Week 12

Well I'm proud to report that I have been exercising 3 times a week for the last two weeks! Almost didn't make it last week but I quickly adjusted my can't do it to I can find a way to get 3 days in this week.

The results: I lost 3.2 this week and my total loss is now 39.6. So, so, so very close to my 40 pound goal which was were I had hoped to be at the end of 16 weeks! So I will have to set a new goal! However I feel as though I am just gonna keep on doing what I have been and see where my body wants to stop. It's hard to know what weight I want to get to. I will just have to see where it decides to stop.

Looking forward to some shopping! Nothing fits anymore! I know it's a good thing but kind of depressing when I put on clothes and they look so frumpy. It's hard to know how much to buy while losing still! Don't wanna buy too much! Maybe I will start with a new Easter outfit, something that I can still where to work.

Week 11

I haven't posted for two weeks and so I am super excited to let you know that I am getting so close to my 40 pound goal. I have lost 36.4 pounds in 11 weeks! Last week I had only lost 1.4 pounds but this weeks loss was 3.6. The only change I have made has been that I have been trying to exercise three days a week! It is very hard for me to be consistent in this but I am trying! My favorite form of exercise is biking around town. It's cheap, doesn't take alot of time(no driving back and forth to the gym), and you can change the scenery and your effort level (adding hills, adding an extra block or two to your adventure),and kid friendly if needed (although they wear out in half the time that I do.)
Going to the gym can have it's benefits too! Lot's of equipment to choose from and things to do. Although I do not like it when the gym is super busy! I don't want to have to fight for a machine or feel like a klutz trying to figure a machine out! But again all those choices have to be working muscles that aren't normally worked.
And yet another option that I have found is the in home walking DVD's. I've had one by Leslie Sansone and she does a great job of challenging you but not making it so hard that you feel like it is too hard. My friend Alicia and I walked 3 miles in 45minutes. We sure did feel it the next day but it was a good feeling to have accomplished 3 miles in just the beginning of our new exercising plan. Hopefully tonight we'll go back for more!
I am trying to commit to working out on Mon.'s, Wed.'s, and Fri.'s or Sat.'s. Mondays and Fridays seem to go better for me than finding time to work it in on a Friday or Saturday.

31.4

So much going on and haven't had time to blog : (

Well I finally went over the 30 pound loss : ) My total loss has been 31.4. I am enjoying this warmer weather! Went for a bike ride on Saturday. I am hoping to start working at the gym 3 days a week and this is a good week to start since I am on Spring Break from school.

In other news we are getting our new carpeting installed today (as I am writing.) Can't wait to go home on my lunch break to see it! Can't believe I'm not there to watch it in progress : ( New furniture gets delivered on Thursday!

Alot of "newness" going around! What will I do when my life gets back to normal : )
