Hello! 

Well, my friends… it’s time for those updated stats again. 

I lost 13.5 lbs this past month!!!!!  Yay!  On top of that, I lost a whopping 24.5 inches all over my body!!!!!!! AWESOME! :-) 

I have gone down 1 pant size and most importantly, my body fat has gone down by 5.4% .  I’m am sooo exited and motivated to do so much more this upcoming month.  I honestly think that i’s the b-ball that is helping a lot.  It’s so much more funner than running and I burn up  alot more calories.

Since my last update (6/28/08) this is what has happend:

Inches Lost this past week: 10.25 inches
Weekly Fat Lost TOTAL: 7.6405 lbs
Weekly Lean Mass Gain TOTAL : 2.6405 lbs
Weekly TOTAL Scale Weight loss: 5 lbs

So…. that’s it!  

There are a few things that I would like to work on for this upcoming month of August.

• Eats, eats, eats! - I think these babies are the ones that are holding me back from reaching my FULL potential.  Especially those night time munchies.  I will be working on this extra hard this month.
• Weights - I need to bump up my weights from 1 day to 3 days.
• Sleep - aim for at least 6 hours every day.

That’s about it for now…

Peace,

Vilma

Well…. I’m BACK!!!!! :D  I thought I would start my weekly updates again because it was really helping me stay accountable before.  This past week has been amazing in so many ways!  I received Beach Body’s 10 minute trainer and have been using it off and on.  This program ROCKS!  It’s the exercise program answer that I have been looking for to fit into my busy life.  On top of this I have also been walking, running and playing basketball.  I’m also taking baby steps to change the eating habits… I want this transformation to be for life, not temporary…..

Here are my stats for the week:

Inches Lost this past week: 14 inches

Weekly Fat Lost TOTAL: 9.356 lbs
Weekly Lean Mass Gain TOTAL : .856 lbs
Weekly TOTAL Scale Weight loss: 8.5 lbs

So…. that’s it!  I hope everyone is had a very productive and blessed week!  Off to attack my to-do list for today.

Peace,

Vilma

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 %
