    September 6: GOAL-->140 lbs.


    Goal for this week (and for the next 59 days hehe): stay on track with the Insanity workout program. I don't follow the nutrition guide much since I eat a vegan diet, but I do basically eat 5 times a day and space my calories out with snacks and small meals.

    Aside from Insanity, my goal this week is to continue to work on my online cookbook...where I'm taking all my homemade recipes, bookmarked cookbook recipes, and online recipes that I love and am putting them into one online book that I can send to friends and use in the kitchen on my laptop.

    Monday Weigh-In: Joining an online support challenge is helping already! I was much more consistent about tracking food... which made me much better about getting exercise to counter the extra calories... which made me feel better all the way around to be getting more exercise. Thanks, all!
    Challenge for the week: Fit exercise in even on my long work days; do better at keeping calories within weight loss range.

    Starting Weight = 170
    Final Weight Goal = 145-148

    This weekend was super tough. I had a Retirement Party (dinner and drinks) on Friday night...A birthday party/cookout on Saturday and then Mother's Day Brunch and afternoon cookout on Sunday. No time for working out but I did OK on my weight. But I have a bad feeling that all that over indulgence will catch up with me later this week.

    Down 3 lb. this week. Yippee! I had a head cold this week but logged my food every day except Mother's Day.

    This week, I will continue with getting back to logging all my food - for all 7 days. Thanks for all the encouragement. You are all doing great!

    I'm getting back to wearing my Heart Rate Monitor during my cardio workouts. I have a basic Polar one that doesn't show calories burned. If anyone has a favorite/recommended site for converting heart rate to calories burned, I'd be interested. I've found a few and I take an average. THANKS!

    Okay, checking in...I stayed the same. :sad: But then again I am starting my period this week(retaining water?). But I did lose 0.5 inches in my hips and .5 inch in my waist. :bigsmile: So no worries! Looking forward to next week's check-in already.

    September 6: Goal- 160

    Still having a rough time with the exercise, but I did have a load of stress taken off with the completion of my concert. Unfortunately, today I got another load!:grumble: Don't they know it's the last week of school? You're not supposed to through three new performances at me with only 5 days left! Ugg.:ohwell: Rant over. I will be fine. I will do good this week. I'm getting a bit tired of always focusing on exercise, and then feeling bad when I don't manage to get more than my walk in. So I'm going to take my walk, and up the burn factor. I know I get it in nearly every day, so now I will add in carrying hand weights while I do it. It doesn't add much, but it's something! So now that I'm not focusing on exercise, I'm going to go back to focusing on sodium and potassium. Adding in water when you eat too much salt is always good, but I've discovered that if you pair that with additional potassium, it helps even more! Bananas are a great source, but so is milk, potato skins, strawberries, and several other whole foods. Processing takes out potassium and adds in sodium, so I'm going for LESS processing this week. (Day 1 is already blown because I ate school lunch.:laugh: Lots of sodium, little potassium.)

    Keep up the good work!

    September 6: (Goal 165, 25 lbs)

    i've been doing really well on water. the next couple of weeks with company it is going to be challenging getting in my exercise. so keeping to my routine when life is difficult is my goal for now ( and when exercising i've been kinda by-passing the weights and i need to get back to that this week too)

    Good morning and happy Tuesday! Today is week 4 day 2 of the P90X program and it's still recovery week. Today I completed the Core Synergistics dvd and it's quite the workout. Since I'm not as familiar w/this dvd as some of the other P90X workouts it took me a minute to get in the swing of things and there were a few moves that I truly struggled with (bow/boat, sphinx push ups, dreya roll) but stuck w/it the best I could. Since it's recovery week I have to complete this workout later in the week so hopefully I'll see a little improvement then. Nonetheless, the workout is done and I'm happy that I did my best.

    Glad to see so many ppl participating in the Labor day challenge. Keep focused and you'll have attained your goal before you know it. There was a lot of success w/the May Day challenge and I hope that everyone here experiences the same type of success.

    May 11: 163.8~ So this is my new digital scale's reading... I do know that I had dropped a pound earlier in the week, so I am guessing that my old scale was off quite a bit.... : ( Oh well, it doesn't change the total pounds I've lost when using the old scale... just means I'm not actually near the 150's... : ( I'll get there!

    Well I didnt loose the 4 lbs I was hoping I would do again, but I lost a few. I weighed 138.5 one day, but after that I went back up to 139.8. I feel frustrated, but I'm going to hope I can loose 3 lbs this week.

    Happy Hump Day all! Today is week 4 day 3 of the P90X program and I'm still enjoying recovery week. According to the P90X schedule I was suppose to complete the Kenpo X dvd but opted for the Core Cardio and Balance dvd from the Insanity workout. I truly enjoy this dvd. While it's not as long as the others (37 minutes) it gives you a good solid work full body workout. I am also happy to announce today was the first time I was able to complete the entire 3.22 minutes of the shoulder burners in plie stance w/o every putting my arms down. My shoulders were seriously burning but I kept breathing through the burn and before you knew it the entire 3 minutes had passed. I think I'm going to finish my week off w/this workout b/c I really do enjoy it.

    Second day of the Brazil But Lift done! Yey!! I'm loving it and its def kicking my "bum bum". Looking forward to seeing results. But I can already tell its working cause I'm sore in places I haven't been in a while so that's grrrrreat.

    Trying to get more in the groove of things so I can do my BBL in the am and still have time to hit the gym for some extra working out at night.

    I'm having problems with my HRM, but I've never used one before so I think I'm doing something wrong. I wanna figure it out so I can accurately track my calories burned.

    Good morning all! Let me start by stating that I'm really tired and I had absolutely NO DESIRE to get out the bed this morning never mind trying to complete a workout. However, I dug deeper and found some strength from within and got out the bed and 40 minutes later the workout was complete. Today is week 4 day 5 of the P90X program and I was supposed to do the stretch X dvd but opted for Cardio X instead.

    I've felt so distracted lately and I need to get my mind right. I am sooooooo looking forward to this L.A. trip b/c I just dont want to be in GA right now. I'm not sure what this funky mood is about but it's been here a few days and I need it to go invade someone else's space. I know that "This Too Shall Pass" so i'm holding on until then.

    Hope everyone has a great day and I'll try to check in later.
