Here is my latest Pic

weighing in at 175 pounds

and feeling good.
If I'd know how good I'd feel I would have never gained the weight, actually if I'd know how bad I would feel with the weight I wouldn't have gained it!

What I weigh.......sigh

I sorry to admit to myself that I now

weigh 180.5 pounds!

That's up 7 pounds from my lowest

Where are those darn frowny face icons?

Back at it!

I want to walk a half marathon in the spring,
so I've found a plan to get me there.
It's a 14 week plan all set up!

Today I didn't think I was ready to start quite
where the plan starts (4miles)
so I'm working on pre plan.

Today I walked 3 miles in about 45+ minutes
(I had to go to the bathroom in the middle so
the time got off, but I watched the miles)

I weight this morning at the gym and I was 181!
That's just too much, gained!

I'm back.....

This morning I decided it was time to give working out a priority again. Well, actually there is this mind game that I play ...... my scales have broken at home, I've been eating whatever I wanted to (which is really different than what I would eat a year ago. Yes, there has been some learning going on), no excerise.... which leads me to look at myself and see FAT. I think I'm gaining weight. Which is good in some ways, I'm not a skinny person so I still need to see my FAT so I'll continue with my workout/health journey.

This morning when I worked out I still weighted the same 175 that I've weighted all summer! Plus 1

I worked out for an hour (walked for 20 minutes and ran on the elliptical for 40 minutes aka 5k)and it felt good! Plus 1

Personal Trainer #1

This morning I started my Personal Training sessions from my friend Michelle!
I started out (on my own) with 25 minutes on the elliptical (at level 10)

Then worked out with Michelle.
Today was not overly hard but not a piece of cake (so to speak) either!
*2 sets of 15 ....
squats with dumbbells
lunges on the slider matte
pull downs
bench presses (without weights)
step ups with weights
planks
and twisty things with weights
(don't cha love the names I've made for these things?!?!)

for the record ...

I weighed in at 172.75 pounds
Chest 37 inches
waist 33.25 inches
hip 40 inches
thigh 22.25 inches

Broke through

My weight plateau broke yesterday

the Tempter can stay

for now!

April 7 ~ results

The numbers don't really tell the whole story of this week.

Remember that this past weekend was a birthday weekend and Easter.

so given that ......

- 3/4 of a pound

- zero inches

I'm elated because on Monday morning it wasn't even close to these numbers!

Slim Down day #1 (02/01/10)

This morning marked our first weigh in and
workout with our "Biggest Loser" type program at the local Y.
I knew what I weighed so it wasn't a surprise.

I weigh 203 pounds

my measurements are

Chest 41"

Waist 40.25"

Hip 45"

Thigh 25.75"

to my knowledge this is the biggest I've ever been!

My friend Stephanie goes at 8 and does the water aerobics.
I meet her there for an hour of working out together.
Today we did the Elliptical machine.
then I went to a low impact aerobics class.
In the middle of the class I swore I was going to die.
So it must have been doing good, right?
I made it all the way through the class.

Then I came home and got out my Calorie King program.
I love this program it makes watching what I eat a breeze.
*I paid $50 for this program eons ago and they still allow me to download new foods, BUT there is a similar program that is free. I don't recall the name right now, but if you're interested just look around.
