HI all
How is every one? I am fine....I take it one day at a time and and aim towards a life long change.
Today makes my 2 year mark since the day I started my weight loss!
Down, being at 148.2 now, 64.6lbs and only have 23.2 lbs to go!
It really feels great that I have done this and kept it off. I think I have only had one pit fall which was back in July-September of last year with a big move. I gained but then lost 8lbs. I hope to see my goal weight soon and to maintain for the rest of my life
Now that we have a Harley I need to look good in my chaps!
Aphil, You are doing great!! I need a little help.
I seem to be stuck again here at 148? I have had a few minor nibbles during dinner time but am sticking to my same eating habbits. I have really been eating even cleaner this week and last trying to drop a few more lbs for my tripp to Maine in 2 weeks. My time is so limited even on weekends it seems like the day comes and goes and I run out of time. I am still using my elliptical for 20-35 minutes 2-4 times a week and I am able to go all the way up to the top resistance "10". I also am doing Pilates 1-3 times a week and am still doing laps here at work out side as fast as I can walk for 15-30 minutes like 3-4 times a week. I have had to skip a day here and there lately becouse of time! I hate that....but sometimes I have to make that choice. I go for weeks puting the workout 1 st and sometimes I have to just decide to spend that hour playing a game with my DH or if I have a after work appointment and get home too late then have to cook?
I feel good about what I am eating and do work out at least 3 times and more often 4-5 times a week. How can I get over this platue? I would love to do weights and mix it up but I do only have 40min-1 hour a day and in that is late evening hours to work with. Last week I took one day and since we were in the pool did spurts of fast laps and rested inbetween. And this weekend for the first time in a long while I got on my treadmill and did something I have been hearing about were you run as fast as you can for 30 seconds then rest for a few minutes than run again. So I did that like 4 times in a row. It got my heart rate up. They said this is equaly to an hour regular work out but you have to give it all you have for that 30 seconds. Anyone heard of this?? They did all these studies and they compared it to an hour mid range work out and said it was equal in physical results and health wise? I feel like it is a struggle now to see 1/2 in a month go!
I need to get an even cleaner diet and some how change or up my work outs I think??
Hope you are all doing well....
Amie
