Progress?
My goal of getting back to work and losing the rest of my weight is proceeding in fits and starts, more fits than starts! But I just entered a "Biggest Loser" contest at my husband’s work and I think that will help motivate me. The progress is listed as percentage of weight loss with a username. I intentionally gave myself a user name that people at his work will recognize. That way I’ll really feel pressured to perform!
I finally got the courage to post my weight. I have gained almost 10 pounds since my last posting. Oh dear!!! But I just think how nice that chart will look when it goes down again. I look at myself right now and I’m not real happy with what I see, but I weighed lots more than that in the beginning of 2007. I don’t want to go back there again! Gaining this weight has really shocked me into action.
I’m going later this morning to my trainer to get help with designing a program that I can do with the equipment that we have. We have a lot of the basic stuff, so I think we can work out a solid program.
I’m enjoying doing my cardio outside. We lengthened our walk to include a long, steep hill. Now it takes about 70 minutes to complete. There are several places that are hard enough to make it very difficult to talk because I’m breathing so hard. I enjoy the time with my husband and sometimes my son, so I’m more likely to stick with it. Now just to get consistent with weights, but more importantly I need to fix my diet - back to journaling everything I eat.
I hope everyone has a great week!
