Day 46 (Week 6): 10 TO 30 POUNDS BY November OR BUST

Week 1 Cruise to Lose!

Good Morning!!! Smooth sailing to all! I hope this day finds all of you wonderful, health-minded, lovely FS peoples all well and working towards your fantastic healthy goals!!


So Wow I blew away my exercise goal last week. 347 minutes! My goal was only 145! I won't do as well this week. I will be out of town on a Business trip Thursday through Sunday. I will do what I can and keep a manual log I guess, while I am there. not sure how much access to computers I will have. So I will keep a goal of at least 150 minutes.

Old Man Scale was a wee bit more amiable this morning. Back down to 249. Only 1lb to get to a new low (as opposed to working over known territory :)) I will be weighting in through wed and possibly Thursday morning them my next weigh-in will be Monday the 20th.

I did strength training on the Wii last night after 30 minutes of seriously working on my balance and posture issues. The Wii says I only did 6 minutes of strength, but I know it was at least ten so I am recording it. I watched a demonstration on these single leg lift things and was doing them with the "trainer" over and over and over again. Little did I know I was still watching the end of the demo looped. I know how long the recorded 6 minutes took and, yeah, I did a LOT more than that but I didn't want to over estimate either. I figure 4 minutes makes me feel less "cheated" LOL Either way I win since it was GOOD for me, but the gamer in me needs the points I guess!

I wound up skipping lunch yesterday. Not the most brilliant of plans, it just happened that way. Had a late breakfast and an early dinner so I guess it worked out. I was doing a party yesterday and the hostess offered my all kinds of cookies and spice cake and I actually said "no thank you" politely and explained a little and they were all supportive it was great! Funny thing is normally that would probably irk me (you know wanting it but not allowing myself to have it), but I did not care. I did not even really WANT the stuff. It was amazing! My calories have been a little low the last few days but nothing extreme. And I KNOW they will be high this week-end so it is a good idea to keep them between 1200 and 1500, I think, until I leave.

Almost back to the pesky 18lb mark. I should have it and maybe lower before I leave for Texas.

Well off to another healthy day!! Have a GREAT one!


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 4 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, 14 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 (almost there!) then 240 then on down, down down!


Go Santa's Reindeer!!!!

Just do it! Autumn Blue Crocuses

Yay for passing up the sweets! Doesn't that feel great to be in control? Have a great day!

Make sure to say howdy to everyone you meet in Texas. Alright, maybe I'm the only person that still does that.

Yay on the exercise and everything else. I love the feeling of not really wanting a sweet as much as I commiserate with you on really wanting one and not allowing myself to have it. Calorie cycling keeps your body 'guessing' and maintains metabolism (if you are exercising, which you are, my goodness, you are!) Have a great time in Texas!

You're doing great. I really am inspired by you and others on here to consider getting a Wii Fit system. And with winter fast approaching, it would be a great addition to my exercise repetoire. Way to go resisting the goodies. Stay strong!

Congrats on blowing your goal out of the water!! I struggle with getting any kind of exercise in for the week...and that number is impressive! Keep up the great work, you are a definite inspiration!

Wow! You more than doubled your exercise goal! That's amazing! Great job, Sima. Keep on getting in that steady exercise...it'll equal out the days when you can't fit it into your schedule. All that metabolism will pull you through. Good job on eating intuitively! =)

It's wonderful that you said "no" the those goodies and really meant it! I think that proves how far you have already come. Good job getting that exercise in too, I still hate exercise but I manage to get it done. You're also right about even though you have some low calorie days, you can sort of "bank" them for the higher days you know are coming. It's called "zig-zagging" and a lot of people think it actually helps you lose weight better because your body doesn't get use to the same amount of calories per day, keep it guessing. Your really "on it" gal.

It seemed to work that way a couple weeks back when I had a few parties to go to. So I have my fingers crossed for the week-end. U am still going to try and be moderate but I also have little to no control so I am going relax a little and enjoy it, too. I know my tummy has a smaller capacity so that in itself should help.
