Week 4

Seems like everyone was a little sick this past week...me too! I'm under 150, but still haven't lost weight since week one.

Good news, my stomach is down 2 more inches ( a total of 5 inches) and hips down a half inch.

Weight doesn't count, right?

I'm not going to complain!

Week 2 and 3

I'll admit it, it is a little frustrating watching everything you eat and exercising 5 days a week...really exercising....and to gain weight. Truly, I know I keep shrinking, but the weight is just not going away. So although I gained a bit, I lost 3 inches. in my stomach. Not bad! I have to get rid of my current stress, I think, before I can really lose this last 18 lbs. I hope all to be resolved in the next week or two or else I'm REALLY going to be stressed and we will see if we will be moving instead. =(

Week 1

I had big plans for myself this week and since I wasn't a final contender in the challenge I was thinking that I didn't have to post. I'm finding I'm not as hard core as I thought without a little motivation. So, I created this page as my motivation and if nobody looks at it, that is okay. I just need to know that it is out there and I am accountable! I do not have much more to lose, but I want it gone. So let's get moving!

Starting out measurements

Height: 5'2"
Weight: 151
Waist: 37.5
Hips: 41.5
Arms: 13.75
Bust: 37.25
Thighs: 25.25

BMI: 28

My Plan for week 1 and 2:

Exercise: Attend the gym 5- 6 days a week for an hour a day. Lifting  2-3 days and doing cycling or some sort of aerobics the others. My goal is to work my way up to 2 hours of exercise a day and try to incorporate my kids into it as much as possible.

Food: Eat my 1/2 cup of cereal made from scratch (oatmeal, fiber one, flax seed, almonds, wheat germ and honey) with lactose free milk and a piece of fruit

Snacks: A serving of fruit or veggies in between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner

Lunch:  salad (lettuce, tomatoes, and whatever veggies I have on hand) topped with a handful of chicken and a bit of balsamic vinaigrette dressing or raspberry vinaigrette.

Dinner: Whatever I serve my family combined with an equal portion of whatever I eat of a salad or raw veggies.

Water: My goal is to drink 64 oz a day

Curfew: No eating after 8 pm...that will be hard and eventually I want to make sure I am in bed by 10, but I'll have to work my way up to that one!

Pictures to come, dun, dun, dun!
