This has been a tough week for me. I've had to work late and that cut into one of my work out nights. I also haven't been eating like I should. Ugh. I'm fading fast.

Still working out and trying to watch what I eat, except today I ate a hamburger from Mikes. I hadn't had one in a long time. I increased the work outs, but find it harder to watch what I eat b/c my hunger has increased. Luckily I've been working out, no telling how much I'd gain if I didn't.

Really sore today. Didn't do anything physical, but walk around. TRIED to watch what I ate, but it's not easy when the family is eating whatever they want.

I did the boot camp yesterday, muscle failure, so I am sore today. I also walked Town Lake this morning which didn't help the soreness. I haven't been doing as well with the food choices. Ugh.

I tried a boot camp today. I sure thought I was doing good workouts, but I am sore in places I thought I was working out already...guess not. I think this is something I could keep up.

Worked around the house today. No real work out per se, but it was HOT outside, so hoping I shed something. Trying to fight the food cravings.

I've been walking and stepping up the miles. Still need to do more though, so I'm going to try tonight. Walk and a video. Still watching what I eat, so that is good.

Worked from home, luckily I didn't have the food cravings I have been having. Luckily I haven't been eating bad things, just an overload of fruits. Coming down to the wire and the bigger challenge will be to continue watching what I eat and throwing in some exercise.

Walked this morning 4+ miles, but I may have started walking too late in the moring b/c I've had a headache all day. Time to take some meds, so I can sleep and be ready to do this again tomorrow, just earlier.

Worked out at Town Lake 2X this week. Hope I can add another day and continue to work out on the weekends. Slipping a bit in the eating category, but not sure ir that is due to the step up in work outs. I have a co-worker who is working out with me now and that helps keep me motivated. Hope you all are doing well too.

Slacked off a b it today. Time to refocus tomorrow. Here I come Town Lake!

Walked a bit today, not as much as I wanted though. I plan to walk at least 3X this week with a friend, so hopefully that will help.

Walked 4+ miles today. Will try to continue walking for the extra sweat factor.

Not doing so well with eating, but think it's b/c I was off work for 3 extra days. I have to get back on track and fast. I wish I could do more working out outside, but it's sooo hot outside. I have been getting extra sleep though, since someone else has been running my business. I think I deserve some time off though since that job is 7 days a week.

Walked a little today. Watched what I ate though...that is getting easier, which is good because I'm trying to do things that I will continue to do after this competition. I will have to get more aggressive though, since the time is winding down. I KNOW I can do this.

Still watching what I eat. I actually got a good walk in the other day, but other than that, taking a couple days of rest, since apparently my body is telling me so. I'm planning on going bike riding tomorrow, so that will be a good work out. Talk to you all soon.

But barely...not really sure why, possibly hit a slump when I want to be getting more aggressive with this weight loss thing. I also want to make habits I can stick with. I am doing really well with my eating choices, though yesterday I was more hungry than usual and ate 2 protein bars and didn't work out! Ugh! I am really going to try to walk tonight. I didn't last night b/c I actually cooked for the family, ate and then fell out asleep before 8, or a bit after. NOT good! I suppose I deserve a rest day, but feel guilty doing so.

I've been out of town, still focused on my eating, but wasn't able to work out. I did spend my time in the heat, so I'm hoping that helped. Thinking of getting more work out tapes.

I did a work out called, "Turbo Jam," that went super fast for me, but I think if I can do it a few more times I can stay on track. It's a disc I had, but had never done. I think I have a few more of those, so I'm going to pull those out too, so I can change up the work out. Still working on the diet too, so I'm feeling like I'm on track, just haven't gotten to the point of wanting to step it up yet. I better get on it because the time will be up before we know it.

Still working out daily & watching what I eat. Feeling good. Clothes are feeling better. I did 2 workouts today. I haven't been able to put on my make up before work b/c my face is still so hot. It cools off while I'm on the way to work with the A/C blowing in my face. I would still like to use a better scale b/c I'm not sure mine is accurate. I'm going to try to walk in the AM after my regular work out to really get a good work out in. Talk to you all later.

Walked this morning and I am feeling goooood! I knew I had to do it just once to get me motivated to add this element to my work outs. I'll do a workout video when I get home and continue to eat good foods. My son continues to keep me motivated. I am still walking up/down the garage stairs, to/from my veh.

Checking in. Still working out daily and watching what I eat. Drinking more H2O too. I'm feeling a difference in my clothes too. I want to get more aggressive with this and week 6 seems just like the time to do it. I can't believe 2 weeks has gone by already. Time to really start getting serious.

I did another Billy Blanks Boot Camp work out and it didn't seem as difficult this time around, so on to disc #2. Started walking up/down the stairs in the garage to get an extra work out too. Getting sore, but it's a good kind of soreness.

Hello all....
I'm still working on this weight issue of mine, but haven't been able to get more aggressive. So, that is my goal...to become more aggressive with this. I KNOW I can do it that is what is so frustrating. I'm still doing good with eating though, so I am staying on track there. I hope everyone else is working hard at this too. There is nothing like good ole competition.

Getting to feeling better. I did some exercises this morning and still eating good. I am getting cravings, so I guess that means whatever I had will be gone soon. My son is still encouraging me and keeping me motivated. I am going to try to stay awake to do a 2 mile walk around the neighborhood. It is just so hot when I get home, I end up waiting for it to cool off then end up not doing anything. If anything I will work on the yard. Hope everyone is staying focused.

I haven't been feeling good the past few days. I'm hoping being on a regular schedule during the week will help keep me consistent. I have still been watching what I eat and I hope to feel better tomorrow, so I can work out. Hope everyone else are still doing good.
Later.

Good Afternoon All:

I weighed in this morning. Feeling good ya'll. Just watching what I'm eating and working out in the mornings. I need to step it up in the evenings though, but it is soooo damn HOT. I'm afraid I'll pass out! I try to wait till it gets cooler, but by that time I'm ready for bed or into something else. I have to make myself at least do a high intensity work out, but I'm really wanting to walk, so I can lose more weight. I'll weigh in again on Sunday, most likely. I'm going to see if I can use someone else's scale, b/c mine is a cheapy one and I don't know if it is taking an accurate reading.
Have a good day.

Today I actually worked out again. This time my 15 yo son joined me and says he wants to work out with me every morning. We shall see if he actually does. Unfortunately I fell asleep early yesterday (I was waiting for it to cool down), so I didn't include a 2 mile walk I had planned. Tonight I will try the walk and include another 30 minute work out. I also have to clean the garage so I can move my work out bench to a place I can manuever around. I had to turn down a Mike's hamburger too for lunch. The eating thing is going to be the hardest thing for me, cause we eat out here for lunch all the time. I know it will also help me save some $$$. Still trecking along.

Good day all. I'm really hoping this will help me start a life long committment to being a healthy weight. This morning I actually did a work out from a fitness show I've been recording for some time now (it was recording #37 of the same show). I think I've bought just about every weight loss tape and am embarrassed to say I haven't tried most of them. I hope this challenge will help me add fitnesss/exercise to my daily routine. You know, it's not that I don't know what to do, I just have to do it. I have lost weight before, I just don't stick with it and end up eating whatever I want without including exercise. I am prior military, so I know I have the will power, I just need to get committed. Good luck everyone!
