Hello, my name is Valerie and we have similar themes in our threads; trying not to Yo-Yo with our weight. Looks like you're doing extremely well, nice! Lots of cardio. Have a great Monday!
 
Hi Valerie, thanks for stopping by. I'm definitely back on track but yes as our themes suggest, I'm a terrible yo-yo'er. I'm really trying to break that habit. That has always been my biggest challenge, maintenance. Right now I'm working on getting back to my goal weight. Then I just have to stay focused and not lose all control.

Hi Angel, you're right, things are going really well. All of a sudden I'm finally seeing a big difference in my appearance which is great. And more and more of my "smaller" clothes are fitting again.

I really enjoy the challenges which are a great way to keep focused too. This current one has been fun. The bonus challenges have been pretty much what I normally do every day so they haven't been giving me any problems with getting all the bonus points. Hopefully my weight loss in the next few weeks will be enough to keep me in it until the end.

Nice job! I am so so impressed with how much you work out. I barely find the time to squeeze in an hour a day. I know I know......if it's important enough I should make time :). But I think it's great how much you're exercising....you'll be at your goal weight in no time :). I still haven't been able to find those WW bagels anywhere! Oh well, guess I'll keep my eyes out for them and hopefully find em somewhere :). Off to the gym!!!!!!!!!
 
Hi Brandy,
Yeah, once I get in that "zone" the weight comes off pretty easily for me. Losing it isn't the problem. It's the keeping it off that's my biggest challenge.

Hi Keepitoff,
Once you get into a routine of exercising it gets easier. It's just becomes part of my daily routine on the days that I work out. Just try and get into a steady routine. Regular exercise definitely helps the weight loss journey.

Too bad you can't find those bagels. They're pretty good.

I accomplished one of my goals yesterday. I worked my way back to running on the treadmill for my entire workout (minus warm-up and cool down) in a 10 minute mile or less, 6.0 mph. Feels great to be running at that speed again.

Been getting plenty of water in thanks to the bonus challenge. Far exceeding the 74oz. needed. I normally drink a lot of water but for the challenge I'm trying to up my intake.

Was low on my points again yesterday. I'm still full when my next meal rolls around so I haven't been eating as much. Plus, being so busy on the weekends the timing of my meals is thrown.

Here's how yesterday looked:

Monday, January 28th

Breakfast:
Low sugar oatmeal - 2 points

Lunch:
salad - 4 points
procuitto - 1 point

Dinner:
1 cup Tortilla soup - 1 point
