2012 Losing It ~ Week 4

Yah! I had a loss this week! Yippee! I am happy with the loss based on my calories and activity this week! I am hoping for a larger loss this next week as I ramp up my activity level with this contest I am doing.  I am still struggling with calories and being hungry a lot so I am planning for more veggies this week to fill up my stomach. I think I have typically associated that stuffed, heavy feeling in the stomach with being “full” and when I don’t feel that way I want to eat more.

Starting Weight for 2012: 264.2 lbs.
Previous Week: 261.2 lbs.
Current Week: 259.8 lbs.
Loss:  -1.4 lb.
Total 2012 Loss: -4.4 lbs.

 

How are you doing this week?

Contest

I had to take some before picture for a contest I am participating in, so I thought I would share them with you too. The contest is 12 weeks long and I am going to try to stay focused! :) I have a food plan, I have a workout plan… now I just have to put in the time! Anyone want to join in?

Thirty

Friday was my 30th birthday! It was a crazy day with unplanned emergencies… but it was still fun. I have always loved my birthday, its an excuse to celebrate, talk to my family and friends and have a good time. I always look forward to my birthday and this year was no exception!
Saturday my wonderful husband and a friend threw me a surprise party! It was lots of fun and I was happy to see so many of my friends all at once! We went to HuHut for dinner so I did eat a healthy dinner! I did not say no to a delicious slice of chocolate cake though!

I got to wear a tiarra that said “30″ and tons of random people wished me happy birthday. That was a bit strange, as I typically try to avoid attention from strangers! I am so blessed to have wonderful family and friends and I appreciate their roles in my life! Thanks for making my 30th birthday great!

Weekly Plan ~ Week 4

Here is my Weekly Plan for January 22nd – 28th.  This week is the beginning of a 12 week weight loss challenge that I have joined.  The rules are pretty strict with food and should prove interesting. I am attempting 4 to 6 hours of exercise each week, limited calories with 50% of the calories coming from protein sources and a minimum of 80 oz of water. I am going to give it my all to win this challenge! 12 weeks is completely do-able and I will just have to be more strict on my food than I have been! I am hoping to lose at least 30 pounds and some significant body fat percentage!
