Ok, I'm back with more time to post. I went to the gym and did 30 minutes of cardio(elliptical) and 30 minutes of weight training (upper/lower body combo).
Here's my story when it comes to my stats. I went to the doctor last Friday and the scale there said 189! On top of that, she told me that I needed to lose about 20 lbs, especially if I'm TTC. Needless to say, that was my wake-up call and that day I decided to give Slim-Fast a try. The next day I weighed at home and the scale said 183.5. -5.5 lbs lost in 24 hours... Must have been some major water weight! Since then, I've been losing some each day. I'm currently at 179.5. My goal is to be in the 160s by March 7th (when my DH returns from school). So, I guess my stats would go something like this:
SW/CW/GW/Height/Age
189/179.5/169/5'9"/25
Is my goal feasible? What about everyone else's stats? My ultimate goal would be to get back down to 150. By the way, I'm a scale addict, especially since my goal date is so close! Sunday weigh-ins are cool though.
Danielle, if you are looking for shoes, try Payless! Their Champion athletics would probably work just as well as Nikes for a fraction of the price! They are also having their BOGO Sale. Insoles can be used to provide extra support. Also, Target and Wal-Mart have cute, reasonably priced workout clothes.
Hun.e.B, I'll have to try putting a banana in my shake! Sounds pretty tasty! I tried the Slim-Fast Optima Caramel Crispy Peanut meal bar yesterday. It was pretty good! It's more chewy than crispy though. Definitely more than enough to cure a sweet tooth!
Okay, enough rambling! I hope EVERYONE is having a great day! Hope to hear from you all soon! Take care!
