Weigh in Wednesday!

Time to brag ;)

This week, I've lost 3, but that brings my grand total to 10! I am making progress! I can feel it, but can't wait to see it! My goal is to lose 20 by the 17th of July, so I am half way there now! Let's do this! I think I may put in extra time at the gym today since I don't have to be at work until 630!

I did slip and have a slice of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake yesterday. I was at Barnes and Noble and it was calling to me. I had my aqua aerobics class right after, so I figured, hey, I'll work extra hard and burn it off ;)

Class was so much fun yesterday! Our instructor is on vacation, I believe, and the sub didn't show up because she went to the wrong location. So we all decided to have our own class. I think I burnt more than the class from the day before! It was fun too. I feel like we bonded a little bit.

I am excited for aquafit tomorrrow. I haven't had a chance to go on Thursday's due to work and my mom says I'd really like the instructor. We'll see! :)

That's it for today!

Weigh in Wendesday...

I promise to start writing on days other than Wednesday. It has been hectic the past couple of weeks.

This morning's weigh in was a set back. I have still been working out, but I've just been craving sweets, which I wasn't at first. At work they have this "snack station" which includes no healthy snacks. I am going to start bringing my own snacks so that I have something healthy to eat if I get hungry.

I also need to vary my workout more. I like to get on the treadmill, but I need to do more interval training and also strenght/resistance training.

Fingers crossed, this will be a better week!

weigh in Wednesday...

This week = 3 pounds lost.

Grand total = 7 pounds in 2 weeks.

I'm not disappointed at all. In my head I always hope it will be more, but this is a healthy pace. I'm not on the biggest loser where they have help and all of the behind the scenes things, so I don't expect to see 10 or so pounds in a week. I think for starting two weeks ago I am going at a good pace!

YAY :D

Today is my mom's birthday, so she took the day off and so did I. We are going to spend the day hanging out/running errands. Tonight we will watch whatever she wants to watch and eat raclette :D

3 miles yesterday at the gym!

Yes... I'm a BIT proud of myself. I did walk the majority of it, but ran occassionally. I finished in 50 minutes, which I must say is pretty good for just starting back at the gym LAST week! I varied the incline (5, 6, 7 and 9) I did not go below 5 except when warming up and cooling down.

Today's session was good, but not as awesome as yesterday. I walked for a mile and then did some strength exercises for my arms and core. I wish results could be seen quickly, but I know if I keep this up it will happen!

Tonight I have a graduation to go to, where I will have a piece of cake, but I will make sure it is small. I believe I deserve a reward for the awesome workouts I have been putting in... but it is only for this one occassion!

Weigh in...

I am a big fan of the show The Biggest Loser. I haven't watched all of the seasons, but I have seen a few and it is a really motivating show. After I graduated High School, I gained a lot of extra weight. I am not proud of it in the least and I did try to stop it at times, but it is hard when you're going to college and don't have your own kitchen. Yes, that's an excuse, I could have made healthier choices in the Caf, but I wanted that patty melt or a pizza. The wraps were good, but how many of those could you eat before you got tired of them. That's what the Caf lacked... variety. It always seemed like pretty much the same options.

Anyway, now that I have graduated from college (a year ago :-/) and I work closer to home than most of last year, I have joined a gym again. I am determined to lose weight and get back to how I looked in High School or a little bit smaller. I was not comfortable with my body then, but now I look back and envy the High School me. I have a pair of jeans in the closet that were my FAVORITE pair of jeans in High School... I WILL WEAR THEM AGAIN!

Long story short. I started working out last Wednesday and today is my first day not working out, although I might cave and go before work! I am too ashamed of my weight to write what it is, but I can say that since last Wednesday, I have lost FOUR pounds! If I have learned anything from Biggest Loser, it is that any pound lost is a victory, so I will celebrate!

-My posts won't be as long from now on. I will be weighing in every Wednesday and possibly sporadically posting in between those days how I've been doing with my goal :)
