Monday Weigh In

I weigh 176.0 on the nose.

I have lost 16 pounds since January 4th. That is 7 weeks, and about two pounds a week. Just right!

I have 31 pounds to lose. The same stupid pounds I lost two years ago. Except, this time I am taking more time to enjoy a treat here and there. Trying to make LASTING changes. And, so far I feel no deprivation. I wake up happy each morning knowing I am working towards an attainable goal.

Next weekend, I have my own boudoir session! Eeep. That will help me get my miles in this week! **session has been rescheduled now until April. Bummer.

And to keep doing what I am doing!

Weigh In - Sunday

So, because it is Valentines Day, and I am heading out to get a special dinner or something somewhere with my honey. I have decided to weigh in a day early. I of course, usually do it tomorrow (Monday). But heck, I will do it today instead. I want to enjoy, and not be a slave to the scale.

So, todays weight is:

177.6 (down a pound) 32.6 to go.

Down 14.4 total from January 4th. Nice and slow!

I will be running tomorrow to make up for tonight ;D

Week 5 - Monday Weigh In

OK, remember I didn't weigh in last week, as I injured my foot and didn't get much accomplished.

So, I thought get on that darn scale. I had a good week last week. I got out running 4x's.

So, weigh in today was 178.6

Down 2.2 from two weeks ago. That makes me happy, the scale is moving down.

Onto another week!

33.6 pounds to go until goal!

Week 4 - Monday Weigh In

Well, the hard work paid off. After last week only losing .2 was pretty discouraging. However, today I am happy to report I lost THREE pounds this week.

Previous Weight 183.8
Current Weight 180.8
loss of 3 pounds
total loss 11.2
35.8 pounds to go
BMI - overweight (from obese four weeks ago)

If I keep working out hard, recording my calories, drinking my water, having my vitamins it looks like I *could* drop into the 170's by next Monday.

Today, I will start week 4 of Slim in Six! Two more weeks to go! I just keep pressing play! (and wake up and put on my workout gear so the moment I get back in the house, I am ready to workout!)

Happy Monday! And a nacho splurge tonight!

#500in2010 - 2K or 1.25 miles

Week 3 - Monday Weigh In

Well, after almost 7 days of spotting, my cycle/period kicked in today. How annoying is that?!

I am only .2 down in weight as I am bloated. I think next week by Monday more should roll off my body! (YES PLEASE!) I weighed a 183.8 this morning. Hard to swallow when I worked so VERY hard this whole week. Oh well, blame the horrormones.

It was a lot easier to lose weight the first time (after Coco, and breastfeeding) these periods are brutal! Yuck. I have noticed night sweats, and tired. Maybe I am in perimenopause?! I am 38, heading to 39. Not sure.

So, this cycle was 33 days apart, and the month before 27 days apart. Still 'normal' but really annoying.

Enough about that.

So, I did my slim in six, week three, day 1 this morning. I LOVE it! I am feeling a lot stronger already! I cannot wait to see what happens with my body shape in the next three weeks. My running clothes are getting looser! That is good!

Tomorrow, I jump down to the 10k clinic, and I am excited about it! I am so thankful to be able to run!

Week 2 - Monday Weigh In

Well, all of that hard work paid off (and I even slipped in a piece of cake--very small slice) this week.

I am down eight pounds! And that leaves 39 pounds to go to goal of 145.

I worked hard, and MADE/FORCED my self to MOVE seven days this week. I will continue that trend this week as well.

I have my whole week planned out, and I am sitting here in my workout gear. When do I work out? During the day as soon as I get back from dropping off my my big kids to school. That leaves only two kids, and the house is pretty quiet. So, I fit it in where I can.

Usually I walk, but today is SOOOOO wet and dark that I will drive them.

I would LOVE to see my weight dip into the 170' s by next week. That is the plan!

Today, I will do my 48 minute RIU tape.

Happy Monday!
