Week 4: Need to Do Some More!

Week 3 results: Slowing down

Other random fitbit stats to spur some more mileage out of me:

Other aerobic activities:
  • Knockout Body (20 min.)
  • Leslie Sansone's Walk Away Your Waistline (15 min.)
  • Rockin' Body (46 min.)
  • Jane Fonda's Abs, Buns, and Thighs (50 min.)

By golly, this rain business needs to go away. For the last 2 days, I've been in hibernation mode. Yes, I've gotten the necessary amount and best quality sleep I've had in a while, but I've been inactive. Due to the rain, I missed out on a 7 mi. hike at Huntsville State Park earlier in the week. Having a slow, lazy start didn't help gain momentum during the rest of this rainy week. Also, as the temperature dips, I've fallen into a very common trap of wanting to duck down, mellow out, and just lie there, motionless. My eyelids grow even more heavy with the dim overcast taunting me.

I've got 3 more days left in this week. I need to get more active! I can't let myself get lower than 95k steps for the entire week. I've consumed more calories this week than has been allotted if I were to lose any weight as recommended by fitbit.

My sudden desire to hone my culinary skills is a partial culprit here. Take a look-see at what's cookin' this past week:

Carb overload of the banana walnut variety


Honey Bunches of Oats Chicken Strips paired with some spring mix


Chicken Parmesan paired with whole wheat linguine

The oven mitts are off. Time to step it up.

    Ah I know the feeling. It's been a bit chilly by LA standards, so I've been hunkering down indoors as well. But hang in there, you're still staying pretty active. Keep it up and I'm sure in no time you'll start adding more and more activities.

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...

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.
