Goodbye, January School Term. Hello, Fitness Goals.

Yesterday's Results
The scale reads: 144 lbs. Goal: 127 lbs.

The stupid Wal*mart pedometer reads: 10527 steps, 2.658 mi., 436.7 calories

Other aerobic activities:

Methods Class, finished. Curriculum Development Class, no more. I am a happy camper. It was a challenging term because I really didn't know how to make time for some aerobics or other fitness related activity. I'm scaling it back to one course this upcoming term (that starts next Monday) so I can mellow out and get my bearings on my fitness goals again.

The wedding was nice. I guess what helped me cut down on the eating that night was the fact that Chris, family friends, Chris' mom, Chris' aunts, and I helped with serving food during the reception. I guess seeing over 100 people with the same food kind of makes you lose your appetite. I did good considering I only had one plate half full of ribs, a couple piece of briskets, a little itty bit of rice, a smidge of potato salad, half a serving of cake (of what I thought was a sliver of cake), and a cup of calorific beverage. I was surprised about the last one because these days I really like some high quality H2O (Nestlé Pure Life that is... it could be pretty costly, but it got a better grade than most bottled water brands we enjoy).

I was looking at my planner and I had set the goal of being down to 137 lbs. ... 4 weeks ago. Now that I have a week-long break, let's see if I can get closer to maintaining 143 lbs this week.

I guess I'm doing good because the video below actually scared me and did not appeal to me even though there was "moar bacon"


Here's to a new week! I know I can lose a pound or two or at least maintain 143 lbs.

    I think I had a heart attack just watching that video ... yikes.

    But glad to hear that school is winding down a bit for you. I know you can find a fitness solution that works for ya! It's always tough finding the right thing and mainly, time to work out, but hopefully you'll find what works for ya.

Yesterday's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 137 lbs. The stupid Wal*mart pedometer reads: 3375 steps, 0.852 mi., 140 calories (Lies again - the pedometer reset with my notice) Other aerobic activities: Snoring :( My ma has one. My future mother-in-law has one. According to one website, "Neoprene belt helps shed inches and fat around the waist. Lose weight naturally around the waistline." So far, no offense to them, I haven't seen it work for either one of them. I honestly never worn belts. Even at a slimmer physique, I didn't care or need to wear belts. To this day, I love wearing baggy jeans, but I never sag. My hope is even if I lose weight, I wouldn't need to go purchasing new baggy jeans. What fitness accessories can help (I do know there are no one-stop-cure-alls out there) lose the weight "naturally?" So far I have ankle weights and small weighted gloves.

Last Month's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 127 lbs. I can't believe 8 weeks has passed already! Look what I have accomplished within that time: I've earned the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award ! See, I earned myself some golden stars! I could've technically had 7 shiny, golden badges of accomplishment, but I had forgotten to keep track of my steps while I was in Southern CA (The first week of the challenge). I think I actually did more walking during that trip compared to the last 7 weeks of this endeavor. I guess it was silly of me to initiate the challenge before going on the trip. Regardless, I'm content with the results because: I was able to reach my goal. I was dedicated to this endeavor and a positive result came of it. I got the award electronically . I wasn't going to dish out 6 buckos and some change to get the paper one with stickers and a badge. There were many stressful periods during the weeks, but I walked off most of t...
