Grade Time

Well, I have failed. Tomorrow marks the 6th 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 university. With five classes, I've been loaded with reading and homework all in the first day. It will be a busy semester, but I'm striving for the best.

Two weeks in...

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.

Finally

So I finally worked out today. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill, reaching just under 2 miles. Obviously, a lot of work needs to be done to get miles down to a better time, but I'm not trying to win a race here. I have meals planned out for the week, as to stop any ideas of grabbing Chick fil A for lunch or pizza for dinner. Besides those types of meals here and there, I already eat pretty healthy. No soda or coffee, eat brown rice, whole wheat/grains everything, low fat/no fat options, fruits and veggies, drink plenty of water and unsweet tea from the pot... Really, it just comes down to me sticking with a workout plan and forgetting those last minute, bad for you meals. I plan on blogging about more than just weight loss, but I guess I'll get to that later. :)

Thes 5:16

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 I heard this on The Amazing Race tonight and had to share. It's a beautiful saying and I'll try hard to remember it. 'be glad, pray and give thanks!'
