Lose 5 Pounds A Month April 2011 Challenge

sliceofsarah

Start weight is 165.8. I would LOVE to see the 150s by the end of the month!

My game plan is to continue the 30 Day Shred (Day 14 today) and once that is finished, work on Ripped in 30. I also just started on C25K so that will be the other dimension of my exercise plan. And I will be trying my hardest to stay under my net of 1200 each day!

Since I plan to stick to a crazy diet and exercise schedule this month, I am going to try to post frequently about what I did. I know I can count on you guys to keep me on track. Thanks for that!

Today, life threw a wrench in my plans. I drove out to Sears to buy glasses before lunch (my first real pair!) and wasn't planning to be long. Well, I was there until 5PM because my car wouldn't start! Thankfully there was a Subway in the mall. That is NOT part of my diet but it was better than starving.

Because I didn't leave the mall until 5PM and had to tinker with my car for a bit after that, I wasn't able to make it to my school's gym (which closes at 8 on Friday nights.) I have a membership at a gym closer to my house that I went to instead. I got in my weight lifting workout but really wanted to play racquetball. :sad: Ah well, I will make up for it tomorrow.


Some good news---- I burned 240 calories in the weight lifting workout I did today as opposed to the 400+ I burned doing the exact same one last year. That doesn't sound like a good thing but it is. Some of you may remember that I had an issue with my HR being way too fast (which in turn made me burn calories like crazy.) Well, it seems that my heart has gotten much healthier since then! I am very happy about that.

Ok I wasn't going to join because although I was finally successful last month I have readjusted my calories to lose .5lbs a week. Since 5lbs isn't really my target I like this group and still want to join. I like the weekly weigh ins and people to share my journey with. PLUS I weighed in today and I am at the lowest I have been in 3 years! I am now at the same weight I was the first time I calorie counted and lost 30lbs before my second child. Being pregnant puts a lot of weight on me all over!

So here I am April 2nd @ 138lbs!
I hope to drop the last 8...well whenver..I am happy here now but would like to tone and get to 130lbs if I can.
My goal is just to log in weekly and continue on my healthy path to the new me :flowerforyou:

Good Morning to All!! :flowerforyou:

So we're officially into our April challenge; good luck to everyone!

My food challenge is to eat more veggies. Yesterday I ate 4 different veggies; this morning I had 3 in my breakfast. Off to a good start. I have a birthday party today and am nervous over what food they'll have. Hopefully a few healthy options!!

I'm in : ) I was really really wanting to add an aerobics class to my schedule at snow but I don't have enough money for a babysitter and hubby wont have time to watch them for extra hours since he is also going to school in the fall. so Im sad because that would have been a great motivator for me to be able to exercise but we will see what spring next january brings. untill then I only have 30 lbs left to lose! thats 6 months if I lose 5 pounds a month. I could be skinney by the END of the Summer hahaha oh well at least I am hoping to be skinney by the end of the year.

Here is to april and hopefuly hopefully! The end of the 150's for good!! : )

Had some stress last month and this month might prove to be worse but all of may I am free from going to school (I will have an online english class) so if this month is not so great I will for sure have next month to look forward to.

Good luck in April everyone
