Bye Bye!

Said goodbye to another 1 pound today. Apparently it didn't like it that I was exercising so much! So now I am at a total of 7.4 pounds down. Getting so close to 10 pounds (and under 170) that I can hardly stand it!

A Good Week

Well, down 0.8 this week. I'll take it! Or rather I will kiss it goodbye!

Yea!

Lost 2 pounds in New Orleans and if you find it, you can keep it! I don't want it back!

Out of Town

So I left out of town this past Wednesday for New Orleans. Sure am missing my kids, but I have been doing so well I just had to share!

1) got up early (5:00) to walk/run on Wednesday morning before I left

2) worked out at hotel with weights & treadmill on Thursday (1 hour 30 min!)

3) worked out at hotel twice at hotel on elliptical, bike & treadmill on Friday (2 hours and 45 minutes total!)

4) worked out at hotel with weights & treadmill on Saturday (1 hour 30 min!)

And as far as eating goes, I have been very conscientious. It is really hard to eat out all meals, though. I am getting into eating my activity points, but in all honesty I feel really good and given the circumstances am ok with doing this. Last night in NO tonight then it's home tomorrow. Planning to workout one more time tomorrow morning before we leave. It will be good to see my kids and hubby!

Goals

So I sat down to make a real goal of this thing and here it is...

Lose 45 pounds by May 23 (which is the day I leave as a sponsor for a mission trip to Ethiopia). This comes out to 2.14... let's just say 2.2 pounds per week. Ambitious... absolutely. So then the steps I will take to get there?

1. attend my WW meetings
2. track all food
3. weights 3 times a week
4. cardio at least 3 times a week
5. workout 5-7 days a week, 40-90 minutes
6. get at least 7 hours a sleep on most nights (ie: go to bed by 10:30ish)
7. reevaluate the 49 bonus point situation if weight loss is not as desired
