Good evening fellow losers.....

So sorry it's been so long since I've been on here...   Was a little busy there for a while...

We had our 3rd weigh in last night.  I lost 5 pounds in two weeks and in 6 weeks I have lost 13.5 pounds.  I feel really good... I am proud of myself and how much I have been going to the gym and how much I have come to enjoy going to the gym.  I actually miss it when I don't go.  I was the first in our group to complete this circuit that our trainer gave us.  I was proud of myself for that.  It's a pretty killer circuit:
Do each exercise for 30 seconds with a one minute rest between sets

push ups
squats
flutter kicks
lunges
bicep curls
jumping jacks
shoulder press
russian twits
full body sit ups
plank

I was able to do each set in about 5 minutes...

Tonight we had a great dinner (recipe from my boss's wife).. crockpot chicken taco filling

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
package taco seasoning
1 can drained and rinsed black beans
1 can corn
1 can diced tomatoes
cook about 4 hours, remove chicken and shred, return to crockpot

makes about 15 3/4 cup servings and each serving is 81 calories.. I used lettuce and made lettuce wraps with a little cheese on top but you can use whole wheat tortillas...

I have a trip coming up and I won't have a gym readily available but I have been writing down the excercises that I do at the gym, which most of them I don't need the gym for.  But I am a little worried about getting in my cardio... Guess I'll have to go outside and run... Maybe my son will go with me. 

I'll be up at it early tomorrow, plan to be at the gym at 5am to make up for not going tonight  So tomorrow I'll do two work outs.  I'll go in the morning and do 30 min of cardio and a couple rounds of circuit.  Then I'll go to the gym after work and do our group boot camp.. plus more cardio...  I can do it!!!

Wishing everyone and successfull week...

Good Evening fellow losers,

What a great first 30 days.... we had weigh in on Monday night.  Down another 3 pounds for a total of 9 pounds in 4 weeks.... I feel great about that.  That's 4.43% of weight lost...  Even with a cold I went to the gym and worked out tonight.  I actually think it helped clear out my cold....

I have a big weekend coming up where I will be at a convention in a hotel from Thursday to Sunday.... I'm going into this with a plan, I want to be strong and not get off track.  I plan to stick to my no alcohol for 90 days... I'm bringing an instant tea kettle with me, I really enjoy drinking my hot water.  It's one way I get in all my water....  I also plan on bringing my meal bars to use as a way to curb my appitite to eat less.  I also plan on getting up at 5am to get in a work out before the days start.  I do not want to miss any workouts..  I really like working out!!

And I never thought I would be saying this but I am having trouble getting in all my calories.. I need to be at about 1300 and I have been getting about 1000 to 1100.  So now I'm working on getting in more calories...

Wishing everyone a successfull journey...

Hello Fellow Losers.....

I think my changing up my workout is working. Today I felt thinner.... I wore pants that I had bought a while ago that were well let's just say "snug".... today they felt perfect!! So I'm taking that as a positive!!  My next big weigh in is on Monday..    So in three weeks I have taken one day off... I have my boot camp with my trainer on Saturday and another boot camp workout on Sunday.. 

I am very proud of myself and my dedication to my nutrition... I said no cookies at work and no alcohol for 90 days.  Almost 4 weeks and I haven't had either!!!!  I have journaled every thing I have put in my mouth....

Hello fellow losers,

I have gone to the gym for 15 days in a row.  I even got up at 4:30 two days in a row to be there at 5am.  And I am NOT a person who can get up early very well.  I did a super bowl boot camp at the gym today.  I keep being told that I need to take a day off from the gym, I'm afraid to not go to the gym.  I'm trying to mix it up a bit at the gym, I'm now doing intervals on the tread - run, walk, run, walk, etc for 30 min.  That is much harder than it sounds, believe me.....

Today was the super bowl but we stayed home, I didn't want to be tempted and I wanted to control my food.  We had awesome garlic lime shrimp on top of salads for dinner.  Under 300 calories for dinner.  :)

I have one more week before we weigh in again... I got on the scale yesterday and I hadn't lost a pound after being diligent with my nutrition and excercise.. very disappointing.  Which also another reason I'm trying to mix it up at the gym, perhaps my body has gotten used to what I was doing... I will not give up!!!  Just makes me try harder!  My trainer also said that I probably wasn't eating enough calories, who would have thought that????  So now to try to get in more calories..... and they still have to be the right calories.   We'll see what effect these changes make, hoping for big a BIG difference showing on the scale next monday.!!!

Wishing everyone a successful week...
