Cycle Day 11, Buffing, Weight 128.5
Down another pound this week. That’s a total of 14 pounds since coming back from vacation (June 7).
Our workouts are back to circuits (buffing) and compound sets (boosting)… and as much tennis as we can fit in. Lovin’ the tennis.
Four more weeks to this challenge. On to week 9…
Cycle Day 4, Boosting, Weight 129.5
HELLO, 120s!
Haven’t seen those numbers in a long time. I was pleasantly surprised to stay down even a 1/2 pound this week since it’s cycle day 4.
Our workouts are hard, we’re playing lots of tennis (when the weather’s good), and my eating is easily staying on track.
My new goal weight is 125. Then, I’ll consider maintenance.
On to week 8…
GOAL!
Cycle Day 23, Boosting, Weight 130.0
Half-way through this challenge and I’ve reached my goal weight of 130. One day this week I actually saw 129 on the scale, but my final weigh-in was 130… so there we go. I lost 2 pounds this week after 3 weeks of just a 1/2 pound total loss. I will finish this week with some allowance points remaining. My next goal weight will be 125.
We’re still playing tennis as much as we can and we have lessons once a week… only 2 left though. That’s been a blast.
On to week 7…
Cycle Day 16, Buffing, Weight 132.0
Because I’m BUMMED about the scale not budging again this week, I decided to take my measurements. I will say that I ate completely within my target points each day and I’m finishing the week with extra allowance points left over. I haven’t changed anything at all in the past 3 weeks… two of those weeks were high hormone weeks, so I REALLY expected a change on the scale this week, but even though I was down a 1/2 pound at one point this week, I finished even. This is where most people get frustrated and decide to give up or loosen up on their eating because of the frustration. SO, I’ll stay on task again this week and if I don’t see any changes, I’ll have to ask myself if there’s anything I’m doing different or should do different. Although, I am VERY proud that I have been very disciplined the ENTIRE nine weeks I’ve been counting WW points.
I looked back at Cycle Day 16 last month and my weight was 135.5, so I’m down 3.5 pounds since then. Gotta feel good about that. My low point last month was around CD 23. Usually my high point is early in my cycle and my low point is late in my cycle. (It’s amazing how much hormones play a part!)
As for measurements, I haven’t measured since I started this challenge, so here are my results so far for this 12-week challenge.
Starting weight – 136, Goal weight for the challenge – 130
Today’s weight – 132 (total loss of 4 pounds)
That makes me feel a little better. And the fact that I wore some dress pants today that I LOVE that I haven’t been able to wear in a few years.
I’ll keep doing what I know to do is right. Slow and steady.
On to week 6…
Cycle Day 9, Buffing, Weight 132.0
The scale BARELY moved again all week, but last week I set in my mind to not get concerned and to keep making healthy decisions while I’m at my peak hormone week(s). I was pleased to see the scale JUST dipped down this morning, so I finished this week losing a half a pound. I’m expecting better this week again.
I’m only 2 pounds away from my goal for this challenge and I’ve been happy to get in clothes I haven’t been able to wear in a couple of years again which is always a motivator.
Our weight workouts will be circuits this week and we’ll play as much tennis as possible and hit the treadmill when the weather permits furthering our tennis careers (ha!).
On to week 5…
