And… I hope John doesn’t mind, but i’m gonna borrow this ideas from him because I think it’s GREAT!

Things I did GREAT this week:

• I lifted weights 3 times
• I tracked my food on sparkpeople
• I ate pretty clean all week

Things I did not so GREAT this week:

• I didn’t do scheduled cardio
• I ate pretty bad on the “weak”end

These past two days i’ve been struggling with FTG (fat girl thinking) a lot.  I think the scale weight had  alot to do with it - and I let it get to me.  I have to constantly be reminding myself that it’s just a number on the scale and that I still lost fat and inches…  My goal was to be under 200 lbs by Feb - but it looks like that won’t happen for another 2 weeks or so I hope… we’ll see & i’ll keep ya’ll updated.

The scale moved this week, so I am happy.  I think I could of managed more weight loss but my eating habits were not that good & my exercise again was non-existent.  My husband had an interesting observation this past week… he said,

Vilma, you are NOT going to do good - your heart is not in it.”

He was right.  I really don’t know why though, I mean - I know my stuff, I know WHY I have to get fit & healthy but my actions are not showing that.  I have & feel this need to eat junk food… it’s like I crave it now and it SCARES me. 

On a good note… I’ve been cutting down on my late night eats which is goal #1 that I am trying to focus on right now. I also managed to get to bed at about 1045 pm last night & I probably fell a sleep around 11 pm.  That is a good 3 hour improvement!  I was nice and fresh as a daisy this morning when I woke up at 5 AM to do a short cardio session before getting ready for work … so, I’m feeling really accomplished! :D  I will be hitting the gym with hubby later on in the evening to complete my day #1 challenge workout.

Anyhow, here are the weekly updates for my Friendly Fitness Wager:

Week #1 -Weight Loss this week: .5 lbs

Week #1 - Body Fat Loss this week: .8 %

So we have arrived to the 2nd week of the year and I must admit that I have have not been 100% committed to my goals yet.  On a positive note, I lost 3.5 lbs which puts me at 210.5 lbs to start off my little friendly fitness wager (FFW) & the Phit-n-Phat 12 week blast the fat challenge that will be starting next week.  That’s it.  I was thinking about also doing the Turbulence Training & the Youtube video contest, but I decided against it because it was just gonna be too much to do & I would probably be setting myself  up for failure.  

So… to start off, here are my starting stats for the 2008 year & starting stats for the FFW & PNP Challenge:

Ah… what a WONDERFUL thing to have a day off!

I stepped on the scale this morning and I saw a whopping 194.5 lbs. :O Yikes! 1 or 2 lbs of that is probably water weight but the rest I have gained in a period of 3 weeks of no activity and mindless, crazy & out of control eating. TOTM is right around the corner, so that might be a factor as well. My goal for this week is to make at least 80% compliance in the eating department…. I will be working up to 90% within the next 2 weeks or so.

Here are my updates for today:

• 6 hours of sleep
• Exercise for the day:
  • Total Body - Upper Dominant (40 mins);
    • TOTAL minutes: 53 mins
    • TOTAL calories burned: 619 cals
  • Couch to 5K running: Week 1, Workout 1 (20 mins)
    • TOTAL minutes: 20 mins
    • TOTAL calories burned:300 cals
• Water (aiming for ATLEAST 128 oz.)- done! 
• EATS: You can check out my Food Log HERE:
  • B - Spicy Spinach Omelett
  • S - EAS Advantage Carb Control, 1/2 Avocado
  • L - Sundried Tomato Chicken Burger w/ Spinach Salad
  • Post Workout - BCAA/Glutamine/PP Cocktail
  • D - 4 oz Salmon, Gazpacho Salad & Garbanzo Beans
