Week 2 Weigh In

Sorry that picture is kind of blurry, just wanted to show my kind-of-getting-there-abs! lol:) Still got a long ways to go, but hopefully one day I will have an awesome stomach that I LOVE to show off!!:)

So I think this has been a pretty decent week, besides splurging a little/not exercising on the weekend. But Sunday I did B210k, Monday I did "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism," Tuesday I did the Shred level 2, Wednesday I ran/walked in the morning, then did B210k at night! And today, I just did some crunches and push ups because I really don't work out on my weigh in days. Don't want my muscles to retain fluids:)

Let me tell you what happened to me Wednesday night! I decided to do B210k, which by the way, I'm not sure if I've mentioned that yet? B210k stands for "Bridge to 10k" and it's the new program I'm doing, which basically picks up where Couch to 5k left off!:)

So far I really like it!! The first week was...

5 minute warm up walk
Run 10 minutes
Walk 1 minute
Run 10 minutes
Walk 1 minute
Run 10 minutes
Walk 1 minute
Run 10 minutes
5 minute cool down walk


My sweaty arm after B210K lol <3 it!

So even though you only get 1 minute walking breaks, every time you start a new 10 minute run, it feels like "Cool, only 10 minutes!" lol:)

Now I'm on week 2 and it's...

5 minute walk
Run 15 minutes
Walk 1 minute
Run 15 minutes
Walk 1 minute
Run 15 minutes
5 minute cool down walk

It was a little bit harder, but I like that there's only 3 intervals, instead of 4. Oh, but back to Wednesday night! I started B210k, week 2, day 2. I decided to do it on the treadmill because a) it was 9:30pm and b) it was still hot as heck outside!

I finished the first 15 minute run and felt pretty good. I was 2 minutes into the second 15 minute run when my treadmill started acting a little weird. It felt like it was vibrating a lot and going a little slower. I kept running but eventually every step I took was sticking! Then every step made it squeak really loud and pretty much just stop! So I turned it off! I was so mad!!

Since I really wanted to finish that run, I decided to just do it outside! Even though it was dark, hot and humid, I still did it anyways! And actually, once I started running outside, I felt like I was gliding! I could tell I was going way faster than when I was on the treadmill too!

It was definitely hot, but this was one of the best runs I've had! I finished up that second 15 minute run and instead of stopping for the 1 minute walk, I ran through it! That's how good I was feeling!:) The rest of the run went by so much faster outside, then it did on the treadmill. I officially prefer outdoor running!!:)

Anyways, here's my weigh in!! (7/21)

Previous Weight - 175.0

Current Weight - 173.6

Weight Lost - 1.4 Pounds

Total Weight Lost - 57.8 Pounds!

Yes!:) It's coming off! Slowly, but surely. I know it was bound to happen... my losses getting smaller and smaller. But as long as I keep losing something, I'll be happy! I just miss my old 4 pound losses!:)

I'm determined to make this an awesome week! Gonna try my best to get in some really good work outs, at least on the days I'm off. I do exercise on days that I work, just not as much! And I'm gonna try to eat really good. Especially since I just went to Trader Joe's and got lots of healthy food!!:)

Just wanted to show you a picture of our new sheets, comforters, duvets, pillows, and pillow cases!:) BRAND NEW EVERYTHING!:) Love it... and it's so comfy!!:)

Well, I guess that's all for now. Back to work stuff. Thanks for reading and I will update again.... Friday I believe!:)

Have a great day! Stay hydrated;)
