PSB - Week 12 (New members always welcome)

Svey - Sorry I didn't mean to sound as if I would be pressured into doing anything - that isn't what I meant. What I meant was I know I am overweight and have been for awhile. I started a weightloss journey last year and in the first 3 months, I lost about 25lbs - well life got in the way and I let the excuses pile up next thing I know I am back here reading my old posts thinking I should be at me target weight, or at least VERY close, by now. I am embarassed only by my own actions - I am trying to pull my self back up and get on the wagon again. I appreciate this group and the mini challenges you set up for yourselves.

I will post my stats in the morning as I just got home from a walk - TOTALS: 51 min; in zone (124-140) 16.22 min; 293 cal burn


Tell you what it was kinda aggravating - I set out knowing I would walk at a brisk pace, so I did. I done this so I would get my hr up and burn more calories, at the end of the walk my husband says that was a nice leisure walk. I thought "you have got to be kidding me - I left you walking behind me so I could kick it up a notch and I was sweating and u tell me this was leisure." I don't even think he broke a sweat! UGH!!! (My husband, Mike, wasn't being mean or rude we actually stared the journey together last year and fell off together too. He started back about 4 weeks ago. He is working out right now as I type this post) The part that is so aggravating is how we can both pretty much walk the same pace and same distance and I am "working out" while to him it is "leisure". When we used to work out together I feel it was easier for him and so when he pushed it seemed he pushed harded than me and therefore had a much higher cal burn. I know men do that but still give a girl a break will ya :-) OK - I am off to read a book. I'll be back in the morning with my stats.

BTW - Thanks for listening to me ramble on and on! :laugh:

Not gonna make this challenge unless I buy a bike tomorrow! :laugh:

Another mile or so through airports and shopping in the afternoon. I did try to buy a bike today! The saleguy was a dip**** though and I just got frustrated and left.

Okay, first, sorry I didn't post miles each day, I completely got that wrong, and have been saving my totals for just posting today. Will try to be more "active" in posting during the week next week! Here are my totals though now.

Monday: 5.3 miles
Tuesday: 5.5 miles
Wednesday: 5.5 miles
Thursday: 4.6 miles
Friday: 6 miles
Saturday: 3.1 miles
Sunday: Not sure yet, will probably go at least 2-4 miles today.

Total: 30 miles, not counting Sunday since I am not sure.

For my recipe- that's been a rough one, because mostly we just eat fruits/veggies/nuts/sprouts etc, and any actual recipe that I do uses a dehydrator and probably wouldn't be something most people would do. I decided to post one that's simple that I make a few times a week for DH and DS.

Raw Oatmeal:
1 cup steel cut organic oats (soak overnight in water)
2 TBSP Raw organic agave nectar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp himalayan or celtic sea salt
3 TBSP ground flax
1 TBSP raw organic almond butter

After soaking oats all night, drain excess water off. Add all ingredients to blender and blend until creamy. Serve immediately, or place in bowls in dehydrator at 105 degrees for about 2 hours.

And for my weight numbers:

Week 12 goal: 240 (-2.0)
Week 12 Actual: 238 (-4.0)

MFP Starting Weight 319 1/12/2010
PSB Starting weight: 242 6/13/2010
Current Weight: 238 6/20/2010

# lbs lost: 81
# lbs to go: 83
