Weight Update

So I am back on 12WBT.

I lost a bit of weight in the last month of the last round, now I just want to keep consistently going down. I figure the longer I eat well and exercise leading up to the wedding, the less I will have to stress about my body the weeks before it. This is a lot easier to do when you have a flawless plan given to you.

So far so good, my stats look like this after two weeks....

Weight Loss -2.1          % Weight Loss - 3.0

There is also a chance this week to win a set of scales by posting your inspiration board. Here is mine....

Last night I attempted the 20minute non-stop run again on C25K. For many of you this may not seem like a long time, but I have never been a runner. Sprinting yes, endurance HELLS NO! I had done the 20 minute run in the past, but last night I wanted to see if I could still do it and do it I did!!!! 20mins non-stop running!! I was fist pumping and high fiving A like I just won an Olympic gold medal lol.

 With that out of the way I can continue on with C25K in the 7th week.. almost finished.

What inspires you to keep working out and eating right???

Gettin' my Body Back!

The second thing for me to do in 2012 is to get my body back!! I have lost the weight before so I know what works and I know how to do it, the problem is just making myself do that and to not get fooled into thinking that I still look how I use to (harsh but true).

In the spirit of gettin' my body back, I went for a run on Monday and hit the gym last night. I have also been making sure that I am eating the right stuff. I will share the recipes I whipped up last night in a following post.

Another thing I have decided to do is to say NO to soft drink!! I love a good glass of coke or Pepsi, but I know the damage it is doing. Leading up to our engagement party, I banned myself from soft drink for two weeks and it did wonders. If I give it up completely like that again I will never make it, so I will make soft drinks a weekend drink, except for the occasional V needed to get me through the working week ;) I think cutting out the sugary drinks will also lead to more water drinking, which I am horrible at.

I have also joined the 1 million kilo challenge, after reading about it on Running in Cute Heels. It seems like a free alternative to the 12wbt program, which I loved so I am super keen to begin. It provides you with exercise and eating programs.

I will be posting about my progress.
