Fitness Update FINALLY

So it's been 3 weeks without an update. Oops. Good news and bad news this time around. The bad news is that I did not lose any weight the last three weeks. :( The good news is that I did not gain any weight either. Woohoo!

I have also discovered that I despise 6:30am. Really, truly, despise it. I've been quite hit and miss with my goal to get up early. {More miss than hit, probably} I'll keep trying though.

I am going to try to do better in the weeks to come and get back in the losing phase.

So to recap...

Weight Change this week: 0 lbs
Total Weight Change: -14.3

Weekly Update the Third

Wow, I can't believe three weeks have already gone by. It seems so fast and yet so slow all at the same time.
I have one new goal for this week, get up at 6:30am every week day. I've given Ryan permission to wake me up using any means necessary. (I'm famous for asking him to wake me up and then making him go away again. Poor guy) This morning went pretty smoothly, so I have confidence I can do it.

Despite the mid-week setback(Pizza=cheesy deliciousness), I posted a fair week.
Here are the numbers:

Weight Change this week: -3 lbs
Total Weight Change: -14.3

Weekly Update 2

Week two has been great. I successfully navigated a family gathering and a recipe exchange without totally derailing, so I'm pretty happy with that. I'm finding myself getting impatient at not being able to physically see the results yet, so I am trying to stay focused on how much better I feel.

I love that everyone is throwing their fitness tips my way. I've taken my measurements so I can also track inches lost. {Thanks Amanda} I'll be excited to see how that one goes. Losing inches is where smaller clothes come in, so I'm excited.

I've decided to take a straight on and profile shot once a month so that I have a visual diary of my progress. {Thanks, Missy}

Lastly, my mini-goal for the week is to drink half my body weight in ounces of water. {Thanks Misty} The trick is going to be not to chug large quantities at once. That apparently slows your metabolism. (Mind you I learned this five minutes after drinking a very large glass of water) That is no bueno.

Let's get down to it!

Weight Change this week: -6.3
Total Weight Change: -11.3

Weekly Update 1

Today is day seven of my Get Fit challenge. I decided to do a weekly update on how things are going. I've lost about 5 lbs this last week. It may be slightly more as we've had some scale issues around here and the scale I was using every day is not working anymore. Good thing we have another, plus the Wii Fit which also weighs you.
I'm doing really well on all of the goals I set for myself. Areas to improve on would be my journaling, and last night I didn't do all of the dishes.

The best part is how good I feel. Cutting out soda and exercising has made such a difference in how I feel. I feel like a new person, I just have to be patient until I look like a new person too. It's funny to talk about how good I am feeling, because I am pretty sore from using muscles that I forgot I had.

I inadvertently bought a Goal shirt for myself. It looked like it would fit at the store, but it's just a smidge too tight in certain areas. So it looks like I have my first small reward for myself, when it fits. I think I'll try it on every Wednesday to see my progress over time. I'll bet that realistically it won't fit for about 6 weeks, since that is how long it takes for your body to start changing shape.

Oh and thanks to Danya, I've been drinking 16 ounces of water as soon as I get up in the morning. I don't know for sure that it works, but it sure makes your tummy grumble. I think that is a good sign.

Weight Change this week: -5
