Two Weeks to Go!

Man, things are harder now than ever. I'm picking more than I have since we started. And the DUMB thing is is that I'm excited that I've lost quite a bit of weight. I'm 2 pounds from my 100 Day Challenge goal. I know I've missed the mark for achieving my personal goal and I'm handling that, but I just need to keep going. It's not about the goals now, it's about my life!

Over the Hump

Well, we are officially over the hump. My weight loss has slowed a little, but like Tunu, I'm hoping it's because of my weight training and those dang leg lifts that always make my stomach feel amazing :)

I'm happy I'm doing this. I continue to see myself shrinking, which is very OK with me. The other thing I like is that it's helping my self-esteem. I know I still have a long way to go to get to my "ideal" weight, but I feel so much better now.

Things I do now that either I've never done before or haven't done for a long time: exercise on a regular basis, push myself beyond what I think are my limits when it comes to exercising, looking forward to exercising, entertaining the idea of running in 5K races, turning down sweets (well, most of the time), saying things like "I'm full", saving food "for tomorrow", buying kid's meals and small shakes (falls under that "most of the time above"), wearing clothes I haven't worn in years, putting more holes in my belt, having my pants fall down without a belt (I feel your pain, Brian). And, I hope this list keeps growing.

I am so proud of everyone in this group. I don't believe there are any of us that haven't made some type of change that's gonna stick with us for a long time. I know I have. The weight is going. For some, slower than others. Some had to lose more, some had to change more. But for all of us, I say congratulations for what you have done.

Starting Up Again

I'm back up and connected again. And with good news. I am more than half-way to my personal weight goal. Now I jusr gotta keep progressing to my 5K goal. I was rocking on the elyptical but now I need to get used to running!

I'm Back!

I got lost this week; MIA as I put it on Twitter. I had been doing so well then lost it at the end of the week. I have no intention of not making my goal. It's time to stop coastomg and start pushing myself to do more to improve. No more waiting for a convenient time to workout. No time like the present. And, I will stick to a better diet plan. I ate so much junk this weekend I ended up with my first migraine ever in my life. My body doesn't tolerate the garbage anymore so it's not goinf ti get it anymore. I am back, and I will improve.

I Rock!

I just weighed myself and I've lost 9 pounds so fat and suprisingly haven't been perfect on my diet. I'm excited because if I keep up with this pace I'll make it to my goal weight by the end of the challenge.

Great Workouts

Though still tortorous at times, I'm really starting to enjoy my workouts with Jenna. I feel like I'm conquering myself. During the first couple of sessions I got pushed by Jenna. Now I've already began to push myself. Yesterday doing arm curls I was supposed to do 2 sets of 15. By the time I got to my second set on my second circuit, Jenna could see I was struggling and said I could stop at 12. But I pushed through the 15 which gave me motivation to get through my third circuit. Now I just need to start feeling more positive about doing planks!

Getting There

Well just over a week in and I'm actually feeling amazing. I've lost 5 pounds amd don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. I eat til I'm full then call it quits. The weirdest feeling is that, by eatim. less but better, I am actually less hungry. It's great' I hpoe everyone else is having the same great ezperience.

Home Alone

I've been home alone for most of this week and have been working om my yard and shampooing carpets. I know we've only been doing this for a little over a week, but I don't geel as worn out doing it all like I have on the past. Can't wait til I'm in even better shape. My wife won't be able to stop me! Wait, is that a good thing?

100 Day Heart Challenge Challenge

On August 21st some of my family and I will be participating in the Wasatch Wellness Run to benefit Wasatch Mental Health. I think this would be a great time for us to show off our "new" stuff to ourselves and our loved ones. What do you say? Who's with me?

Grocery Shopping

Went grocery shopping tonight. I am such a snacker, and I was looking for treats for our trip we are taking tomorrow. Popcorn is my nemesis and the more butter the better. I was proud of myself because I didn't have the bag in my cart for a minute when I decided to put it back. Yah me! We'll see if I can keep it up!
