Good thing I weighed-in yesterday!

As I said that I was going to make Monday my official weigh-In Day.  I managed to get up at 7:45 this morning, and had to get my son to school in a hurry and didn't get to weigh-in until nearly 11am. So, I guess my official starting weight for the week is 167.0lbs.  I'll try to catch up on housework, working around my exercise routine today. Dang! I can't believe I slept in so late! But in fairness, it's pouring down rain outside, and I can almost never get out of bed on rainy days.  The sound of the rain and the dampness in the air makes me want to sleep all day!  But life goes on, as it must.  And shall I. ;)  30 minutes of cardio today. (or else I get stuck doing a full hour on Wednesday!)

Good Luck to the Rest of You!

A slight loss, but a loss

Well, I was sick for a week and a half (9 days) with strep throat, so working out and diet, as well as the nice high metabolism I was building with my fancy exercise and snack-meal lifestyle, went all to hell on a hurry.

 I have, however, bounced back and lost a further 2lbs after the initial weight gain after getting back from being sick. This morning, I weighed-in at 167.0lbs! hooray! I'm almost into the 150s!  I was excited when I was equally as close/far from the 160s. But restarting a workout regimen is a great way to boost weight loss, so I may be able to drop those 7lbs in about 10 days or less, if I stay focused.  I want to get to 145lbs eventually, and I'm 22lbs away from that.  If I can average 1lb per day with a high veggie-volume diet and 30minutes of exercise every day, I could hack it.  I would love to lose those  lbs by Christmas, but that's going to be hard with 3 days spent sitting in a car.  But I can keep exercising when I get to my Hometown.  They have a fancy gym! :)  I've been wanting to check it out!

***Injury report:  My DH was tickling the crap out of me, and I fell of the bed and twisted my toe, so it's sore all over and around my toe....I'm still going to workout, but if it hurts, I'll have to back off...bummer! :(

WOOHOO! WEIGHT LOSS!!

     Hey everyone! Well, I went ahead and weighed-in, just to check my progress.  My current weight is 169.2lbs! That's a great way to kick off my weight loss!  Because I'm nursing, I have been consuming 1500 calories per day.  I have worked out for a total of one hour so far.  I cannot believe the difference just one hour has already made!

     I hope y'all are staying on track with me! If you've done your 30 minutes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you should be netting a 4lb weight loss this week!  But keep in mind that the less you have to lose, the slower it comes off, but just keep going!  You'll get there, I promise!  I have 24.2 pounds left to lose to reach my optimum weight of 145lbs.  I'm excited to keep working out and dropping these pounds!

      Have a wonderful day!
