My Obsession with the Number 199.

In one of my previous posts I said I was not going to post any weigh ins until I saw the number 200lbs on the scale. However, due to so many frustrating weigh ins I've decided to break the rule. This morning I stood on the scale and saw 209lbs so, my goal for the next two months is to hit 199lbs by November 16. Thankfully, now that I have an elliptical in my bedroom I can workout at 12 midnight, 3am or any other time I feel like it.

What do you think? Is 10lbs in two and a half months workable?

My New Baby!

I got this on Saturday.....


My gym's membership fees was just getting ridiculous. There was no way I could keep it up so I decided to make a long term investment. We already have a treadmill, resistance bands, dumbbells and an exercise ball at home. I think with this addition I don't have to go the gym though I must admit I'm going to miss my personal trainer. Guess I'll just stick to Billy Blanks and Insanity videos.

Anyways, I clocked in 30 minutes on this baby and burnt 350 calories this morning. I plan on doing another 30 minutes this evening.

Hope you are all doing okay.

Cheers folks.

I Love My Trainer...

Lol! I scream "I hate you" when he is putting me through grueling workouts but smile when we are done for the day and I'm hurting all over. The reason? Simple! feeling sore means I'm doing something right.

This week has been a good one for me. I've exercised for four out of five days and I've been eating right. After all, weight loss is 30% exercise and 70% diet. Doesn't it hurt when after sweating and struggling to burn 500 calories in the gym, you then go on to binge on a 3000 calorie meal? I'm tired of negating my hard work with food. I don't want to sound like a broken record so I will say this... It's getting better everyday.
