Moving slow...

Well, the last couple weeks have been really hard. A combination of stress & loss of motivation has really taken a toll on my body. We are trying to buy a house and it's not going well, due to the bank being a pain, along with the seller's realtor. So I've been eating really bad and not sleeping much at night, which has been hurting me too. Last week I showed a 4.3 gain from the previous week. That was SUPER frustrating. I also stopped getting on the scale, because I was told it might help. Well, for me, it doesn't help not seeing it everyday. So I started getting on the scale again, and I lost 3 pounds this week. I'm still up 1.3 from my lowest, but that's OK. I'll get there sooner or later. I am frustrated, however, that we are leaving for Hawaii in 2 weeks and I'm nowhere near where I wanted to be. So, I'm sorry to the people in Hawaii, they're just gonna have to see this body a little fluffier than planned! So, I just keep on trying.

I did miss 5 days of working out this week, but got back on it today. I did try running one day last week too. I went to the middle school track and decided to alternate. I started off walking the first lap, ran a lap, walked a lap, etc until I had completed 2 miles. I'm going to start the Couch 2 5K program when we get back from Hawaii. I'm determined to run a race within the next year!

Let's hope I can lose at least 6 more pounds before Hawaii. At least that'll get me in the 180's and I'll hit my 10% goal! My goal this week is to lose 3.3 pounds, because that'll be my 10%. Wish me luck!

Overweight!!! No longer obese!

Well, I was so swept up in my scale number, that I never thought to check my BMI. I am no longer in the obese category!!! I am officially in the overweight category! It's been a long time, so I'm really excited about that. I was pretty upset this morning when I got on the scale & found I only had a .3 loss. I have worked really hard this week on my eating, even being good over 4th of July. I'm finally walking outside in the evenings, on top of my morning workouts. I'm not sure why my weight isn't moving, but I guess I should be happy with the BMI. My jeans are a hair looser too. Not much, but a little. Guess I'll keep trying this week & see what happens.
