Check-In Wednesday

It’s time to get Down and Dirty with my sisters….time for the first weigh-in!
shrinking Beauties….formerly known as Team B….let’s kick some boo-tay!

This week’s change: -1.4 lbs

Challenge total: -1.4 lbs

Woohoo! Good to see a loss again after a few weeks of slowly creeping up. I started week 5 of C25K on Monday and if the rain holds off tonight, I will continue onto Day 2….which contains an 8 minute running interval!  Eeek!  I started tracking my foods again and have been holding around 1200-1500 calories depending if I run or not.  This Friday and Saturday will be my first obstacle of the challenge, we have physical inventory at work so I will be working 15 hr days with little breaks.  There are always lots of temptations around like candy and pizza, so I just have to be prepared and bring some good snacks to grab if I feel snacky.  I can do it, not worth splurging on work.

How was your week…were you accountable?

Let the Challenge Begin!

It’s time for the new challenge over at Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. Are you on a team?

I couldn’t be more then ready for this challenge to begin.  I’ve slipped a little the past week or two with my tracking of food, seen a few lbs come back since my Birthday and am ready to get back to focusing on losing weight. I’ve been really good about sticking with my exercising, and am reluctantly starting C25K week 5 tonight (which includes 8 straight minutes of running people…twice.  This makes me almost poo my pants just thinking about it. Really.)

I am on Team B (which will be named something much cooler then B soon) along with Alicia, Lizzie, Lynsey, Nora and Kristin. Let’s go ladies….time to get down & dirty on losing weight!

My goals for this challenge, which lasts the whole month of August, are:

• Lose 5 lbs, anything else is just icing on the cake (ummmm…icing, sorry got distracted)
• Continue on C25K, and hopefully will be running at least 1 mile straight by the end of the month.  (currently I am doing about 1/3 -1/2 of a mile, so I’ve got a ways to go)
• Shred at least 2 mornings a week in conjunction with my running.  (my fluff needs toned)

So it’s gonna be a fun month, I will be hanging out with Bari & Brooke later this month and hopefully the nasty 100+ degree days with the heat index are over.   Let’s make it a great month ladies!
