Thankful

I only had one change this week and it was in my weight. I went from 173.6. To 173.2. Good thing about this is I am not gaining. Bad news is I have to figure out what I need to do differently this week to be able to see more progress. I believe I have gotten a little spoiled with the major changes from week to week and I get somewhat discouraged when I only see minimal change. I am thankful that I am still moving in a positive direction and I will not let the slower progress discourage me. 

It's a rainy day out there today so when you pass by the crazy woman in a wetsuit on her bicycle I ask that you keep the laughter to a minimum. :) 

Fitness week

Good Morning All! I don't see much of a change this week but definitely no gain. I have been working out a little more this week and I feel that I am toner just not smaller. I am pleased with the results regardless. I will have to make this week a calorie counting week again to see changes in the scale and also continue with the increased exercise.

Weight last week 174, this week 173.6
Bicep last week 11.5, this week 11
Waist last week 35.5, this week 35.25
Thigh last week 21.25, this week 21.25
Hips last week 40.5, this week 40

Headed out for another 9 miles on the bike. Let's do it!

woo Hoo !!!!

Good morning everyone! It has been a very good week for me. I did what I set out to do and it payed off. I set a calorie per day limit of 1200 and it helped increase the weight loss for the week. I honestly hate counting calories but if it works, I'm all for it at this point. I felt like I had hit a plateau and was discouraged.

Weight 174.0 down 2.2 from last week total lost 34!
Bicep 11.5 same as last week down 4.5 '' per arm from beginning!
Waist 35.5 down .75 from last week total inches lost 4.5 from beginning!
Thigh 21.25 down .25 from last week total inches lost in both from beginning 12''!
Hips 40.5 remains steady from last week total lost from beginning 6.5''!

So let's see that's down 34 lbs, and total inches lost 32! All smiles here!
Now headed out to ride my 6 miles feeling very  accomplished!

commit

Good morning. It has been an up and down week for me. I have cheated a lot on the diet this week but still seeing progress. I think the bike riding has helped keep the weight at bay. Problem is  want to lose more then a half pound a week, I want to take off more then a few inches per week. Bottom line is I am planning to commit harder this week to the diet and continue increasing the exercise. I guess if weight loss were easy then everyone would be doing it....
I'm not at all disappointed with my progress I just know I was capable of more this week and my goal is to set out to prove that this week.

Beginning weight 208, last week 176.4, this week 176.2
Bicep beginning 16, last week 12, this week 11.5
Waist beginning 40, last week 36.5, this week 36.25
Thigh beginning 47, last week 22.25, this week 21.75
Hips beginning 47, last week 40.5, this week 40.5
