Day 75 - BMI

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

Almost out of Obese. I'm at 30.40 which is crazy! Probably another week and I'll be in the overweight category. I don't really look into it too much since I find it inaccurate due to my height. I don't even look what they consider me to be obese.

I've been at this sort of plateau for a while but I'm not letting it bother me since I know I haven't been eating the greatest. I've reduced my calories again, getting upset that they keep changing the recommended amounts on me. Grr!

& on a good note.. Visiting my family and friends this Friday for the long weekend! Yippie and my 1st year anniversary with my SO is coming up on the 27 :) I love him so much.

Day 70 - Strength

Thursday, May 09, 2013

Had a lot of pain in my left upper thigh due to running and over doing myself in aerobics. Changed it up and did some strength exercises but realized I could only do 15 minutes before getting too tired.

Jackknives - 20 Reps (3 Minutes)
Planking - 30 seconds
Arm & Leg lifts - 20 Reps (3 Minutes)
Tricep Extensions - 20 Reps (2 Minutes)
Abdominal Hip Raises - 20 Reps (2 Minutes)
Abdominal V-ups - Legs Straight Or Bent 15 Reps (1 30 seconds Minute)
Abdominal V-ups - Legs Straight Or Bent - Opposite Side - 10 Reps (1 Minute)
Abdominal Front Hip Lift - 10 Reps (1 Minute)
Toe Touches - 10 Reps (1 Minute)

I think I just need to take a day off.. and just count this as an extremely light work out session day. Or perhaps a semi cheat day without cheating on the food part of things.

Now to relax and let this leg fix itself. Back at aerobics tomorrow!

    You know your body and its limitations, so if you need rest - take it. Better to take a day than to injure yourself real good and be forced to take a week! I was actually planning on doing more today, myself, but I'm beat. It was suppose to be a rest day for me but I really pushed myself. Now I think I'm paying for it... I think I'm going to hit the bed early tonight in hopes that I'll recoup by tomorrow...

Day 64 - 2 months in!

Friday, May 03, 2013

So it's officially 2 months into my weight loss journey and I've managed to lose 29 pounds and 5 inches off my hips! I feel great and know that the next 2 months I probably won't end up losing that much, but maybe aim for 20 or at least 200 pounds which is 18 pounds away.

I still don't really see much results, however, my SO says there is a big difference.. I guess it's the people around you that notice it more than yourself because I find I am still trying to process it, process that I can lose weight and perhaps maybe look good for the winter. I am 68 pounds from my end goal of 160.. but we'll see what I look like at 170 since that is still in the healthy range at my height.

Anyway time to enjoy my weekend! :D

    You may not be able to see the differences now, but I bet you would really tell the difference if you were suddenly where you started! Also something great to keep in mind, if your goal is an 82 pound loss, you are already over 1/3 of the way there, which is fantastic.

Go put on some of the pants you wore 29 pounds ago, and then I bet you'll feel the difference.

Way to go!

    It takes a long time for your head to catch up to your body with weight loss. I am 100 down overall and still have a hard time with my perception vs reality

    emoticon great job losing that much weight and inches. I'm hoping to reach my pre-pregnancy goal by the end of the month, only 10 more pounds. We've pretty much got the same ultimate goal (154 for me). I can never really tell if I'm losing much either so I take monthly pictures of my whole body; pretty much what pregnant women do but to see my stomach get smaller not bigger haha. Try not to look at how far you have to go but how far you've come. emoticon

    I understand. If I had started with my journey earlier I may have been able to hit up the beaches here in a two piece but I'm sure I won't be there yet. But, we can be happy in knowing that we are rocking the one pieces much better than we were before! :D

    Yep just sucks I can't look good for the summer! Haha, I'd love to wear a 2 piece but that'll have to wait until next summer I guess! boo! Not sure how long it will take to lose 60 pounds now.

You have dropped some serious weight! Great job!

My husband has the same issue with seeing the difference in himself. I told him, you see you every single day. Your mind starts to forget what you looked like the day before, much less in the past! I'm sure your SO can really tell the difference. I know I can, with my husband.

I'm preparing for a slowdown on weightloss too. I get so caught up when I kick back into high gear that it can be discouraging to slow down but weight loss is weight loss! Just keep on pushing :)

Day 54 - Woot.

Thursday, April 25, 2013

I feel pretty fantastic today, I woke up, not hesitant and just got my butt to work out! Actually got in 79 minutes today which is quite the accomplishment. After yesterday, with the scale going up by 1.5 pounds ... I figured I had to push myself more today... which is what I did! and I'm back down to 220 again.. so that's a relief.

Oh yeah, thought I would share what I woke up to this morning. Riley is so weird sometimes lol.



and now to eat a light late lunch and relax until my SO comes home emoticon

    Oh my gosh your dogs name is Riley? :D that's my son's name! hahaha

That is a serious workout right there! 79 minutes, whoa! Great job!

I know you said you gained some weight earlier but I tell you what, you're losing it so fast I don't think you have anything to worry about! :)

Day 53 - Won't let it discourage me

Wednesday, April 24, 2013

Did my usual hour+ work out. Scale went up by 1.5 pounds but I try not to let it discourage me since I know it fluctuates.
I have to keep on focusing on how much success I've been having, more than 25 pounds gone and almost 1/3 of a way there.

It almost makes me wonder how much I will lose by the end of May when I go visit my parents. I'm hoping for at least 40 pounds down. My SO says that he notices a difference but I don't really see anything except for the fact I can fit in my size 11s.

Todays work out:

32 minutes of hula hoop
5 minutes of free running
10 minutes of free step
26 minutes of boxing

Calories burnt: 468

Tomorrow is another day and hopefully the scale shows some more progress. :)
