    Starting Weight - 193.4 (3/29)
    Week 1 - goal 2 lbs, weight 190.8 - 2.6 lbs (4/5)
    Week 2 - goal: 1.8 lbs, weight 190.2 - 0.6 lbs (4/12)
    # lbs LOST: 3.2 lbs
    # lbs TO GO: 50.2 lbs
    Week 3 - goal: 1.6 lbs

    30 minutes on eliptical yesterday. Wish I had more time for cardio. By the time I get off work and get to the gym it's right at 6. I do about 30 minutes of cardio and an hour or so strength training and abs. When I get home it's close to or right at 8 and though I know you really should eat late, I really don't have any other option and try not to eat too heavy, this resulted in less than 600 calories yesterday. I know I should have ate more during the day, but I wasn't really hungry and was kinda busy.

    I suppose I could go for a walk on my lunch hour, but I am just not a fan of getting all sweaty (and I will cause sometimes it's hot as hades and I don't really feel like I'm doing enough unless I sweat) when I know I have to go back and put on my nice work clothes afterwards. And I suppose I could get up earlier and at least use the eliptcal that is right in my room, that I never use (who's bright idea to put the eliptical next to the bed?) but, well, mornings and I aren't exactly bffs and I always set my alarm way earlier thinking that maybe one day I will actually do this and then I hit snooze like 8 times. :grumble:


    I am not a morning person either, but for the past 3 weeks I have been getting up everyday (Monday - Friday) at 5:00 and go to the gym. It is great, I get my work out done and don't have to worry about getting there after work. The first couple of days were hard, and Mondays :grumble: . But once you are up your up and it will become easier. :happy: I love it, I wish I would have done it earlier, then I maybe wouldn't be over weight.

    Monday- 30 minutes of walking, 30 minutes at Curves
    Tuesday- 40 minutes of walking, 30 minutes at Curves, 40 evil abdominal exercises

    My core needs work!!! Worked out with the same Curves trainer today. After my work out she then asks if I want to do some ab work with her. I'm willing to try and she asks how many reps for each of the 11 exercises. We decide to do 5 reps. Two of these exercises were so hard I physically could not do them. The other nine hurt like hell, LOL.

    Monday-30mins
    Tuesday-10mins:grumble:

    So I've met my goal already for this week :drinker: So I'm making a new one to be 208 by this weeks weigh in...If I don't make it oh well :laugh:

    My friend is absolutely amazing! She knew that I was stranded in the house with my two kids [Kylie is almost 3 and Brookelyn will be 2months this saturday] Because when we go out, Kylie will only walk so far and then she gets tired and gives up...This is usually the length of 3 houses...There's a lot of work getting all three of us ready for such a short trip. Most of my walking is done when my fiance is home from work, but he works 9.5hr days & only gets 1 day off every 4 days, so we've been confined to our home. She knew I was desperate for a double stroller and found one this weekend at an estate sale, she and her husband surprised us with it tonight. I was almost moved to tears. I've been fairly depressed being so isolated...I'm an outgoing, social person. The most social activity I've gotten is with Kylie...While they are interesting conversations, I crave something more adult:laugh: I'll be taking FULL advantage of this stroller...No more not reaching this weeks challenge!!

    That is so awesome! Yes, I would have cried too! How thoughtful are they? :bigsmile: I have a 3 year old also, who WANTS to talk but she makes it a half block and cries. lol I bought a really nice jogger stroller at a yard sale last year, much easier with that stroller than a big old giant stroller. Now I am on the hunt for a trailer to put her in when we bike ride~ I am also a stay at home mom, so I look on craigslist for alot of things! :smile:

    Oh thanks....3 different walking trips throughout the day is how I did that. I did 50 minutes after lunch, 20 minutes waiting on the bus to drop off the kids, and then 35 minutes after dinner walking 1 mile with my daughters.

    Monday - 45 min of walking
    Tuesday - 45 min of exercise

    My goal is more to just exercise at least 30+ minutes a day because I'm still not in the habit of that. I'm pretty satisfied if it's anything even if not necessarily walking :D Looks like everyone's doing great this week.

    Challenge: walk 30 mins a day

    Monday: 30 min 1 mile walk
    Tuesday: 30 min 1 mile walk
    Wednesday: 30 min 1 mile walk

    This week aint going good at all. Saturday morning weigh in will probably bring a 203 weigh in at the least! But I atleast I'm still getting my 30 min walk in. I'm thinking about add Biggest Loser cardio max to my 1 mile 2x a day workout. What do yall think???

    :laugh: They're great at this age eh. And very thoughtful. The first real friends I've had in my adult life, they are always doing extremely thoughtful thing :D

    Monday-30mins
    Tuesday-10mins:grumble:
    Wednesday-NOTHING!!

    WTH! I blame it on this being a pretty crappy week...and that I'm just lazy. Any other week and my day's wouldn't be under 45-60mins of walking, but not this week:laugh: Oh well, tomorrow I have a good hour or so walk ahead of me so that should make up for something :D

    Tina try getting an ankle brace for your ankles. I have a weak ankle too (my dr almost dislocated it doing a stress test) from spraining it at least once a year from the time I was 9 to 19 from playing softball or just being a klutz. Any time it flares up and hurts my dr told me to use a lace up brace for extra support. It helps alot.
