Stupid counter on left was not working so i removed it..
I did a marathon on Sunday..2 hrs of outside jogging(with weights) and biking up 6 hills..I did the bike route 3 X in a row and man I felt it!
The jogging with weights came after and WOW it was brutal..
Yesterday in 27 K winds i did the route(bike) 2X it was awful and I'll never do it again. I was blown sideways into oncoming traffic(thankfull car stopped and saw me)
Anyways I am down 12 pounds now!
The muscle gained played tricks with the scale, i have been 1 away from half way(10 pounds) for a few days now because of muscle gained..
But the marathon and eating only fruits and so on eventually brought the weight down to below 10,I am now at 12 pounds lost!!!
I am thrilled and i only have 8 more to go to meet my 1st goal of 20 lost by end of this month!
WOW I am really doing this lol!
Thanks all for your support I could not have done this alone..
Yeah yeah i know more then 2 lbs a week,is not healthy but I am doing this all by strenuous and frequent excercise,and seriously eating nothing, but healthy fruits veggies and snacking on many small meals(fruits and veggies) and no full meals..
SO there ya have it thank you to all of you I could not do this without you!
I am installing a counter on the left to mark my progress and of course will be here too ;-)
Ok so after trying(and failing) many many diets...I have decided that since motivation (and accountability) are strengths with me(if i have someone counting on or holding me to my word i will do it)
I decided to make a bet with my daughters(my oldest 2)
I have asked friends and family before to hold me accountable to my excercising and dieting but no one ever does..SO I have a new plan.
I bet my girls I would lose 20 lbs by the 30 of this month...OR I would have to give them $40..(20 each)
They agreed(duh lol!) and we are ON..I have jogged already this morning and walked with 2 heavy grocery bags,for 3 miles,and am drinking water(i detest water) and eating cottage cheese and we are ON..
Anyone wanna encourage me? Please do so! i NEED it! LOL!
