We are officially over the hump of this challenge and moving on to the last 2 weeks. I am pretty proud of myself because i have not lost momentum and a simple pep talk seems to get me up and moving even on the days i dont really feel like it. Sadly, i think i have lost about 1/2 the participants in the challenge. I am here to motivate and i am an ear to listen but i cannot make someone get off their hiney. Period. Alright, on to the stats for the week:
Weight: 140.2, Loss of 2.6 lbs!!!! As i suspected, i was definately retaining water last week which shows in my huge loss this week. :o) 130's here i come!!!
Measurements: -.25 inches. Not going to complain about that.
This Weeks Mini Goals:
1. Still focusing on the water! I cannot believe how much it has helped me drop weight...want to get at least 70 ozs in everyday!!
2. Last week i picked up another challenge, this one is an elimination challenge and had helped me keep my motivation up in hopes of "immunity." Last week my work was not in vein, my team mates and i worked our butts off and managed to burn 6000 calories, among other things, in 3 days! Pretty good if you ask me! So my goal for the week is to keep pushing and to earn immunity again this week.
3. Keep moving forward with C25K. Friday after taking a week off from some major shin splints i decided to give running another try. When i tried to put my podcast on for week 2 it wasn't there...only weeks 3-10. SO i figured i would give week 3 a try. Long story short, i am now on D3W3 and will keep moving forward! Its so much fun to see how my endurance is progressing.
4. Repeat after me...."i will not over do it on Thanksgiving!" lol. I may or may not log this day...im sure it will be terrible, terribly YUMMY!
5. Continue to have fun with this whole fitness outlook. Gotta keep things exciting and keep looking to better myself!!
Side Note: One of the reasons i started this journey was because i want another baby. I hated that i put on weight after Devon and really wanted to get control of my weight and health before getting pregnant...not only that but we need to have an idea of where we will be. My husband also said in the past "lets wait untill Devon is out of diapers, we dont want to go broke on 2 sizes of diapers and formula" <~ great point...Devon has been diaper free for almost 7 days and is waking up dry. If all goes well he may be potty trained. What i am trying to say is, i am scared for this part of my life. What if all my hard work reverts back when we decide to have baby #2? This is something i will have to work on mentally, we really aren't in the situation yet, but when we are settled in Cali early next year hopefully being there for atleast a year while Laz in training, this may become a reality and i will have to deal with it. Until then i will continue rocking it out and hope to be my goal weight with in the next few months...
Stay Motivated my Friends!!!
Now Go Workout!!
