Don't worry. I'm still alive. I have not fallen off the wagon. I haven't even been busy.... just decided to take a couple of days off from "cyber world" after the festivities of graduation.
I needed a couple of days off. Away from computers, technology, and everything else that reminded me of school. I just needed some time to myself. Two days was long enough - and so I'm back...and with a vengeance.
Things haven't been perfect this week... I have made my daily goals - and I've stuck to them. I haven't really done much exercise - but that all falls in to the whole "days off" thing. I needed to relax. Relaxing just frustrated me, so now I'm fully charged to get my summer started.... a summer of losing more weight and getting more fit.
I can't wait any longer to get to my weigh-in results... I'm so damn proud of myself.
Challenge Start Weight: 216lbs
Weight Last Week: 215.2lbs
Weight This Week: 211.2lbs
I'm down 4lbs this week!! That's 2.2% weight loss in three weeks. Hallelujah!! I'm still not down to my lowest weight of 210.8lbs... but I'm only 0.4lbs away....so I'll take it. Hopefully, but next week, I would of kicked through the 210lbs barrier....the barrier that I have been unable to break, thus far.
This week, the "Sisterhood Says" challenge is to look in the mirror every day and find one thing to compliment myself on. I say - BRING IT ON!! I've been gaining more and more confidence about myself....so this challenge comes at a perfect time.
Tomorrow, I'm going to start running again. Relaxing was OK - but I wanted to run. I want to be outside...and I needed to get the urge back again. Now it's back in full force - and I can't wait to get back on the track.
My goals for this week are to start running again, drink more water, and find a new work-out to do at home. I'm still working - I'm subbing now - so I'm going to be gone a few days a week...but there's no reason I can't be doing something while I'm at home and not able to get out to run.
Can you hear my spark? It's back. I feel it racing through my veins. I really think I needed to get graduation over with so that I could really put my mind back on focusing on me....and now it's happening.
OK, that's it for now. I will be posting daily again... I've missed my blog - and you all - so much. I'm so glad to be back!!
Till next time. ;)

Congratulations! Sounds like you're in a good place! I was running up to 10 miles this time last year, but I've been away from it for months. Time to get out my running shoes!

ReplyDeleteAwesome job, Joanna!! You have really done great during this challenge!! Keep up the great work!! Whoohhooo!!
ReplyDeleteHearing the spark loud and clear. Do you know, yours was the first blog I read when I was starting mine and what I read of yours went a long way to helping me stick at it for the first couple of weeks when I found it tough to get going. Back on the road and here's to you waving goodbye to 210lbs.
ReplyDeletecongrats! on the loss, but mostly on finding the spark again :)
