lb. 4 lb.

Well, I have failed. Tomorrow marks the 6 th week in my 'Lose 10 Pounds in 6 Weeks' challenge. Last Monday, when I weighed myself, it said I had gained half a pound, putting me at a total of 5.5 lbs. lost in 5 weeks. This completely devastated me and caused a HUGE decline. I ate a bad meal every day this week. It's pathetic and even worse to admit, but I didn't eat as well as I had the past weeks. And I only worked out 3 times this week. I've always made either 4 or 5 days in which I've worked out, but not this week. So, tomorrow morning when I step on the scale, I know it won't show a decrease. And I did nothing two weeks ago that warranted a gain of half a pound. I don't know what happened but I reacted poorly. I plan on getting my act together again tomorrow. I'm hoping all is not loss by the horrible week I had and that good results will continue coming my way. On other news, I have completed my first week of school at my new univers

Tomorrow marks a new chapter in my life. It's my first day of school at my new university. I'm very excited and surprisingly, not nervous at all. I'll be going there three times a week and working at my old school twice a week. I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up the job while taking 5 classes, but I'm hoping for the best and will see how it goes. I have three years at this school, so I can always switch things up next semester if need be. As of last Monday, I'd lost 6 lbs in 4 weeks. I'll be weighing myself tomorrow morning to see how much I lost this past week. Then there's one week left in my 'Lose 10 pounds in 6 Weeks' goal. Things won't stop at that point, as I've gotten myself in a nice workout routine and good eating habits. I can also (slightly) feel a difference in my body, knowing some inches have made their way off. When looking in the mirror, I can't tell a difference and know others can't, either. B

So I had a pretty awesome attitude all day today. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Work was more hectic than usual, I stubbed my pinky toe pretty bad and had a dry throat from talking so much. But then I finally realized why: I've lost 6 lbs. so far! After losing another 1.5 pounds this last week, my total for 4 weeks is 6 pounds. That means I have 4 lbs. left to lose in the next 2 weeks in order to reach my short term goal. It doesn't seem like a lot, especially since it took 4 weeks to do, but I feel it's permanent, not just a quick fix from starving . I've been working out 4-5 times each week and haven't gotten tired of it. I want to go farther, surpass my short term goal. Big changes ahead. I'm starting at my university in a week. I've gone from work study to a part time employee at my job. And I don't foresee me at my job for long, due to expecting classwork from taking 5 classes. And I'm totally excited because Thursday nigh

Well, it's been two weeks. Two weeks that I've been very strict about what I'm eating and working out. Last Monday, when I weighed myself, I'd lost 2 lbs. I'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I haven't had fast food in over two weeks! This is a big deal and big accomplishment. But you know what, I haven't been craving it. If I feel the need to stop and get food, I go to a sandwich shop, where I can get good, healthy, fresh ingrediants. I worked out 5 times last week and 4 times this week. I think I'll wait another 2 weeks until I measure myself again. My two friends haven't worked out or been restricting their eating. I told one that they need to start working out. Sure, without them participating, I'm in for an easy win. But I'd rather lose $100 (what we're all offering, at the end of the deal, as a prize) and have my friends lose weight with me. I'm just trying very hard to make sure I do the best that I can.
