Day 13 is looking bright!

Slowly but surely I am going to get there! I have worked out steadily after work each day. I have my first mile out in 13:48. I walk for a minute to start at 3.7mph, then every minute and thirty seconds I alternate jogging at 5mph to walking back at 3.7. I do that for the first 15 minutes of my workout and then the next 15 I only walk at 3.7mph. For my 5 minute "cool down" I slow it down gradually by half a mph and make sure I do knee highs. Those burn but maybe it will tighten up my thighs! I can notice my weight loss everywhere except my lets/butt. I need to kick that butt into tip top shape! Lol. Anyways.... I'm still trucking along. I hope whoever is trying it with me is keeping up their motivation too!

10 days down, 20 more to go...

Well, I weighed in again today and didn't get too far. I have been working out steady the last three days after work. Every little bit lost though is just that much closer to where I want to be. It can get so discouraging though when you don't see the scale changing. That's alright though. Your body is changing whether you see it or not. You also have to look at how far you have come. I have lost 43lbs! That's crazy! That's a kid I was carrying around with me! On with the good fight!

Still kicking...

Wooo! It's been a busy week at work with opening hunting season here. That's good because I walk a lot at work and it keeps me moving during the day but then that also poops me out at the end of my work day. I have been slacking on the workout department because of that. My weight hasn't changed any and I have been having a sweet tooth lately so I need to drop the bad habits and get back on track here. I ain't gonna reach my goal by slacking off! Last night I got back on the treadmill and walked/jogged for 45 minutes. I am going to do the same tonight. I am going to cut out those sweet things I have been substituting into my diet for the nutritious stuff I cut out to make room for the crap. This is crunch time! There is only a month an a half about left of this year and I have big hopes for it! I will get my mind back into the game so my body will follow. Don't get discouraged by the bad days, make up for them with more good days. Lets do this!

Another one bites the dust

Day 6 is here and gone. Stayed the same today. Busy week at work this far. I haven't exercised after work the last 2 days again. Yesterday had dr. apts after work and tonight I'm pooped. Hitting the hay and bringing it tomorrow again. Nighty night lovely people.

Hot damn day 5!

I am kicking ass so far this month! My morning weigh-in made me very happy. I haven't been starving myself at all. I am averaging 1150-1200 calories per day and drinking plenty of water but I am down again this morning! I will reach my goal a week early at this rate and have the last week of the month to slow it down and maintain that weight. I don't want to drop the weight too rapidly. You can cause serious adverse reactions if it comes off too fast... And I don't want to gain any of it back. Forging on.... I hope everyone is doing great out there and reach their goals!

(That's 4lbs off!!!!)

Day 4 is over

Well, eating right has been going amazing. Exercise.... In 50/50 but when I do I push myself harder. I can now complete a mile in 14:20. Yup, I am doing a little bit better everyday I workout on my treadmill. I have been drinking tons more water too. I let myself get down to only 2-4 glasses of plain water a day and the rest was flavored (zero calorie of course) water or tea. I have bumped my intake up to atleast 8 cups per day and its making a difference. It's a new day.

Yesterday we were really busy at work with opening deer season. (Yay). I didn't workout after work but I did have a good day eating so I didn't gain any. Sitting the same this morning.

Day 2

This mornings weigh in- 219.6! I kept it down from last nights workout! I am under 220... I haven't seen that since I can't even remember when! When you start seeing the weight come off it really does push you to want to do better. We can do this together people! Bring on day 2!

First day gone

Well, the day went according to plan. My meals stayed on track.... Minus a pull and peel twizzlers Halloween candy I had... And I got in a 35 minute workout at the end of my work day. Post workout weigh in: 219.6. Lets see what the scale says in the a.m. after my supper. Bring on another day!

Alright, 30 day challenge starts now!

Today is November 1st, that means its day 1 of trying to lose 10lbs in 30 days. I hate waking up in the dark on these cold days but we will struggle through. My day is planned: quinoa for breakfast, turkey burger for lunch and a quinoa stir fry for supper. Work 6am-3pm, do my afternoon treadmill workout and then hit the hay to start again tomorrow. Lets do this people!
