    Week 2

    PW: 129.4
    CW: 128.0

    Followed my diet perfectly 🍌🥗 and exercised (cardio 🏃‍♀️ & strength🏋️‍♀️) 4 out of the 7 days.

    Was hoping for a little bit of a higher loss since I was so committed (and am so sore!!), but I know that effort doesn't always show up on the scale immediately.

    Also, unrelated but I killed it at work this week 📝. I went in early, took less breaks, was highly productive, and came up with creative ideas. I work 6 days week🤯 so I'm ready for my "cheat meal" tonight🍔 and rest 💤.

    Hi Everyone it’s been a busy week I will tell you all about it when I have more time

    Weight loss 1pound
    SW 130
    CW 129

    All days tracked stayed within my calorie budget and all days 20 minutes of exercise done

    Well, it may have been a busy week, but it was also a good week, judging by your daily exercise and by the scale, of course!! Nice loss!

    That is fantastic, Keith! Don't be put off by the number of people all trying to workout at once....that will drop off come February. And if you feel overwhelmed at all by what exactly you should be doing, hire a personal trainer for a few sessions to get you set you up on a program and get you started. And the internet is great at answering questions about the gym and gym routines. Enjoy! This can be what you do with your time that you used to allot to going out for fast food!

    MINI CHALLENGE
    DATE: Friday, January 11, 2018
    Logged food: Yes
    Under calories: Yes
    Exercised: Yes - 40 minute elliptical with a few intervals in there / 10 minutes stretching
    Steps as of posting: 14,701

    SMALL WIN OF THE DAY: usually do 30 minutes on elliptical. Pushed myself o do more and I did :). Incremental gains! And 40 is way more difficult than 30. Oddly enough, the hardest part was minutes 30-32. It was easier mentally after that. Probably a life lesson in that.

    The life lesson being, "it's all in your head, Mike!" Our mind absolutely gets in the way of things our physical bodies are quite capable of!!

    Congratulations on the loss this week! And unless you are four foot nothing, then a 1.4 pound loss is absolutely the rate that is best for you for sustainability. So, well done!! It sounds like you are "in the zone" in all aspects of your life right now.

    Just went to test out what my bike ability is currently. I was able to ride 15 miles in just under an hour. I don’t think that was bad considering I didn’t have an actual goal or even what I was getting into. Almost all of my cardio usually comes from running/walking.
    Now that I saw that result I guess I need to research efficient training plans

    Edit: I actual had no issues with the exercise. But bike seats are so uncomfortable. Butt-numbing uncomfortable. Haha

    tracked: yes
    calories: yes
    exercise: yes, 15+ miles biking

    Sun: no
    Mon: yes
    Tue: yes
    Wed: no
    Thu: no
    Fri: no
    Sat: yes

    There are more no’s than yes's there but it was actually a good week. My diet was very well balanced except Friday night. One of those no’s I still got a good workout in before going a little over in calories. Two of them I didn’t get to work out but I was way under in calories. Good progress.
    I am gonna have to lose 2 lbs a week for the next 7 weeks if I want to hit my short term goal before our Jamaican vacation. I know I may not hit that but I want to get as close as possible

    Week 3 day 1 of c25k training. It beat me, but although i had to take breaks in the running I made it to the end. I might end up repeating week 3 to get where i need to be, but I will do it.
