Weekly Weigh In

Well, it's been a rough few weeks, but I'm back. Almost 2 weeks ago I lost my motivation and was so sick of being close to losing 50 pounds but never hitting it. I went on a bad 4 day eating binge, it was awful and disgusting. I just couldn't get myself together. After the 4 days I had gained back 3 pounds and felt awful!

I had a hard time re-finding my dedication and drive, but I just kept pushing on, hoping I'd find it along the way. The good news is, I did, I found it! I pushed through and it slowly came back. I feel like I'm in a good spot mentally and for the first time in probably ever, I've found the drive to work out.

I started back up with the C25K, I'm on day 3 on week 4, and I still hate it! I just don't enjoy running and it's not getting any easier, but I just keep reminding myself that I'm not doing this to be able to run a 5k, I'm just doing it to burn calories and lose weight, so even if I'm not able to do each run, I am finishing it and getting in a good 30-35 minute work out.

I've also started adding in more exercise routines. I run every other day and then Monday after my run a did a quick 20 minute yoga session. Then last night I had Cole set up cardio circuits for me. He pushed me, and it made me happy, I wanted to quit, but I hung in there. I did a couple minute sprints before and after each set, then after the circuits we boxed, then I sprinted, and then he had me kick box. Then I put the treadmill on the highest incline and manually pushed it with my legs. It was a hard work out, but it actually felt good to push it that hard.

I actually broke down and bought myself a 15 pound kettle bell. I've been hemming and hawing over it for a while now. Cole finally convinced me to order one the other night, so I look forward to getting in some kettle bell work outs once it comes! 

Now, if you actually made it this far, thanks for reading! I did manage to lose those 3 pounds I had gained, plus I lost an additional 1.8 pounds! This now brings my total lost to 50.8 pounds! I finally hit the 50 pound mark and couldn't be happier! I still have a long way to go, but I'll get there.

I only lost 1.2 pounds this week, but that brings my total up to 48.9 pounds lost since January. I'm on week 3 of C25K and so far so good. Every time I start a new week it's hard, but doable. I haven't cheated in a long time, nor do I have the desire to. I feel like I've really embraced this healthy lifestyle. I'm planning ahead and working out in the morning if I know I'll be to busy to workout at night. I was hoping for a bigger loss this week, but I know it takes time. Hopefully in the next week or 2 I'll hit that 50 pound mark, here's hoping!

I lost 1.5 pounds this week bringing my total to 47.7 pounds lost. I feel so close yet so far away from hitting the 50 pound mark. I feel like I've been so close for a few weeks now. I'm hoping to push past this plateau this week and hit it. I've been doing C25K for the past few weeks and so far so good. It's been hard, but I've been able to do it. I'm on week 2 and have done 2 out of the 3 days already this week. I'll run the 3rd day tomorrow and depending on how that goes will decide if I add an extra day to week 2 or if I start week 3.

I am very happy to report I had a good week! I kept my eating very clean and stayed within my calories. I didn't get that many workout in, but we did finally move the treadmill to the kitchen Monday night. I lost 5.5 pounds this week!! That brings my total to 46.2 pounds lost and only 23.8 more pounds until I hit my 70 pound goal! I'm thinking about starting Couch25K this week, we'll see. I have a stupid chest cold that is holding me back exercise-wise, but hopefully in a few more days it will be gone. I had very few weak moments and craving this week, which is great. That's where I ran into all my problems last week. I hope to have another good week this week and hope for another big loss next week!
