Thursday Weigh in~ August 29 2012

Well I lost 0.8 this week, not quite a pound but that is okay I will take any loss. This week I only worked out twice because of my Plantar Fasciitis bothering my foot so much, which is not an excuse I should have swam at the Y on those days. but my total weight loss is now 20 pounds, maybe next week will bring me into the 200's and out of the 300's.

Thursday Weigh In~ August 24, 2012

So I have been at this trying to lose weight for two months now as I started in earnest on June 24, 2012. I started to Journal what I eat on MyFitnessPal, also started up at the YMCA to exercise, in the beginning I did not last very long with cardio and now I can do a 55 minute Zumba class, I can walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath. So my goal was to try and lose 20 pounds by today, well I didn't quite hit 20, maybe because I haven't made it to the gym since Saturday. I have done some walking and some other activity but not like I do at the gym. But as of today I am down 19.2 pounds so I am not that far off my goal. My other small goal is to be out of the 300's and that is close.Maybe next week or the week after if I don't hit the dreaded plateau. I will make it to the gym today after work, that is a promise. This weeks loss was 1.4 as I said making the total 19.2

My Thursday weigh in two days to late

I did wake up in the morning on Thursday and weigh myself as usual, However I never got a chance to write a post about it because first I went to work, then while working got a call from daycare so I had to get my little princess and bring her to her brother and get back to work, then Friday I was super busy too!
So anyways on Thursday August 16, 2012 when I stood on the scale I had lost 2.8 lbs and now down 17.8 lbs .. I am very close to being out of the 300's. The scale says 304.2, at this time I will most likely be at my 1st mini goal in a couple weeks which is to say good bye to the 300's forever.

Measurements

Even though I took measurements before, I decided to keep track of them on here so in about a month  I will measure again. So even though with previous measurements I was 7 inches lost I am going to start over with these previously I didn't measure my calf. so that one is fresh today, the jeans I wear at the moment are womans 24's. Just so that is noted as well, a few weeks ago they didn't fit and couldn't button now they are comfortable. I can almost get my 22's buttoned now as well.

At about 5 pm I have an appointment at the weight-loss clinic for a nutrition class, and because I have to weigh in weekly there and I am not going to drive there 2 times this week just for a morning weigh in. Either way the numbers different because of clothing but it will also be after I have eaten I will update what that scale says later on and also any activity I get in today 

Edited
The scale at the WLC said 309 from their scale it still reflects a 2.5 weight loss. 
I went to the gym last night at 7pm, I made it 30 minutes on the elliptical for the 1st time ever, then I did 5 minutes on the stair-climber and 10 minutes on the bike 

last 40 days positives and todays workout

I have given up my favorite soft drink Coca Cola Classic

I use Truvia or Stevia in the raw instead of sugar in my tea

I have slowly switched myself from 2% milk to skim milk

I use correct portions, I still have pizza but I eat it in moderation and have salad with it.

I drink alot of water at least 6 6 oz glasses a day.

I have been exercising regularly both cardio and strength

I went to a group exercise class last night something in the past I said I would not do, I lasted the whole 55 minutes of Zumba class.

I went from 10 minutes a day of cardio to like 25-30 minutes.

I have lost 7 inches off my body and 12.6 lbs so far, more to come folks.

Someone told me my face was thinner last weekend great non scale victory.

I can walk a mile and not feel like I am dying

Today I went up a flight of stairs without getting winded, I was wowed by this and I did not take the elevator, yay me!

my pants are getting looser which were previously barely buttoning and I can almost get the smaller size on just not quite buttoned.

I am thankful for the support I get from Myfitnesspal friends, my IRD friends, and some close friends. And most of all from the Angel on my shoulder MY MOM I LOVE YOU And miss you so much but you and my kiddos are my greatest motivators! 

Edited at 6:30pm

Today I had a day off so I spent some time in the gym kinda as my last chance workout as they say on the biggest loser.

Today I did 15 minutes on a stepper machine

25 minutes of strength exercises

40 crunch's

30 90 degree reverse crunch's

20 minutes on the elliptical (longest time yet)

then after the gym I went on a 25 minute walk 

today was a good fitness day.

Tomorrow after work I wanna get in some cardio. I need to weigh in at the nutritionists office, though i do my own weigh in in the am with no clothing obviously that weigh it will be with clothing and in the afternoon so I am sure it will vary 

Chuck E Cheese Today

My friends sons birthday party is being held at Chuck E Cheese today so that is where I will be this afternoon. I am working 8 to 11 then I have to come home and pick up my little princess and bring her to the birthday party. We will be late because the party starts at 11 and that is when I get out of work.

Yesterday I went to the gym and did some stair climbing then my strength workout and last a walk on the treadmill, the day before I did 35 minutes of various cardio.

I want to try to get my self up to 30 minutes of cardio when I do the strength exerises and and 1 hour on the days that I don't. But I am doing babysteps and doing what I can.

Weigh in Thursday~ August 2, 2012

Yesterday was a rainy day and I am bummed out that I didn't get to walk as I have been doing the last couple of days, I had a long day and also didn't make it to the gym. I want to get an elliptical or a treadmill for home on days I can't make it to the gym and the weather screws me up as well. I am not really a video person either I need to be at a gym. Either way I am still doing okay and I lost 1.4 lbs this week bringing the total to 12.6 lbs lost, I really can't wait to lost 10 lbs so I will be out of the 300's. The 300's are a very scarey place to me.
