Wednesday Weigh-In July 27, 2011

Well folks, another but slow but progressing week. I went down another .5 of a pound. But you know what? I don't really mind the slowness of my progression, because I am really not dieting, I feel great about the food I'm eating, and I've been working on being more active. I can genuinely say I am not dieting. And not in the way people on restrictive diets make the same claim, been there, done that. Here are some things I've been enjoying this week:

• I am not the least bit restricted. I am paying attention to my body's signals and what it needs, and not following what someone else decided it needs.
• I eat very high quality (not necessarily expensive, though) food which is DELICIOUS, I take my time eating it, and can spend as much (or little) time thinking about what I will eat as I want, but with no negative feelings of "Oh, that's to many points" or "I can't afford to fit that in." Instead, I'm excited about what I will eat, and think "I can't wait to eat that."
• I also went biking this week for the 1st time this year, and probably the 5th time since I was a kid. I got a new gel seat, and it makes all the difference. I really enjoyed myself, and hope to get better at it. It's such a worthwhile activity, as the University of Leicester semi-jokes about:





So here are the stats:

Original Start Weight: 173
07/13/2011 Start Weight: 155 lbs
Present weight: 154 lbs
Goal Weight: 130-135 ish lbs


Have a great day!

Wednesday Weigh-In July 20th 2011

So... not the best way to start off my latest blog, but my first week wasn't my best. I feel like I made some minor changes, but could have done sooo much more. I did lift weights twice, as mentioned, but I didn't get nearly enough cardio. I know that in this case, slow and steady wins the race is may be my cliche to live by, but I need to really kick it up this week.

Original Start Weight: 173
07/13/2011 Start Weight: 155 lbs
Present weight: 154.5 lbs
Goal Weight: 130-135 ish lbs

None Scale Goals:

• To keep doing at least 2-3 days a week of weight training
• To try and fit in a minimum of 20 minutes of cardio 5 days per week.
• Practice eating slowly. SLOWER!

Wish me luck!

Wednesday Weigh-In July 13th 2011

So here is my first ever posting for this new blog. I've decided that every Wednesday, good or bad, I'll be posting my progress (or lack there of), along with some non-weight-related goals that I need to work on. Here I go!

Start Weight 2010: 173 lbs
Present Weight: 155 lbs
Goal Weight: 130-135ish lbs

This week's goals:

• At least 2 hours total of cardio this week
• Strength training at least 2 times
• To stop eating so many darned freezies! So not part of what I should be doing... but so chilling in my un-airconditioned condo!!! Especially blue and white freezies...
