Weight Loss - Week ?!

In the beginning of the year I started with weight loss updates and of course by week 4 I completely forgot to blog about it. The good thing though I didn't stop with the weight loss :-) It's been 3 1/2 months of hard work and its paid off! I am still continuing to watch what I am eating but still have a few cheat days here and there and I am at the gym between 4 to 5 times a week. I barely have any pictures of myself but I did find two. The first one is from May 2010 (My birthday celebration), and the second one is from this month, I am wearing the same dress in both pictures. I have noticed huge changes in my body but haven't noticed in pictures til I compared these two, and WOW! Maybe all my hard work is paying off! I have hit my first weight loss goal but I have one more to go and then its time for lots and lots of toning!

Weight Loss Update - Week 3 & 4

It was a busy week last week and didn't get to post my weekly update. However I have been doing GREAT! Down another pound and 1/2, woot woot! I am have been doing good going to the gym 4 days a week and strength training between two and three times a week. I am usually an elliptical girl but have been switching it up with running on the treadmill. I have NEVER been a fan of running but actually lately, I am enjoying it. I average about 2.25 miles sometimes 2.50 miles. And I am loving it! This week is a new week and I am going to bump the running to 2.75 miles. Here's to hoping I get a little closer to my BIG goal this week!

New goals for this week:

1) Cardio 4 days this week (Running 2.75 miles)
2) Strength training 3 days this week (2 days arms/1 day legs)

Weight Loss Update - Week #2

So maybe setting little goals each week is the key to making weight loss successful! This week has been pretty good.... I am down a pound from last week. Pretty good for the first week. Although I know a pound doesn't seem like a lot but when your petite like me and your total goal is only 6 lbs, mine will be slow and steady and take lots of time.

My goals for last week:

#1 - Drink 32 oz of a water a day (Right now I average about 2oish) - COMPLETE
#2 - To track what I am eating on Fatsecret.com - COMPLETE
#3 - Exercise 3 times a week - COMPLETE

I actually managed to achieve all my goals for last week. I am shocked! So since the little goals are helping I will be doing them every week.

This week's goals:
#1 - Drink 50.7 oz (3 bottles of Aquafina) a day
#2 - Exercise 4 times this week
#3 - Strength training 2 times this week

Here's to another week of hoping losing another pound!

One New Year's Resolution

I don't usually make New Year's resolutions but this year its a MUST! This is the first year in many that I won't be pregnant or just have had a baby. This year is going to be all about getting back to the "old" me. Although I am only a few pounds from being what I used to weight its just not the same since having the girls. I am going to start with small goals that way they are achievable and work from there.

Losing weight and getting healthy is a mixture of things.... Eating healthy is #1 and of course exercising is another big one! Here are three goals I have set for this week!

#1 - Drink 32 oz of a water a day (Right now I average about 2oish)

#2 - To track what I am eating on Fatsecret.com

#3 - Exercise 3 times a week

I will be doing a weekly update on how I am doing. Hopefully this will be even more motivation to keep with it.

Here's to a Happy & Healthy 2011!!!
