Spring Into Action Weight Loss Challenge

renewedhope · March 29, 2008

Wanna, Ok I feel so bad. I don't deserve your comments.. I decided to have a night off and watch cartoons and eat junk with my oldest son. We are eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's Ice cream as I type this. I only bought a pint, because this is a planned splurge, but if I bought a half gallon then I would eat at it all week. So, I am back on plan tommorow as well. I didn't get to go to the gym today. 2 of my kids have the flu.

OK, today I worked out with my trainer for 1 hour and then did the first day of the couch to 5k(except I accidently started on week 2). Here is the link to the couch to 5k if anyone is interested. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/couch-5k-come-join-me-56878/

How is everyone doing???

Well Renewed, I haven't been doing so well. I've been on vacation for the past week and I've gained 2 lbs. I was actually expecting it to be more. I have lost my restriction. I thought I was at my sweet spot from the last fill and now I hardly have any. My next appt isn't until April 24th, grrrr! I really need a fill. The good news is, I have almost saved up enough money to join the YMCA. When my hubby gets paid on Friday, I am going to go join. I'm excited about that! Maybe I will have a better update next time, lol!

You should be very proud of only a 2 pound weight gain on vacation. Don't be hard on yourself!! Cool on the YMCA. You will really enjoy that!! My cousin is a personal trainer, so I get a REALLY good deal on training. I just started this week.

Hey ladies. I haven't been doing to well either. I found out 2 things:

that I am severely deficient in D, B1, B6, B12, and Iron. Pretty much my body was malnourished and freaking out. I was pale, weak, having weird pains, severe fatigue, brittle hair and dry, dry ,dry skin. I'm now taking so many pills its crazy, but I do feel better.

And that my home scale is 3.5lbs off. So I actually weight almost 4lbs more than I thought. But I I round down:tongue:.

To be honest this all threw me for a loop. So much so, I ate my way through my recovery week. BUT, Last week I returned to my exercise and better eating. I did so well I lost 10lbs! 6 of which, I gained in a week! I guess I needed those Vitamins. I'm starting to think these deficiencies were what was slowing my weight loss.

Sorry for the long story

Anywho....I am adjusting my stats for my actual weight. All in all I am down 4lbs!

I'm bored with my workout routine. I know I need to shake it up. I'm thinking about joining a gym instead of using the one at work. That way I can do spinning and kickboxing classes. I have access to fantastic cardio/machines/free weights at work, but no classes. I've been doing the work gym regularly since October of 06.

Anyway, that's where my thougths are at the moment.
