Day 44 (Week 6): 10 TO 30 POUNDS BY November OR BUST

GOOOOOOOOD MOOOORNING, Everyone! Wishing all of you wonderful, health-minded, lovely FS peoples an absolutely wonderful day!!!

So I am entering a journal because it is a good habit even though I am not recording a weight today. I was only .5 up so not worried but meh I don't REALLY need to weigh in every day so we might try weaning me off Old Man Scales Charms slowly ;)

I did a 20 minute (appx 1 mile) walk at lunch yesterday as well as 20 minutes of balance games on the Wii Fit Last night. The blasted machine thinks my balance is REALLY off so I have been actively working on that and I will tell you even though it is only a week I noticed better balance in yoga too. I had not mentioned yesterday because the bit about reaching my ankles and around my thighs was more exciting at the time :) (oh gawd here we go again with the comments!)

Today I have Silpada party at my house at 3:00 with a Halloween theme so I have been decorating and baking healthy treats today. Still have more to do after I jump off here.

Tonight after my guests leave I think I will do some aerobic work and yoga as well as balance on the Wii. I SHOULD do strength training too...I am a little intimidated by those silly push-ups/side planks. I was able to do all the rest so I need to stop avoiding that section!!

Wow I was just realizing that it has been over a month and a half since I joined FS and exactly two since I started and I have lost 18lbs!!! That SO rocks! I can stay healthy and almost keep up that pace to be in the 2lbs/wk range!

I was not bouncing before but now I am!! Hehe

Where's that rum punch AmryK? 'Tis time to toast the beginning of the cruise!




Floor Goal: 250 Done, D-done, Done, Done!!! 13lbs down from the beginning of the challenge, 17 down from when I first started watching in August.

Mid-range: 245 Turkey Day I am coming for you! 18 from beginning of the challenge. 21.5 from when I first started and 3.5, 3.5!!! from now. Goal date Nov. 1st (or sooner, if I want to make the ceiling goal too!)
Ceiling goal: 235 by the 30th of November. If my averages keep up, this should be no problem. It is a bit of a stretch, but that is what a ceiling goal is all about. :) 28 from challenge start, 15 from now and 31.5 from when I first started watching. (I can feel this with my finger tips if I just r...e...a...c...h!)
Christmas Challenge Goal:230 by December 25th!! 36.5 from when I first started watching. (I have got a plan for the holidays! For once in my life I will NOT gain wait, I will LOSE!!!)

1st things first 245 (can almost taste it!) then 240 then on down, down down!


Go Santa's Reindeer!!!!

Just do it! Autumn Blue Crocuses
Rock the Boat Blue Water Wanderers!

Yay on all of your accomplishments since joining FS - that is something! Sounds like you have had some fun along the way too. Yay!

So glad that you've stuck with it, and so proud of your accomplishments! You should be proud of yourself and it sound like you are! Hope you had a great time at your party!

sounds like the wii is really helpin...you kno the side planks, pushups are to strengthen your core...and doing core exercises helps your back, and also its a way of doing all the muscles in one exercise...being able to reach your ankles is a great accomplishment, as i kno from my losses...any accomplishment that you notice you can do from before you lost weight makes you feel so great...keep up the great workouts!!!!

Are you following a certain fitness program on the Wii? I'd kinda like to know where to get started...I want a fitness routine for when mine gets here.

No not really, Reina. LOL I am still kinda just playing and learning. I do balance EVERAY day though because according to it my balance is way off sdo I need to work on posture and balance. Now that the gym membership is gone I am going to try and do Cardio at least 3x a week and probably do strength at least 2x a week. I did Yoga on the Wii for the first time last night and I actually DID like it :) It was easier for me in some aspects because the breathing is so natural to me now and the poses were not alien :). It does have a place to show you how to breathe but I skipped that one ;) I also have a habit of REALLY wanting to BEAT some of the games so I often go longer than the minimum time I have set myself.
