Day 65: Weigh In

My body is sore today. I have been over doing it at the gym. Summer ofcourse is here and I almost feel rushed to hurry and lose. I know its not doable and its not going to happen overnight but sometimes I lose sight of this and want to rush.

I have to remind myself that though I'm not going to be the 190 lbs that I wish I was this summer....I have to feel the now and what I'm achieving thus far....

• I FEEL good! Not just outside but inside, where it really matters!
• I am eating good, way better than before and setting an example on my children.
• I am not as reserved as I once was when wearing something cute. 

I am down another 1 lb and 4 oz.

Day 56: Weigh in

My weekend started out okay until my van gave me some issues. Seems the power steering pump gave out while I was driving miles away from home! It caused a huge headache and $$$, both of which I wasn't expecting to deal with this weekend. I still made it to the gym, tho!

Besides the mess that occurred this weekend, I've been feeling really good. I've been getting compliments on how I'm starting to look like I'm losing weight from friends and family members. This morning I decided to take are really good look in the mirror. I could see my waist is shrinking, my thighs are gaining muscle, my upper arms are starting to look more defined and I could see it in my face that I'm losing weight. Feels so good and it's very motivating. Makes me try harder the next time around at the gym.

I did weigh in this morning and lost 1.4 lbs. I'm now down to 263.6. A few more and I'll be in the 250s which would really be a milestone for me because I wasn't that weight since 2001! That would really be the pusher for me to keep going. Can't wait!!

Day 51

With the holiday weekend I was so busy with spending time with my family and just letting loose! I have been working out on the days I had to and even worked out on the weekend and Memorial Day. I especially worked out harder being with the holiday and all, I went to a few picnics over the weekend and watched what I ate. I am now picnicked out! I don't want to see another hot dog, cheeseburger, bbq chicken or potato salad in a very long time!

Weigh in was yesterday but didn't have the time to weigh myself. So this morning I weighed in and I weigh 265 lbs. I am down 8 oz. I also, measured myself today and have lost 3.25 inches making the a total of 17.75 inches lost since I started my challenge!! I can already feel the difference in my clothing. My pants around the waist and thighs fit bigger and my shirt sleeves are a tad bigger and not as snug as they used to be. Little by little....

At the gym, I notice myself using the different machines to challenge myself a little more. I love the arc trainer! I can easily burn a lot of calories on this bad boy! I find my workout more intense using this machine. I have used the arc trainer 5 times now and I already see results on my calves, thighs and butt.

I'm stepping forward little by little.....
