Team Skinny....July 2012 Burning up the Fat in the Heat of the Summer (Page 3)

You have a big lead on me again, the race to 200 is still on! (eventually one of us has to win right?)

Eventually. LOL

Problem is, I am the one going on vacation next Friday for two weeks to Hawaii......  I have a few rides, runs and swims planned though so it won't all be debauchery...

3/1 - 230

6/20 - 205.0

7/5   - 208.0

7/11 - 204.4

7/18 - 203.0

7/25 - 202.4

I'm starting to get a little frustrated here, the weight is just not coming off like it was before.  I know that weight loss slows down, and I've lost a  significant amount, but still.  I still have 20 or so lbs that I think I could loose.

On the other hand, I can tell that this is a much healthier 200 then I was the previous time I was 200.  Clothes fit better, and I have much more muscle tone.  

Congratulations!

July 1    220   up a few pounds after a 2 week vacation.

July 11   218  Not exactly the start I wanted, I was hoping to get rid of the vaca pounds quicker!

July 18   217  I really need to stop working, long hours equals poor diet, no exercise and no sleep!

 July 25  217.5  Not making much progress.

Great job to those of you that are on track! Keep it up, or down since that is the goal.

Overcame a hurdle - last night was supposed to be strength training and spin class.  Last minute hubby reminded me we had a car club meeting (at a buffet no less!!) but I like going and tried to figure out a way to still get a workout in.  There was barely time to pick up baby, head to gym, do strength and then meet hubby for carpooling to the meeting.  Historically, I would have called it a rest day and not even tried. 

Instead I got home, grabbed the empty BOB stroller and set off for daycare.  3.15 miles there - mostly uphill (250ft gain!), picked up son, loaded him in stroller and then 3.15 miles home!  1:26:30 - not great but better than a rest day. 

During one of the nighttime feedings I had to take a couple ibuprofins - My legs were seriously hurting, I haven't done an outside run in awhile and I haven't done over 3.5 miles in over 2 years. 

But I did it - instead of resting I ran!!  This is huge in my book.  Mentally it's very easy to get me off track.  So to keep going is an accomplishment. 

Today will be a rest day - I've gone on a couple walks but I don't consider those training.  My son is in a baseball tournament but if his game gets done early enough, I can still get to swim team on time (provided my teen son will watch my infant son while I swim...not likely but still a possibility)

Last week 216.8

this week- 216.4

was on plan til some weekend parties that derailed the train. Gonna be a tough weekend as I am going to Detroit on Saturday for Jimmy Buffett and a day of tailgaiting. Hoping to get in a long run Sat. morning to offset the calorie fest that is sure to insue.

Great last week. I finished my 3 runs, Spin class 2x, weights 2X, Zumba class 2X, stayed on my nuturion plan) SW: 243 LW:236 CW: 233

Goals for this week: 1. Stay on nutrition plan. 2. Finish 3 runs of C to 10k  3. Take a spin class.

7/26 - 206.2

Mondays are good for me - fresh starts!  Last week was a bust in terms of training - baseball, birthday parties, and baby showers all took first priority.  I stayed on top of my healthy eating and managed to lose SIX pounds in a week!! 

Last night was swim team, weights, and a 2.6 mile treadmill run.  Tonight is a 6.25 mile outdoor run (to daycare and home again to pick up baby).

48 days ago: 214.5

Today: 196.5

Sorry to hear/read about your injury.  Ouch!  Good luck to you.
