My Weight Loss

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

A Pleasant Tuesday Morning!!

This morning, I woke up not too excited because I had a Biology final exam at 10:45am. However, I had the urge to do measurements and a weigh-in and I was so surprised! Not only was I was down 3 lbs (making a total loss of 12 lbs), I even lost 4.5 more inches!

My progress so far is 12 lbs and 10 inches lost in 15 days. I'd say that is pretty great! My hard work is paying off and I'm starting to notice. I just need to keep my eyes on the prize because usually I will eventually hit a plateau and get discouraged and fall off track. I REFUSE to let that happen and I know the supportive people in my life will not allow it either.

This weekend was pretty busy so I wasn't able to post. Stephen and I walked in the March of Dimes walk on Saturday (which was my off day for workouts) and it was a 3 mile walk so I still got some good exercise in. Sunday was another hair/makeup trial for the wedding. Not the most active day but it happens!

Monday I was supposed to run 1 mile for time however, my body just does not allow it. My herniated disks in my lower back and my knee were not happy. I still tried on a treadmill but it wasn't any better. I fast-walked the mile though because I did not want to give up. It took me 17:40 min. to do it. When I got home, I did Ab Ripper X which was SO tough because my abs were still sore from the last time I did it! I kicked butt though.

Today I have Core 20+Stretch 40 to do. My diet has been pretty clean too!

Today so far:
-Shakeology, 1 scoop
-PB2, 1 tbsp
-Fat Free Organic Milk, 8 oz
-Splash of water

-Quinoa, 1 cup
-Sauteed zucchini, 1 cup
