fact they are easy when compared with the desert heat and getting through the hills out here. The obstacles are more a battle of will- I'm terrified of heights and they want me to climb HOW far into the air and then jump?!? Yikes.

I didn't bring any water (stupid, stupid) because I thought it would be too hard with the obstacles. My advice-- FIND A WAY TO BRING WATER! Seriously, the little stops they have with water are too few and far between.

Another piece of advice- train on similar ground as the 5k will be. For instance, mine was in the mountains/desert we have outside of vegas. I trained on mostly flat ground- WOOPS!

It's super fun to be chased by zombies though :)

Kay7jay thanks for the info. Ours is being held on a dirtbike race track. It has lots of ups and downs but not super huge. Where I run now has hills and slopes so hopefully I will be okay.

5/14 Yard work 1 hour
5/15 This is TaeBo (about 40 minutes)
5/16 None WI 177.8
5/17 None

I've been working pretty late every day this week & it's hard to get in my exercise. Monday I had to help hubby finish the retaining wall, so I guess lugging those blocks from one side of the yard to another qualifies as exercise :) Thankfully my eating has been right on.

Hopefully everyone has a OP weekend.

Kim
