Weigh in Wednesday

So today is weigh day.  Drum roll please….I lost 1.8 pounds!

Starting weight: 242.8

Last weight: 237.8

Today’s weight: 236

It’s been two weeks since I had a weigh in and I know my weight has been fluctuating during that time.  I really like to look at the scale after I have been out on my run/walks and sweated out some water weight.  Those numbers are lower. Hehe  But this was from this morning and there was no exercise done before it.  I’m a little afraid it will be higher in the next couple of days due to Holiday eating on Monday, but it’s okay. I’m jumping back on the wagon now and hopefully the wagon will be going downhill.  :-)

It’s weigh day.  I think I need a new scale.  The one we have is a pretty cheap one and I can step on and off the scale several times and the numbers be different. What’s up with that? 

Drumroll please……I lost 1.2 pounds this week.  The number was actually lower the other day, but I had just completed one of my run/walk workouts so I can’t really count that.  So for those of you that are number inclined:

Starting Weight: 242.8

Current Weight: 237.8

That’s 5 pounds.  That’s a pretty small number when you consider my starting weight was on July 1, but hey at least I’m losing.  I need to kick it up some though if I have any chance of being in onederland when we go to Thailand early next year.

Just a quick post today.  I weighed in at 239 this morning.  I believe that means I am down .8 pounds from the last weigh in.  Not much, but it's something.  I did get in one mile of the Leslie Sansone video this morning.  It was my first time doing the video and I was a little scared to do more in fear of my 3 minute runs tomorrow.  Tomorrow I do 5k in 100 days workout 6.2 which will have me running for 3 minutes during my intervals.  I'm excited, but scared at the same time.  I have to fast walk for 35 minutes before my intervals and my legs have been tired the last few workouts.  Wish me luck.

Nothing spectacular to report today. I am only down .2 pounds.  I know it’s because I haven’t done the best I could do.  I still haven’t added in extra workouts between run days.  I have a Leslie Sansone video coming through Netflix.  I’ll add that into the mix when I get it.  It should come in a day or two. I had planned to go home yesterday and do some sort of exercise, but then dinner was ready and my husband suggested going in the pool.  I opted for the pool rather than workout.  I did try to use the water resistance to exercise my arms a bit. Haha

I did rock workout 4.2 today for 5k in 100 days.  I’m doing pretty well with it.  I’m sure our run lengths will be going up faster than in the beginning.  We will be running for two minutes in workout 4.3.  I haven’t seen next weeks schedule, but it’s my bet that we are going to jump up 30 seconds.  Guess I’ll have to wait and see.  I’ll leave you with this picture of me after my run/walk this morning.

I didn’t weigh in last week, well I did weigh, but I didn’t post it.  I didn’t like what the evil scale said.  However, I am down 1 pound from two weeks ago.  It’s not much, but it’s something.  I need to get my butt in gear and exercise more.  My three days a week for 5k in 100 just isn’t cutting it.  I need to fit some more exercise in on the other days.  Maybe tonight I’ll try to get in some Zumba or Wii.

I did W3.1 for 5k in 100 yesterday.  It was 20 minute fast walk and then we moved from 1:15 run to 1:30 run.  I know that 15 seconds isn’t much more time, but it was hard.  It was all I could do to pick my legs up and finish my intervals.  I’m sure the intervals will get easier the more times I do it, but as of right now….I don’t see myself wanting to run for long periods of time.  I think this has a lot to do with the fact that I’m carrying around 100 extra pounds on my body.  The lighter I get the easier it will become.  I WILL NOT GIVE UP!  I am determined to continue on the 5k in 100 days program.  I won’t know if I truly like running unless I give it a fair shot.  It’s also great exercise and getting me up and moving which I haven’t had much success doing in the past.  Here’s to not giving up this time!

I weighed in this morning and I am down 1.8 pounds! I am super excited about that since I haven't been strict with food and exercise. Seeing a loss on the scale is a huge motivation to keep at it.

How do you stay motivated?
