Inga Project: Week 6

Well in the last couple weeks I have been continuing on with my diet and exercise regimen. I have been gradually working out more, and since I started Weight Watchers I started using a food journal and keeping track of my "points". Last week I had kind of a bad week and went over my points a couple days. Oops.

I have been getting frustrated lately because I have been on this diet since the end of march now, and I have only managed to really loose and keep off about 12 pounds. I missed my Weight Watchers meeting last week because I had a migraine, and when I went this week I was dreading getting on the scale. When I weighed myself at work earlier in the week I saw that I had found the 3 pounds that I had lost the week before. So I was certain that when I hit the scale I would see that after two weeks of work I had lost nothing. But much to my surprise I stepped up on the scale and saw that I had actually lost 4 pounds! So that gave me that extra boost that I needed to keep going.

I have my sister's wedding this weekend so there will be lots of temptation for me to just throw caution to the wind and binge. But I have my work out buddy at the wedding, and she will help keep me in line. So here is to hoping that next Tuesday I will see a loss on the scale.

Inga Project: Week 4

So its been about 4 weeks now since I had my big "aha" moment and decided it was time to finally get my ass up and moving. I have only managed to lose 12 pounds total, which people tell me is good, but I feel like after all the work I have put in over 4 weeks it should be closer to twenty. Oh well.

When I first started working out I was lucky if I could make it 25 minutes on the treadmill, and it was about all I could take to make it five minutes on the bike. Now I walk 2 miles in an hour on the treadmill, and I can go 5 miles in 22 minutes on the bike without getting too tired out. So I guess that's a good improvement. In the last week or so, I am really trying to focus more on getting myself more active. On some of my lunch breaks I go walking with one of the receptionist's at work. Of course I always say I am chasing her, because that bitch is like a size zero and she walks way faster than I do.

Tonight I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting with my friend, and now weight loss partner Lynn. The meeting seemed to go pretty well and I signed up for a month so we will have to stay tuned on that one. So for now I am hoping that I can at least loose a couple more pounds by next week.
