Fifteen down!!!!

Alright, I'm super excited. Today, I am officially 15 pounds down from the weight I started at when Martee and I started working out at school. That's about . . . fifteen pounds in six months (and I haven't gained anything back!). I'm stoked. I've reached my first fitness goal which was fifteen pounds (1/3 of what I want to lose total, YAY!!) and I'm really excited.

Now, my next goal is to lose and keep off at least another fifteen before I leave the college program. That would put me back at the weight I was when I started college which will be SO good. I haven't been that size since 2004 and I would really love to hit that in the next few months.

I am recommitting myself to eating right AND working out (I've really only been kind of eating right and working out). Today I did my cardio on the treadmill and ran at 5 mph for my highs which is really good for me and I also did my lower body workout. I'm working an 8 hour shift tonight and will probably be pretty darn tired tonight but I have tomorrow off so I can rest up a bit then.

My little goals for this week are:

1 - No more bad food in the cafeteria at work
2 - Make sure I'm drinking enough water
3 - No drinking (on non-cheat days)

My long term goals for the remainder of the program are:

1 - Eat and exercise according to the plan
2 - Lose another 15 pounds (or 1-2 sizes)
3 - Make it to 5.5 mph on the treadmill for at least 2 minutes by January
4 - Keep the Moose's wedding in mind as a motivator


I've already come so far (fifteen pounds is A LOT!!) and I really want to keep making such amazing progress. So, I'm going to do it!! This is the last week of the 12 Weeks so I am going to make it count and turn in my essay and my before and after pics to Body For Life. Even though I've only lost 7 pounds on this program, I'm going to start another one right after this one and keep losing.

Yay for 15 pounds down!!!!
