weekly report

It's a new year... so I'm starting a new way to share my weekly report. Once a week I'll do one post with both weight and the weekly exercise journal...


This week's weigh-in brings good news... the holiday weight is coming off! That makes me happy!!! Yippee!!!


Weigh-in
Monday morning weigh-in: 271 lbs
Starting weight (Jan '10): 293 pounds
Weight loss/gain since last weigh-in: -3
Net weight loss since beginning my journey: -22 pounds

Exercise since 1-3-11
37.2 miles tracked
2 hours, 47 minutes logged
2,799 calories burned
6 tracked workouts (dailymile.com synopsis)


How do I feel? Feels great to be back on track...
And yes, it's slow... a bit slower than I would've expected. But every week is a learning experience. I'm learning to be healthier... learning to take care of myself... learning to set aside the bad habits and come up with good/healthy ways to celebrate life.


It may take the rest of my life... at least I'm moving in the right direction!

She was proud of me!

Today I had the annual appt with the OBGYN... one of the first things she wanted to talk about was how I was losing weight!


When I started this journey I was 293 lbs! Yes, nearly 300 lbs. I remember the feeling of despair I felt when I first went over 200 lbs. Well, I was fearfully close to 300... and I was in denial.


Briefly I told my Dr what I've been doing and she was proud of me! SHE WAS PROUD OF ME!!!


Then we went on to talk about hormones and other fun things... I'm sure you wanted to be there.

weekly exercise journal: 12-27-10

Nothing much to say... just that at least I'm at the gym. With all this eating I've been doing I'll be lucky if I don't put all the weight back on. Sheesh...

weekly exercise journal: 12-20-10

Have put some weight back on with family here and celebrating Christmas early. They have gone back home now I'm feeling a tad guilty for having pigged out while they were here. So, this is what guilt looks like...

Another hit 'n miss this week... took a few days off... gained back several pounds while family was in town, so feeling down on myself. But at least I'm back at the gym.
