Week 13 Report

This was a pretty decent week. Even with the candy in the house I didn't go hog wild and eat everything in sight (a first). I got in 3 out of 4 days of my walking DVD, stepping it up to the 2 mile, 30 minute workout. And I did 6 out of 7 days of devotions. Still no Total Gym days, though. I'm going to have to figure out alternate days perhaps, because Tuesdays and Thursdays just aren't working for me.

Gonna do even better next week!

Week 12

Week 12 marks the end of October. I'm gonna probably lose this one to my sister.

I ended up with 4 out of 7 days for devotions and 2 out of 4 days for the walking DVD. I broke my water jug, but figured out I don't technically need as much water as I thought I did.

A new month marks new goals, so I need to step it up. I want to prove to myself that I can still watch my diet and enjoy the holidays at the same time. It's also very challenging at home because now after the Fall Festival, the kids have a TON of candy in the house which will be a test of my willpower. I've made a point of not keeping goodies in the house which has helped me to not be a snacker. I have a very big goal to lose 7 pounds this month, putting me at under 200 pounds--a place I haven't been in 5 years. I'm very excited about it and nervous at the same time.

Definitely pray for me and stay tuned.

Week 11

Did better on the devotions, getting 5 out of 7 days. Still having a hard time remembering to get out the Total gym.

Started the week drinking my water but didn't finish strong.

Not a strong week overall.

Month # 3 Stats

I missed last month's stats, so I'm starting a new weigh-in cycle on the first of each month. Here's the newest stats and how they compare to the September 10 weigh-in.

Weight - 206, down 4 pounds!!!!! Yay! I've been pretty much consistently losing 2 pounds a month. My goal for this month is an ambitious one of 7 pounds so that I can finally get below the 200 mark (and stay there!). Gonna have to step it up.

Tummy - 48" - stayed the same.

Arm - 15 3/4" - lost 3/4"

Thigh - 24" - gained an inch

Waist - 45" - down 3 inches!!

Chest - 45 1/2 - gained 1/2 inch

I'm pleased overall but expect to put up some bigger numbers next month, despite the Thanksgiving holiday.
