Oh YEAH! Today is the final weigh-in for the STEPtember challenge over on the Walk at Home boards... I've been counting miles since the beginning of September. EDIT: I think the final weigh-in may be on Tuesday... but anyway its been four weeks since it started, lol.
First half: 56 miles
Second half: 71 miles (if you count today, 73!)
And the total, 127 (with today 129!) big, sweaty miles...
Since I'm participating in the weight challenge along with the mileage challenge, I weighed in this morning on a very empty stomach. I'm a flat 139.0, baby!!!!! I hope this past week was the last time for a long time that I will see the 140's!!!
This means that since the beginning of September I have lost 4.8 lbs. and THAT IS AWESOME.
Since I started back on the workout wagon on August 15, I have lost 9 lbs, and that is HALF WAY to my goal of 18 lbs. That means there are 9 lbs left to lose before December 1! CAN I DO IT?
YES, I CAN!!!!
It is so fantastic to notice the changes in my body as a result of this hard work, not just the fact that I am starting to see ACTUAL definition in my abs, but the fact that I feel better, sleep better, get less stressed and depressed, and have a lot less risk of getting tons of diseases. I feel strong and happy and I thank the Lord! He has been there every step of the way and I pray He continues to bless my efforts to get healthy and fit for life and for Him.
Review of Yesterday: it was good. I got up and worked my butt off as usual. Food portions were great. Still need to work on getting more veggies in.
Today's Workouts: Jillian Michaels' 25 minute Cardio Kickbox, it is UNBELIEVABLE how much you can sweat in 25 minutes and how hard you can work!! This is my "break": I don't work out as long, but I still work hard!
Breakfast: 1 banana before workout, 1 Omega 3 Bagel (8g of fiber!!) with chive and onion cream cheese
Lunch: 1 cheeseburger on a 100% whole wheat bun, low fat mayo, ketchup, sliced onion and dill pickle, 1.5 cups romaine lettuce with low cal Italian dressing.
Dinner: 1 serving (1.5 cups) of my very own homemade food: Penne Spinach & Tomato bake. SO YUMMY. I got the recipe from my Cooking Light cookbook. Also, another salad with low-cal Italian and 1 slice garlic bread, which could have been left out but hey, its Sunday, and I'm allowed a little slack, right? Because it's back to business tomorrow!! 9 lbs to go...
Dessert/snacks: one small piece of a dark, DARK chocolate candy bar. it was so bitter and I actually liked it lol
Water: doing well today!
Daily Vitamins: check
Nightly Vitamins: check
