Week 6

Tonight was weigh-in night. Good News!! I lost .6 pounds. I am so glad that coming back from vacation I was still able to lose some. Today was the second day of step aerobics, and I love it. The other thing I love is that my kids want to exercise too. T & E thought it looked like a lot of fun. Everytime T finds out that I have exerised, whether it is aerobics or yoga, she begs to do it too. I hope she continues to have this desire throughout her life. The other good thing about today, is it was probably the first day since starting this new journey that I stayed completely within my Weight Watcher points, and I tracked the entire day. Usually I am super good about this in the morning, and even through lunch, but by afternoon and evening, I slack when things get hectic with dinner and the family. Yahoo for little baby steps of success!

Here's how things stand:
Weight lost this week: .6 lbs.
Total weight lost: 6.2 lbs.
Weight still to lose: 108.8

This week's goal: Lose 3 lbs.

Well, I survived my ten day trip to Utah. I am happy to say that did not gain all my weight back while I was gone. I wish I could say I didn't gain any, but I did gain a pound or two. I am happy to report that I am back on the exercise wagon though. This morning was the first morning since moving to Texas that I did my step aerobics, and it felt amazing! It is a total old school 90's Kathy Smith step workout, and I love it. I have probably done this particular workout video over 300 times. Whenever I do it, I feel like I'm home. I know that probably sounds corny, but I absolutely love it. I do try to diversify a bit, but this video (now I found it on DVD) it definitely my go to workout. Hopefully I can lose the pound or so I gained on vacation before I weigh in on Thursday.

Week 3 Weigh In

As I suspected, it was not such a good week on the scale. I need to be a bit more dilligent on tracking what I eat. I think for me, portion control is the hardest part. I need to remember that food is to fuel my body, and just because it tastes good doesn't mean I get to eat as much as I want.

Weight gained this week: 2.2 lbs.
Total Weight lost: 5.6
Weight still to lose: 109.4

I just need to get myself over the bump in the road I keep hitting that sets me back. This is the week to do it!!

10-5-11

Today I got back to my yoga. I did yoga every weekday last week, and I had a great weight loss week. This week, I haven't been as careful tracking what I ate, and I wasn't as dilligent in getting my exercise in. I know for me that exercise is crucial to my weight loss. I know that my weight loss (or lack of it) will be affected by it. The good news is I feel like I am on the exercise train again, and even though I will probably have a gain at tomorrow's weigh in, I will be on my way to a loss for the next week. I am a work in process.

10-4-11

Yesterday I clocked the mileage of a mile and a half loop in our neighborhood. After I took T & B to school, I took E in the stroller and walked that loop. I hope to improve on my time, considering it took me almost 30 minutes to walk a mile and a half. Although I wasn't taking just a leisurely stroll, I also didn't speed walk the whole time either. I much prefer to run since I get shin splints when I walk for exercise, but at this time, I will have to stick with walking until I get a few more pounds off.

Successful Week!! - Week 2

This last week was a great, great week for me. On Thurday I weighed in at Weight Watchers and found out that I lost 5.2 lbs. Woohoo!!!

Total weight lost: 7.8 lbs.
Weight still to lose: 107.2

Staying motivated sometimes can be a difficult thing. As my weight loss progresses, I find that some weeks I am a little more motivated that other weeks. I also find that with a busy schedule I find it a little harder to make good choices. Wish me luck for this week. It's been a crazy weekend, so it is time to focus again for the upcoming weigh in.
