Bite-Sized Weight Loss - MAY Edition EVERYONE WELCOME!!
Hello All!
I like the accountability and twice weekly weigh-ins and want to invite anyone who would like to or feels they would benefit to join as well. Everyone is welcome!
We weigh in on Mondays (for weekend accountability - or at least so we are aware ASAP of the damage) and Fridays (usually a boost since weekday eating right and exercise are usually a little easier to stick with).
This runs for one month: April 30 - June 1
(The dates are to keep it Monday start day and Friday end day, so we won't officially start the new challenge until AFTER the weekend, and even though there isn't a "May" date up there it will be the entire month of May represented by the end.)
Good luck, everyone!
May Challenge (April 30 - June 1st)
Start Weight: 152.5
Goal Weight: 140 (Decided to aim a little low for this month, anything more would be a great bonus! 
)
Week 1
Mon Apr 30: 152.5 Got my P90x started up again yesterday so I have Saturdays off for stretching, did my Plyometrics today, hoping to see some weight loss this week 
Fri May 4: 152.5 (Took my weight in the morning before I ate anything. After 4 days of P90x I haven't dropped any weight but I'm noticing I'm starting to look more toned and I lost nearly 2 inches off my waist, 1/2 an inch off my arms, and 1/4 inch off my legs, so not too bad.)
Week 2
Mon May 7: 153 (Ughhh gained half a pound. Not sure how since I worked out all throughout the weekend and didn't go over my calories so I'm just guessing it's some muscle starting to build up which I think is good lol)

GOAL FOR THE WEEK: I have been to class everyday (even when I REEAAALLLLYYYY didn't want to) and WILL go tomorrow morning - maybe even a little treadmill time tonight, but not sure. I COMPLETED my 30 miles in a month, but have had to contact CC to get them to count it because they weren't always 1 mile at the same pace... GRR!!! I just hope to break even this weekend, but my track record says I will probably be back up. We'll see...

Week 3
Mon May 14: 163!!!!! - UGH! Okay, to be totally fair, it is TTOM and the day after Mom's Day, so I cut myself a little slack and decided to just buckle down this week. Not expecting major progress, but hoping to be back where I was by Friday and (as this posting is WAY late on Wednesday) am already at 158.8, so I think a lot was water and hormones... the .8 lb still here may be honest from bad eating, though. :)

GOAL FOR THE WEEK: This is Wednesday. I went to class on Monday, a 3 mile walk Tuesday (eye doctor and Lowes kept me from class) and so my goal is to get to class today (Wednesday) despite some pretty mean cramps and tomorrow & REALLY watch what I eat so I can be at least back to breaking even with last Friday by this Friday. (fingers crossed)

GOAL THIS WEEK: Get my head out of my butt and really start working out every day!!! I have a baby and she's started waking up around 4 this week so it's hard to get up at 5:30 and work out when I'm rocking her back to sleep for a 1/2 hr. I need to start going to bed when she does and just get up at 4 for the day. No more excuses!

I am so frustrated with myself. I have a sick dog, had a plumbing disaster, and I've been busy at work and I haven't exercised at all for a week. For a couple of days it was all about the pizza and vending machine as well. It doesn't feel very good - not just because I'm not nearing my goal, but I'm bloated and sometimes feel like I've been sitting in one spot too long.

Fri May 18: 159.6 - Um... Not really the progress I was hoping for, but at least out of the 160's AGAIN. It's been hot all week in our fitness classroom, so we have been doing a LOT of toning and weights, but not much aerobic activity.
