2010 Week 3, Here I Come
This morning I am feeling strong, confident, and full of energy! Oh, this is what being healthy feels like? Ah, well thank you sir, may I have another.
And now for the true test of my hard work. This morning Mr. Tanita said I weigh 195.6 pounds. That means I've lost 1.4 pounds this week. I am quiet pleased with that. This means I only have 10.6 pounds to lose to get to 185 pounds by my birthday which is in 8 weeks. I can easily lose 1.325 pounds per week over the next few weeks.
In addition, I've changed my weight goal to a more immediate one. Besides being 185 by March 11, I am really concentrating on milestones. The larger one is getting to a healthy BMI which means I need to weigh 174 pounds. I'm hoping to get there by Memorial Day.But let's get to March first.
This past week was insane challenge-wise. Again, I must reiterate that I did 1,750 crunches in 7 days. THAT'S CRAZY! But that's the meaning of a challenge - pushing yourself to ridiculous limits. And I love love love it!
Lunges and Crunches and Cardio,
oh my! I started my own challenge and I am going to kick its ass. This coming week is going to be another go get 'em one for me. I am working hard to whittle down my middle. Daily requirements: Crnches = 100, Lunges = 250, Cardio = 30 minutes. Anything on top of that is a bonus. I think I might actualy go to the gym on Monday or Wednesday to take the cardio kickboxing class. I haven't been to the gym in months.
For food, its all about healthy ingredients I've never had before, so I'm gonna try some bulgar, quinoa and/or barley. Maybe I'll throw in some dried prunes and swiss chard in for good measure.
It's going to be an exciting week!
Question: How are you kicking things up this week?

This week, my boyfriend and I will be eating healthier. We've just made a grocery list so we can get on track. I want to lose 25 lbs so I can be in bikini shape.

Congrats on the weight loss.
In addition to the regular cardio, I'm going to attempt to take two classes (i.e. they're all boot camp classes) a week to boost, hopefully, my metabolism...

Great blog you have here. Very inspirational. I have a site as well which I hope will be a top resource for those looking for the motivation they need in order to lose weight. There are very little sites like ours out there.
I'd like to exchange links with you. Please let me know if this is possible under the "Best Weight Loss Websites" page. Until then, keep up the good work.
