Stickin' to it

Weight Update Wednesday Feb 27, 2008: 159.8

Looks like I'm still in the 150s but I haven't made it to my goal. I have a few days yet to hit 158 by March 1st so I'll need to work extra hard I guess to make it.

Couch to 5K Week 1 Day 2 is here and I'll probably do some running this afternoon after lunch once I *hopefully* have the majority of my school work done. Psssst. I gotta learn to stay off here a little in order to make that happen though. Shhhh. don't tell anyone.

I'll go back and fill in the rest of my meals after lunch yesterday and I'll be ready to get to work. :nopity:
 
Yaaaah! Day 2. I'm heading out today too.

Congrats on the 150's. They are mighty delicious. Here's to both of us not heading hack to the 160's!
 
Wednesday Food update:

Breakfast:
Low Fat Granola Crunch
skim milk

Lunch:
2 slices whole wheat bread
2 slices organic natural chunky peanut butter
2 tbsp low sugar jelly

Dinner:
Mini Pizza's.
9 turkey pepperonis
1.5 whole wheat English muffins
Organic pizza sauce

Day 2 of Couch to 5K was a little tougher than day 1. I pushed myself harder and for the running segments ran at 7.0mph and did the brisk walk at 4.0mph. I made it all the way, but barely...by the last 2 sections of running, I struggled and had to keep motivating in my head "it's just 60 seconds" heheh.

Hmmm.. but I need a snack now before dinner. YIKES!
 
You seem to be on top of things. Can you help find a reliable way to calculate my nutrion goals. I want to loose fat and gain muscle. i'm 25yo male, 6'0 197lbs. i'm pretty muscular, but want to start the p90x. i want to get ripped but gain muscle. Help me please!!
 
Hey everyone!

Thursday Weight Update: 160.2. DIdn't quite hold onto the 150's today, but I'm not missing it by much. I'm still hoping to see 158 by Saturday morning.

Hubby and I are heading out of town today and I have packed all our favorite and delish foods to feed us for the next 3-4 days. I'm hoping I hit my goal of 158 by Saturday because well, I've given us one night to eat out while out of town and I's thinking that would be the night.

I'll be taking my couch to 5k on the road with me, and I'll also be carting along my scale to make sure I keep up with everything. -- scary I know.

Well, I'm out for now. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and good luck to you luscious for Day 3 for Couch to 5K
 
Ay YAI YAI

Ok, so update from Friday Weight: Acutal number unknown. hehe. I brought my scale with me out of town and left it in the car overnight (it was cold here too). So I brought it in Friday morning and weighed myself.. it said 5lbs heavier than the day before. I had my usual breakfast and waited a few hours and weighed again.. It then said 5 lbs heavier than the first weight that morning HAHAH.. My worst nightmare. 10 lbs overnight. LOL-- that's like going from being not pregnant to 4 months overnight right? haha.

So I waited a few more hours after lunch and finally saw a regular # 160.0 after lots of water, breakfast and lunch, so that made me much happier.

Friday's Food:
Kashi Go lean Crunch
Skim Milk
1/2 banana

Lunch:
2 slices whole wheat bread
2 tbsp peanut butter organic natural chunky
2 tbsp low sugar jelly

snack:
1 welch's fruit snack

MARCH 1 GOAL: 158
Saturday Weight Update: 158.8

Ok, so I didn't meat the goal of 158.0 but I am in the 158's so I think that's pretty damn good. That puts me at 5.6 lbs weight loss during the month of February even with the 10 day vacation. YAY
 
Sunday Morning Weight 159.4. I figure I'll bounce around a little betwen 159 and 158 for a day or so before it goes down more..

Week 1 Couch to 5K complete. Total miles as of today 14.4 I think.

Starting Week #2 on Tuesday since I just finished week 1 today. I'm really enjoying it thus far and hope Week 2 is just as awesome!

I'm still out of town, but will try to get around to everyone's diaries later tonight or after I get back into town tomorrow! =)

Took the plunge

Well, today, I took the plunge. I signed up for a gym membership for hubby and I. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a great thing.
 
It's so awesome you and the hubs can work out together! I only with I could get mine motivated. When we join the gym together, he always loses his motivation. Good luck - you'll do great together!!

Thank you so much! I hope we will be able to hit the gym on a very regular basis. It definitely won't be as convenient now as he works from home, and me, well I'm in college and don't work that much. But, I will do my best to go even if he doesn't want too.

Monday Exercise update:
Week 2 Day 1 of C25K 2.47 miles, 30 minutes and then an additional 35 minutes and 2.73 miles for a total of 5.2 miles on the treadmill. 640 calories and 65 minutes.
 
Tuesday 3-4-08 Weight Update: 160.0

I'm hoping the numbers start creeping back down again soon!

I don't have a whole lot to say this AM, so this one is going to be short and sweet. Ok, short. :willy_nilly: Hope you all are having a fabulous day.

Thank you so much! I just hope hubby and I take a proactive role in going to get rid of the other rolls we don't want. hehe.


Ok, speaking of gym -.. I thought I'd type up some things I noticed when lifting weights on the cruise and at the resort back in February.

We have the Bowflex Ultimate I think. We discovered after attempting to lift the same weight at the gyms on vacation that we were unable to do so. The Bowflex weight system starts off as a light weight and gets heavier through the movement so there is not a consistent weight all the way through, whereas the machines weight that were available to us on the ship/resort were constant through the movement.

With this said, I'm sure I'll have to decrease the amount I'm lifting on the new machines until my body learns the new type of weight and continuing with the same weight that I've been doing with my dumbbells.

Hopefully we'll get to the gym today and have our first workout and tour of the place. :) YAY! I'm so excited.
 
Congrats on the gym membership. It's a great thing to have. Over the past year I have learned that the gym can be a great thing, if you use it. I have no doubt in my mind that you will take full advantage of your new membership and get great results.

Have a great 1st workout at the gym tonite.
