why oh why

Why oh why is consistancy such a problem for me? I do well for a while then fall off the wagon, its not jut weight loss, but every thing in my life. I need to be conscientious and be more consistant in my life. More disciplined.

I did well today at the gym, did 45 minutes on the elliptical, hoping my mid April I can be up to 1 hour on that darned thing!!!

good news bad news

The good news, I didnt gain any weight this past week. The bad news, I didnt lose any weight either. I ate good, but that was just 1/2 of the puzzle, as I am starting to see...I failed to put in any real time at the gym this week. I blamed the fact that I worked 8 days in a row as an excuse to not hit the gym. Yes I was tired those days, but that week of lack of gym time cost me weight loss. Obviously I would have lost had I put in the effort to go to the gym. If eating correctly allowed me to NOT GAIN, think what I could have done if only I had hit the gym as well. No time to sit back and kick myself, its a new week and I will achieve this week.

On another bright note, hubby and me have a weekend getaway planned. It will be nice to get away by ourselves, NO KIDS!!!! Kid free zone this weekend.....wonder how many times we will discuss the kids while we are away....lol

over and beyond

I did my 30 minutes on elliptical, then did my strength training. I decided to push myself and I did another 15 minute segment on the elliptical. I am stronger than I give myself credit for. I need to believe in myself and KNOW I can do it!!!

Wed weigh in 3-3

Last Wed I weighed in at 162.0. I worked hard this week, put my time in at the gym and at home on days I couldnt go to the gym. I counted calories in and out and I did it!!! Met my goal of 2.5 lbs this week. I am at 160.0!!! Next week goal is 157.5!!! 1/4 of the way to my 1st mini goal and a new CD!!!! I cant wait to accomplish all my goals!!

getting stronger

Last week my big accomplishment was doing 2 15 segments on the elliptical, today I did 30 minutes in a row!!! After the initial 15 minutes which I knew I could do, I kept telling myself to go for 5 more minutes!! 5 minutes is doable. 3 5 minute increments later I achieved 30 minutes. I will continue to do 30 minutes this week and next week I want to add 5 minute increments again. My goal is to eventually be able to do 1 hr!!!!
