90 Day Fitness & Food Challenge

Big Sigh. Still stuck at 130.8. I know it is 1 pound less than last week, but I have been stuck at 130.8 since last Saturday! Even if I just got down to 130.6, I could pull off the next sticky note from my progress wall! At this point, breaking into the 120s is looking slim for this month. I am going to start retaining water soon so unless I have a really quick drop in the next few days, I will lose minimal if any until next month. Did circuits today and walked. Won't be able to get in a second work out today or the rest of the week. Tonight is dinner with the sister. Going out to get burgers and cupcakes. I have found a way to work this in, without going over, but it certainly isn't going to help the weight loss process. Tomorrow I'll work out, but I'll have to pick up the bf from the airport after work so tomorrow evening is a no go. Hoping to get a meaningful workout in over the weekend and try to limit going out to eat as much as possible.

Rinde - That sounds so great! I hope you do well on the 5k training! Sounds like you have it covered!

Becs - Hope you found time to hit your goals! Hopefully you are back in the 120s!

Becs - That looks great Becs! Moving around totally counts!

Rinde - You are so dedicated!

Eating should be good today. Could not bring myself to do circuits this morning, but I did do a bunch of walking. Might do something later today. I am 95% sure I am joining a gym on Monday. It's a fancy one with tons of classes, so I hope that the money that I drop on it will motivate me to go 6-7 days a week! It will also let me do some swimming as well. I do have access to a pool right now for free, but it's in the middle of my apartment complex and even I can hear people splashing around it it, on the rare occasion someone actually goes in, and I am one of the farthest people away. Pretty sure there would be some unhappy campers if I am in there at like 7 am on a Saturday. Plus it is outside so it is cold! Up a tiny bit of weight today, but I am not surprised. I wound up going out to lunch yesterday too (my favorite falafel truck was by the office and they have the best salads). I get to eat the other half for lunch today! It is pretty healthy, but I also get a bit carried away at dinner/cupcakes. I am sure it will be off tomorrow!

Rinde - That is super exciting! Congrats about your pound! You are rocking it! Hopefully you can stay on track through the end of October!

Fantastic job! So happy for you!

I'm starting my new weight workout this afternoon with trainer. Then I'll be doing some cardio and yoga to finish the day.

Enjoy!

Rest day for me. Maybe some yoga but that's it.

Aliem: food may be off a little, but at least you got your workout in! Yay you!

Weighed myself this morning and I'm up 3lbs from the 21st. Don't know why unless it's water weight from muscle soreness and the pizza I had Friday night. Hopefully it will go down again shortly.

10/24 workout: 30 minutes run/ walk, 34 minutes dance, and 30 minutes yoga. A little sore and stiff from Saturday's weights but not too bad. Weights again tomorrow...on my own this time...hopefully I can remember proper form and do everything correctly. Looking forward to it.

Back down! Yay! I am one pound away from hitting 127.6, which is my October milestone so that might actually happen! 127 flat would obviously be better, but I am not totally convinced I will even hit 127.6 at this point. Either way, I crossed the line for losing 20 pounds in total today so that is always good! Had a really good experience with the yoga class last night. I will likely sign up for the gym today. Just want to see what they will offer me before I commit. It's a pretty big expense, but it would motivate me to go! Also, they have very nice saunas and such too....so that will be nice. Have already walked today. Will catch a class tonight if I sign up! Food should be good!

There are tons of classes. If I sign up tonight I would do a ballet barre cardio class and if I still have energy and don't mind being out kinda late there is a dance fitness class after that sounds fun. They have tons of classes though. Swimming, TRX, Cycling, Boot Camp, Yoga, various strength training classes and the list goes on! They have locations near me and near my clients so I can try to beat traffic before and/or after. Plus, if I wind up taking mostly cardio classes, they have a full gym I can use to make sure I get my weight training in. I think it will be fun to try new things.

Great job! Even 1.5 pounds is great! I have had that happen a few times where I look at the scale and think there is no way I am that weight and then I jump on again for a second and third time and it is a more reasonable weight. Plus my scale is getting kinda old and is pretty cheap. I probably just need a new one soon. Great job with the workouts! Maybe you can try some frozen pre-cooked breasts. They do make some with limited additional ingredients. Canned tuna and salmon are great though!

I did join and did the Barre Cardio class. And let me tell you, I loved it! I think I just found my favorite workout! I usually hate doing upper body, but doing this was totally a blast. I was warned to only use the 2 pound weights the first time cause you definitely do a lot of reps. I think next time I will stick to 2 pound, because they mix up the routines, but then jump to 3 pounds thereafter. I am like slightly sore today, but nothing major. Decided against the dance fitness class because I did not want to be too sore today. Tonight is TRX. I have never done it before, but it's suspension training using your body weight. Should be interesting! Might try out the steam room or something since the class gets out a bit earlier tonight. Still walked this morning. I definitely like it better being able to just walk in the morning. Though there are some cool morning classes that I might want to check out too. On Friday I am going to go to the one near my house, so hopefully the instructors/facility are just as good! It's got great reviews, but it definitely won't be as big as the one I have been going to, because the one I have been going to is one of the largest ones. Food is pretty good today (probably should not have eaten the goldfish (or the chips yesterday), but my calories were a bit low anyway!)

Rinde - Great job! great news with the loss! Hopefully we both lose our pound! Either way, your progress has been great! Only a few more day!
