BL2: Week 2 Weigh In

Weigh in time again! Yay!:) I got a little off track this time because I weighed in last Sunday, but then I wasn't coming back to work till Wednesday, so it was like a week and 3 days between weigh ins... not that it helped me really! lol:)

First, I want to talk about the picture to the right. It's a screen shot of the app "Runkeeper." I love it! Basically, you pick if you want to do walking, running, hiking, swimming, etc. and it tracks (by GPS) where you go, your distance, pace, elevation and how many calories you burn. It's awesome!!

After you finish an activity, it gives you a summary and then you can look at the map of your route! Pretty cool!:) You can also sync it to Facebook ,so that your activities post automatically:)

I've been using this every time I go walking or running now. I still use MFP, but I just create a new workout and name it "Walk with Runkeeper" and use the calories burned from that. I figure it's more accurate since it knows my exact speed and elevation and what not. Anyways, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good app to track their exercise. It's free too!:)

Alright, so I weighed in on Wednesday, April 27th....

Previous Weight - 195.6

Current Weight - 193.4

Weight lost - 2.2 pounds.

Overall weight lost - 38 pounds!

Woo woo! Really close to 40! I'm hoping to hit 40 pounds by my next weigh in. That means a new Heart Rate Monitor for me!!! Yay!:)

People have been asking me lately "What's your goal weight?" Well, for now I'm saying 160. But I really don't know! The smallest I ever was, besides being like 8 years old, was 180 pounds, when I was working at UPS. At that time, I was wearing size 12 jeans, medium shirts and I had made a new hole in my belt because it was too big! Now I'm in size 16/14 jeans, large/medium shirts, and ONE hole away from my homemade belt hole!! So for now, 160 pounds seems like it would be a good size for me!

I don't want to be stick thin or anything. I just wanted to be healthy and be able to shop at normal stores. I wouldn't mind having some abs too! If I could ever wear a bikini, that would be a dream come true! I'll have to see how I'm feeling when I get closer to 160. That's still 30 pounds away!

So, I just want to get it off my chest... Yesterday, I splurged and ate Chinese food! I went over my calorie limit by 590!!!! But, I felt so guilty that I took Chief for a 5.25 mile walk! THEN, when I got home from the walk, I did Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred, level 2!!! I literally was SOAKED in sweat!! I mean, it looked like someone had poured a bucket of water on me!! I just had to stand there and dry before I even tried to sit down and catch my breath, LOL!! After that, I felt much better!!:)

Anyways, hopefully I do pretty good this week. I only have 2 more days of C25k left!! Can't believe it! Time to sign up for a 5k soon, who's with me?!:-D

Goodnight peeps!
