Week 29 food cravings

Last week I made a big batch of turkey chili for the week, this week I went back to the soup.....I made home made chicken soup, but added beans, escerole, and cabbage, chopped tomatoes...By mistake I made it with regular chicken broth instead of the low sodium fat free...I added a lot of water to dilute the sodium. It came out ok. Had salmon and soup for sunday night dinner. Monday night I was hungry after class, I had some soup but I got weak....I gave in to the urge and had 2 tablespoons of cookie dough in front of the tv.....then had like 5 potato chips...what was I thinking.

Tues. Oct 12 Lower body. Tough work out with the new routine

Wed. Oct 13 Cardio...Jon is sick, stood back while I did work out only coming close last few seconds of every minute to change speed...he kicked it up a knotch nad I ended up beating my time...up to 1.28 now in 20 minutes (I remember having anxiety attacks at 1.11)...now I have no fears....which is great

Thurs. Oct 14 New upper body workout, tough......real tough, I can feel it in my arms even as I type today, hurts to dry my hair haha...all good kind of pain. Worked out my schedule for next week since I will be gone thurs and fri, then on vacation at home.

Fri Oct 15th Cardio. Lost 2 pounds happy I lost the pound I gained and lost another pound. Jon distracted me while working out, but knew he was really pushing me cause I got a cramp. Ended up really pushing me and my final distance was 1.30 yeah.....and with no complaints! :)

Week 28 Good Week



I am happy with the transformation. My body really is changing and I can see it. I went thru all my big clothes and got rid of them all.....going to get some favorites taken in and I will never be this size again. I have no idea how many inches I have lost...I know a lot.....I never felt so good in my life......But.....I will never go out on a Thursday night again, like I did this week, especially when there is free food and wine.....I have no self control.

Tues. Oct. 5 we had our last upper body workout....i will be happy for something new. Switch things up a bit.

Wed. Oct. 6 Cardio. Good cardio...so glad anxiety is gone...knock on wood.

Thurs Oct 7 Lower body......this lower body is tough, but good. Went to even at night....never again. Thus is my lightest eating night.

Fri Oct. 8 Cardio. Jon kicked it up a knotch, not my distance up...so happy...kickin butt. Gained a pound. Machine said it was 1.5 pds of muscle......next week will be better.

Fri Oct 1, weight in..Lost 6.5 pounds. I got in the Gym, Robin was still there, i went straight to the scale. I told her to stay cause I couldn't believe the scale myself, told her she will be here when i break 50 pd mark.....Jon made me get on and off the scale 4 times...we couldn't believe the numbers. I lost 6.5 pounds, bringing me to 53 pounds total....YEAH. I was so happy, cardio seemed a breeze as all I kept thinking about was my wight loss.

To date 34 pounds of the 53 is pure Fat, that like 2/3 of my loss so that is good. I feel unstoppable!
