August 04 Shelley: Survived the DayI did good today. I ended up counting points after all. I was surprised on how easy I fell back into it. I did 6 min on the elliptical. Ok, it's not much but I wanted to walk but couldn't due to the weather. I did go over points by having an ice cream blizzard from Dairy Queen. I used my flex points. The point is though that I made great strides today. I drank 44 oz of water. I only have had 2 cans of pepsi one which means I had more water than my pepsi's. I counted points and if it wasn't for the blizzard I would have used them all but not going over. I'm feeling good about everything. I will make good choices again tomorrow. I'm feeling pretty good about everything right now. Stephanie: A lossGood afternoon. I feel like I have finally made it over the hump. I have been stuck at the same weight area forever. I would lose then gain the same pound. Weigh in on sat went good. Lost 2.4 lbs. Yippee. lose 0.8 more and it up to 45 total loss. I am at 101 lbs. Not sure the exact number. So close to ONEderland. I had a good weekend. I went on a charity bike ride for a woman with cancer. We went 90 miles. One way through the country was like 54 miles. This was the first time I was on a bike longer than a 1/2 hour. My butt was numb by the time we stopped for a break. The was home was only approx 36 miles. So much better length wise but it was on the highway which was the first time I been on the back of my husbands bike going that fast. Kinda freaky but fun. Welcome back Shelley. I missed reading your blogs. They are always inspiring. Don't worry, You have not disappointed me or let me down. Always know I love you and will no matter what. I just want you to get fit to be healthy so We will look HOT and grow old together. You keep me sane with that brother of yours. HAve a great day. Shelley: Getting Back at ItI'm back! Yes, I'm going to get back to my weight loss. I've really screwed up. I'll admit it. I've never officially quit so I'm not a failure. Remember I only fail when I quit. I've just not been trying as hard as I should. Yes, I've had plenty of I'm going to get back on track days. I've always had some sort of excuse to not follow any kind of plan. Well, enough is enough. I'm not exactly back to counting points YET! I'm going to concentrate on getting my water in, a little bit of exercise, NO DEW, and watching portion sizes and the types of food I eat. Small steps will equal big changes. I will reweigh in the morning. I know I"m back over 250. I'll find the definite number and will get my life back on track. Stress has been my biggest excuse. I realized that not doing well on my plan has added to my stress. This is one aspect that I can correct and make a change in. I'm ready. I want to look great on the back of my husband's Harley! I am going to make the proper changes and make people proud of me. I feel like I"ve let everyone especially Steph down. I'm so proud of her success and am so inspired by her strength. I am going to accomplish my goal so we can have our trip to Indy! Indy here we come! July 24 New measurements.I have to admit I have been getting frustrated. I feel like I am stuck at a standstill with my weight. Even though I have been following plan and getting my good health guidelines in, I feel like I have reached a plateau. I have been stuck at 203 lbs forever a a day it seems. I decided to take my measurements and They shrunk some. Yipee. Even though I am not losing pounds, I am losing inches. So here they are, Waist: 44 1/2 Hips: 49 Thigh: 23 1/4 Arm:12 1/2. Thatshould give me the motivation I need to continue on even when I am stuck weight wise. Have a great night. July 12 Stephanie:4 mile walkI am exhausted. I just completed my first 4 mile walk. Not only was it my first race, it was the first time I have intentionally walked that far. I completed the course under 58 minutes. I am not sure of the time but it was like 57 min and 52 sec or so. It was lightly sprinkling at first and by the time I got to the first mile marker, it was pouring. I ended up coming in second place in my age bracket. The winner of the walk completed the course around 45 minutes. I am proud of myself. I would love to do it again. In the beginning, I was not sure I could keep up the pace. The most I have walked before is around 2 miles and I usually take about 45 minutes but I never really push to walk faster. I prayed to God during the walk and asked for strength to complete the race. and through him
i did. Now I feel like jello. I could use a good nap. I did earn 7 activity points and burned over 700 cal.
Since I had the race this week, I did not go to weigh in so I am not really sure weight wise how I did this week, although I am sure eating at the Mexican place last night did not lean in my favor. I ate way too much. The rest of the week, I felt like I did good. I went over in points every day that I exercised, but I did not use all my extra 25 weekly points until last night at Mexican. I had gotten all my good health guidelines in like I was supposed to. I am pretty proud of my week for the most part.
Here is the start of a new week. Time to get back on track.
