Thanksgiving

While I am grateful for the wonderful day I had with family and friends and hanging out, and especially food. I am not as grateful for my inability to have control! I also spent the weekend at the family cabin which didn't help because that's a total snack fest. So, alas, I have gained 2 pounds. No! haha. Oh well. I have a huge driveway to shovel and haven't hardly made a dent. So hopefully with some healthy eating after this weekend, a good shovel, and 30 day shred, I will be on my way back to where I was and beyond!

4 lbs in 10 days??

I don't know if I can lose 4 pounds in 10 days, especially with Thanksgiving.... But I would really love to be in the healthy range for my BMI so I am going to make it happen! 145 here we come!

BMI

Right now my BMI is 25.6 which is considered overweight for my height.

Weighing 145 lbs will take my BMI to 24.9 which is considered healthy. I definitely want to be there soon, before the end of the month!

Ultimate goal of 125 will make my BMI a healthy 21.5 I can't wait!


BMI Categories:

• Underweight = <18.5
• Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
• Overweight = 25–29.9
• Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

30 Day Shred-Day 17

Today was tough! I am sweating a lot!I think I'll stick to level 2 until day 20. I might as well since I only have a couple more days for it. In other news I did a measurement check today and I've lost 2 3/4 inches all around. Not as good as last time but with the bad weather I haven't been going out running/walking as much as I should...

P.S. I just updated my Friday weigh-ins and for the past 5 months I haven't lost a single pound and actually kept it off! That's gotta change!!

30 day shred- day 16

Today was good. Not too much to report. but I am half-way done woo hoo! I do like these workouts but it's getting a little boring. I might go to level 3 sooner than later and just push through that.

30 day shred-Day 15

Yay! I'm half way done! Today I felt so sore at the beginning of the workout and then I felt much better and much sweatier at the end. I am glad that I got the motivation to do it today. Doing this program or any other exercise program for that matter every other day isn't going to help with weight loss, just maintenance.

30 day shred-day 14

Oh, I wanted to just pass out during today's work out. It's been a crazy week with my dad in town and I've been devoting more time to family than to working out. Thus only day 14 but I'm still sticking with it. I'm almost halfway done!

I also did a weight check last Friday: 150 lbs. Lame. But I attribute it to my bad eating while with all my family and not exercising because of weather and family coming into town. I need to stay more motivated and be flexible!

30 Day shred-Day 13

Today was great. My arms are so sore and I sweat like crazy! It must've been that I was wearing yoga pants and it was like 72 degrees in my house. oh man! The long weekend off plus Halloween did me in! Luckily I didn't gourge like I did in years past and I don't feel too bad. I didn't do a weigh in on Friday though so we'll have to wait and see what the damage is this Friday :)
