20 in 20: Week 17

00trayn

We're in the home stretch of the challenge! Only 4 more weeks to go, just in time for looking our best for Halloween. I'm attempting to coordinate with some friends to go out in DC all dressed up, I adore Halloween. If all else fails, there's a singles mixer I can go to... hahaha. I'm hoping my friends are up for going out tho.

I FINALLY hit my mini goal of 160.0 lbs on Friday. I'm happy I managed to stay within 0.1 lbs of that after this weekend, with my sister visiting and eating out a few times. With 3 more weigh ins after this one to go, I've got 3 more pounds to hit 20 lbs lost total. I think it's doable. I wanted to be 155 for my birthday on Oct. 22nd, but if I can lose a pound a week between now and then I'll be happy. I have a cushion built into my mini goals after my birthday, 150 by Christmas. I think that's definitely one that I can hit.

Been hovering between 175 and 177 for the last 2 weeks. Had a couple of days out and a few days with higher sodium, so I think that has had an effect. Going to aim to keep on target for sodium this week, try to avoid eating out as much as I can and make sure to get my 3 good exercise sessions in a week at the minimum! Going to get harder to do as the fall continues and winter approaches, as most of my work exercise is walking outside. Hard to do when it is -30, or in a snowstorm! Guess I will just have to make due with my Wii and some exercise videos when I am not home.

Good for you 00trayn on your mini goal. I have been hovering 1 pound away from my last goal, which I had hoped to meet before my birthday on September 28th. Didn't quite make it, but it is so close! I am aiming for 164 by Christmas, so I had better figure my body out soon! LOL

Took on a little much with attempting 3 challenges at once. Going to leave the squat and sit up challenge for now and focus on the push up challenge. I was too tired to attempt all 3 in the same day, but if you miss a day, you are off track again. If I only do one at a time, it is easier to fit in, and I will get better form. I was getting the push done, but I don't think I was going as low as I should have been, so I am going to start over and make sure I am doing them right. And hey, they will also help strengthen my abs and back, so the sit up challenge should be even easier when I start it again. Made it up to 75 squats before I said enough, and my walking will keep that tone, so should be close to the same level when I pick them up again too.

No change in weight:ohwell: , I have been slacking on my water so I think im hanging on to some extra water... going to drink as much water as I can this week and see if that helps. My goal is to be 175 by my birthday- Oct. 23rd

00trayn- good job hitting your mini goal, that's great!!

I've stepped up the water and green tea too. Dropped 0.9 pounds since yesterday, so think that is most of the water weight gone again from my high sodium meals last week.
