Can you tell that I am really excited about FINALLY hitting the 15 pound mark? I did it! I lost 1 pound this week which takes me to the 15 pound mark. So, I hopped on the phone first thing this morning to make a hair appointment. The soonest was Tuesday of next week. What?!? Ugh, I leave for vacation on Friday and have a jam packed week and the soonest she was able to get me in for a cut is Tuesday (since I work full time 30 miles away from the salon). Well, I guess that’s disappointing but I’ve lost 15 pounds!! I forgot to check my inches this morning. I’m really anxious to know how many inches I have lost since I started taking my measurements. I know some of my pants are really starting to get loose.
I will say that I hate shopping for clothes still! I had to go out this past weekend and purchase a swimsuit and a few summer outfits for vacation. Buying a swimsuit was a nightmare!! What happened to one piece swimsuits?!?! They are hard to find (in fashionable styles for younger adult). I found some that my mother would wear. I had to settle for a tankini…I’m not happy about it. If nothing else, it should look good with my tan. This will be a BIG motivator to stay focused on my diet while vacationing.
My workouts this week were lame! I only worked out three days and it wasn’t much on any of them. On the other days, I wasn’t just sitting around the house or lying on the couch. I was cleaning the house, gutters, flower beds, patio, pool, and even mowing the grass. I was definitely active. Here’s the breakdown of my workouts this week:
3 miles/435 calories walking on my treadmill
1.385 miles/208 calories walking/jogging (Couch to 5K)
150 crunches
4.16 miles/600 calories on elliptical
strength machines - legs
Now what’s my plan?!? My plan is to stay focused, eat better, and workout more (than last week anyways). I would like to lose another 2 pounds before heading out to Myrtle Beach. I plan to continue with my Couch to 5K program. I started week 2 last night and it wasn’t as bad as what I had thought it would be. As far as fitness classes, I don’t see being able to fit any of them into my schedule. It’s definitely something I will look into when I return from vacation. I would like to have my weight off by the end of the year and I think adding the fitness classes will help in that area.
That’s all for me. I hope everyone else has been having a good week with their weight loss too! If not, keep you head up and DON’T give up!

YAY!!!!! I'm so glad that you hit your first goal of 15lbs! That's AWESOME! I'm glad you are getting to go get your haircut before vacation. I don't know about you, but I LOVE getting my hair cut. Mix that with your weight loss and you'll be high on life! I agree with you though. . . what's up with all the two piece swimsuits!?!? I had to get a tankini too, sigh!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm super excited! It won't be a major haircut but it will get this mop into a style!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not liking the two piece swimsuits. Even when I weighed 125 pounds I never wore a 2 piece!
Great job!! That was the goal I loved to hit too! I am now looking at 20 and I can't wait to get there! This Summer is going to continue to change me.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!! What a great way to celebrate too on your vacation - by looking and feeling better!!! I'm really happy for ya...and you'll have a nice cut to match!
