Day 318 - Week 45

I lost – 3.4 pounds this week.

Starting Weight : 365.1
Current Weight : 339.2

Total pounds lost: – 25.9 lb.

A new low! So since coming to Hawaii I have lost 15.8 lbs. Vacation is very very good!

I doubled up my workouts today. I tried Zumba for the very first time. The class was packed. Oh my the pace was quick and my feet were slow. I was lost most of the time. I just kept moving baby. As long as I was moving and trying I felt great. Hey my drummer might be slow but my spirit is as light as a feather. Nothing like working out with a large group the energy is contagious. I then went to Aqua Swim. I love being weightless. Don’t let that fool you though. The workout is intense. The water creates such a great resistance and you work every muscle. The joys of this 24 Hour Fitness Club are the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi after a 2 hour workout. I’m going to miss these perks when I go back to Alaska.

Well I feel like I’m back to it again. Boy I was flown for a loop in the last few weeks. You really need to read Day 149′s Post. It explains why this week doesn’t feel like a 5 lbs loss but a 2 lbs loss. (I explain everything a little clearer than in this following sentence). With good choices one week and a very little loss and then a “who cares week” and a gain and then a week of sickness and no excercise but a loss, You can see how I just can’t figure this out. I’ll just have to keep reminding myself that it’s not about the # on the scale but patterns and routines that are being established from day-to-day.

So I will CHEER — A NEW LOW — 22 in 22!

Date	Week	Weight	Change	Total Lost
01/27/10	20	344.8	- 1.0	- 20.3
02/04/10	21	347.9	+ 3.1	- 17.2
02/11/10	22	342.9	- 5.0	- 22.2

Loretta, thank you for your blog post on Monday it helped me to refocus.

Day 149 – Week 21 Weigh In + 3.1 lb.

shellibelly — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 01:55:40 +0000

I gained 3.1 pounds this week.

Starting Weight : 365.1
Current Weight : 347.9

Total pounds lost: – 17.2 lb.

What a maddening couple of weeks. The scale held too much power over me. I allowed it to be the final verdict as to my progress. Arg I hate that. So in Week 20 I was making so many great decisions. I was eating within my 1500 calorie count, excersing, and very determined. But the scale read a 1 pound loss. GOOD GREIF! I knew it was a fluke. I should have weighed in the next day because I knew it was incorrect ie. stress – hormones – sleep, something. But no! I told myself “Well then you might as well eat!” So then Week 21 hits with a massive schedule collision with Jury Duty, Head Cold, chipped tooth, Parent Teacher Conferences, LIFE, Period. Thus the 3 lbs gain. So as if it hadn’t happened I shamefully didn’t officially report the weight gain on the blog, but in order to stay truthful I hid the result on Twitter and the Perfect 10 recap. Oh the games we play.

I am happy to report a loss for Week 22 but the lessons learned in Week 20 & 21 will help to remind me why I’m on this journey. It’s not about the # on the scale it’s about the patterns and routines that will last in this new life.

Date	Week	Weight	Change	Total Lost
01/27/10	20	344.8	- 1.0	- 20.3
02/04/10	21	347.9	+ 3.1	- 17.2
02/11/10	22	342.9	- 5.0	- 22.2

I was so excited about this weigh in. I even had a crazy last chance workout in the pool last night. I chased after every swimmer in front of me. Some even had flippers on. I was so ready to see a great number. Darn! Well its not about the number. So I will hold my head high and keep on keeping on.

I now might be even more excited for next Thursday.

That’s 10 lbs. since the New Year. What a great week! I’ve kept my calorie intake around 1500. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I’ve been swimming for 35 minutes, lifting weights and on the elliptical for 20 minutes. I took a week off from my 7 day Challenges and I really missed it. So I’m starting another one tomorrow.

Being this intentional is so much fun.

These next few weeks will be a little less than routine. In fact there will be no routine. I’m going on vacation which includes a 3 day cruise to Mexico and then I will be visiting family and friends. So you can see the many bumps along the way that I may face. I’ll handle it choice by choice, meal by meal and day by day. Any advice will be appreciated.

Merry Christmas to all!
