100 mile challenge

Tonight I was able to successfully complete the 100 mile challenge!  I even had a day to spare :)   I officially logged 100.69 miles by either going on the treadmill, cybex, elliptical or the stationary bike.  It certainly wasn't an easy challenge and I nearly gave up but I pushed through and ignored that inner voice telling me to stop.    The last two miles were really hard, it felt like I was climbing mount Everest but isn't that what a challenge is all about?  

 

 In the future I am looking forward to pushing the limits and seeing what I am really capability of doing. 

 

 

Monthly Check in

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  August is coming to end so it is time to check in and tell you how much weight I have lost for the month.  I lost a total of 5.7 pounds.  I am super happy with this and I look forward to what next month will bring.  :)

Rock Climbing

I have been meaning to try rock climbing for a while now and I even added it to one my three month goals which is coming to an end soon.   I have been putting it off because I so petrified that I won't fit into the harness!   I have googled weight limits and I  seem to be okay in that department.  I am really worry about my hips not fitting.  I know I have conquered a lot in the last couple of years.  I can fit comfortable in an airplane and I don't have to squeeze myself into a movie chair anymore but what if the harness doesn't fit??  I can feel my face getting red of embarrassment as I write this!   But I think I am going to bite the bullet and call and get the information.  Worse comes to worse I might have to wait a couple more months.   Stay tuned.......  I hope I fit because I really want to try this.

Is there anything you have been meaning to try but your worried you weight will get in the way???

 

Weekly update

So far WW is going well it is making me very aware my portion control and tracking my food is now become second nature.  I feel a sense of accomplishment to be see my eating going in the right direction.   In the last couple of years I have noticed I am unable to have sweets in my home  for obvious reasons I will the eat the whole box of cookies in one sitting.   But the other day I bought a scoop of ice cream when I was running errand and I felt satisfied and didn't want anymore.   I think for me, it's better to buy single serving it may cost  more but in the long run my health is more important.  It is odd how things work  out sometimes?

I have decided instead of writing about my weight loss every week I am going to change it to monthly.  I will input the number in the "Weight Watchers Tab"  but I want to discuss more about the changes I notice about the food I eat, reaching all the goals I want to accomplish, exercise, etc.  I don't want to focus only on the number.  Don't get me wrong it's important but there are  so many other things that comes a long with weight loss and I feel writing about this will help me get to the weight I want. 

I am super excited to announce that in the last year I have worked out/exercised 124 times!!   I have been keeping track of my mileage, calories and time every single workout.    

Lastly an update on my 100 mile challenge for the month.  Currently I have done 42.46 miles in just exercise!  11 more days to go here I come :)
