C4 – Week 12, Day 84 of 84

Weight 127!!!

I gained 2 pounds this week.  I’ve actually increased my workouts this week and even made up a cardio session.  BUT, I realize that I have gotten out of the habit of counting my points.  The last time I used my online point tracker was NOVEMBER 18!! That was the week before the wedding and I let busy-ness get in the way.  Ever since, I’ve been lazy…that’s the only way to describe it.  And it’s shown on the scale.

I’m NOT happy about it, but it’s no one’s fault but my own.

Honestly, I don’t anticipate really getting strict these last two weeks of the year, so I’ll try moderation until the first of the year…then I’ll get back to counting my points and doing what I know to do.

I started the 4th challenge of 2009 at 125.5 and finished at 127. So, while I’m not too happy with that, I am still within a couple pounds of my target weight and I am in control of the situation.  There’s a lot of peace in knowing that I can make some changes and fix it.  So, this challenge is over… and I will start C1 2010 at the first of the year.

I’m planning to enjoy my family all being together this next week.  I hope y’all enjoy your holidays!

C4 – Week 11, Day 77 of 84

Weight 125

Up a half a pound.  Really not in a motivated state these days.  One week to go in this challenge and I’m not in a routine.

On to Week 12…

C4 – Week 10, Day 70 of 84

Weight 124.5

Back up a pound this week… but I took a break from the gym this week and today my “monthly” came to call.  So, not all that bad considering.

I’m determined to get back in the gym this week.  Missing the weights…cardio? not so much.

Only 2 weeks left in this challenge.

On to week 11…

C4 – Week 9, Day 63 of 84

Weight – 123.5

I was down a pound this week.  Pretty happy with that since it was Thanksgiving week AND we had the wedding as well.  BUSY, BUSY week, so I didn’t get any “gym” workouts in, but we did lots of manual stuff decorating and setting up and breaking down the wedding.

On to week 10…

C4 – Week 8, Day 56 of 84

Weight 124.5

I’ve been better disciplined this week and ended up down a pound for the week.  Works for me.

This week is going to be crazy…with the wedding, Thanksgiving and work. I’m not sure how I’ll get all my workouts in, but we’ll see how it goes.  I’ll have to concentrate on eating healthy to compensate.

On to week 9 (only 4 weeks left in this challenge)…

In the meantime… if any of you (all 4 of you) have any health/fitness questions… ask away…

C4 – Week 7, Day 49 of 84

Weight 125.5

Ok people, my head has NOT been in the game for the last 3 weeks or so.  I need to regroup and get back to business.  I’ve had lots going on…but so does everyone else.  Excuses do nothing but stall progress and impede success.  I need to quit hitting the candy corn… just saying.  I also need to get back to a more regular workout schedule.  Jodi’s new schedule has caused us to rework things and it just hasn’t been working out very well.  This week, I plan to do more cardio than I have been doing.  I love to lift, so I usually don’t have to talk myself into it, but cardio is NOT my favorite, so I find it easy to let it slide. My eating overall isn’t bad, but I have been eating some sweets that I normally wouldn’t eat.

So, this week, I need to get my head back in the game.  Fit in my cardio and weight workouts and focus on my health…and fitness.

On to week 8 …

C4 – Week 6, Day 42 of 84

Weight 124.0

I’m somewhat surprised that I’ve stayed within a half pound of last week since my eating has been somewhat off.  Some great days and some not so great days.  My workouts are going great…even though I’ve had to do many/most of them without Jodi.  Working on getting my head a little more in the game, but I am so distracted these days.  I’m thankful for journaling… helps to keep me on task.

On to week 7…
