Week 25 Update: August 23, 2011

Is it just me...or does it seem like my weight loss has picked up momentum in the last few weeks...  Holy Cow, I can't believe I'm down another 5 pounds this week.

I met with my health coach yesterday and she mentioned that I needed to start to work on my strength training more and try to ramp up calorie intake to slow down weight loss as I get close to my goal weight.

Next week it's 100 pounds down +!!

Can't wait to share the news with the world then!

Week 24: August 16 Update

I haven't wrote for the last couple of weeks - I had a pretty exciting week last week hitting the 90 pound milestone.  This week was equally as exciting; however, as I inch closer to the 100 pound mega milestone.  I was thinking and calculating a bit - I determined that if I lose 3 pounds for the next 2 weeks I will hit 100 pounds by September 1 - which is exactly 6 months into my journey...how cool is that?

I also was selected by my company for a scholarship to OptumHealth Performance, which is a high-end training program for athletes - and those who want to get a 'kick-in the pants' for their fitness/exercise goals...  I'm always up for that - I am pumped!

Just remember, I'm not doing anything fancy or unique, I'm just counting my calories and hitting the gym regularly - and enjoying the journey...  YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

Week 22: August 2nd Update

I must say that this week was a complete surprise.  The fact that I lost another 4 pounds this week, especially after having less than perfect eating habits over the weekend was a shocker.  I know I've been hungrier lately, which must mean my metabolism has sped up, but whoa.  It seems though that not everyone is as excited for me anymore...which kinda wears on the emotions a bit.  It makes it harder to try to lose weight when people act like they don't care.  But...I must press on, I've got a goal to hit after all. 

This week I lost 4 pounds, Total lost to date - 89 pounds.  Total weight 212 pounds.

Heading to the lake this afternoon - should be a good time!
