What a great weigh in today! Saturday March 4, 2017
I didn't do my measurements, but I did them on Friday March 3, 2017 at home.
Today I weighed in on Richard's scale at 136lbs 4x and then on my scale at 137.8lbs 4x. It was amazing and I was so thrilled and happy! What a great feeling that is!
It really feels that I am actually going to be able to get my goal of 130 lbs at some time this year. I didn't think I would but now I am starting to have faith.
On another note. I pooped Thursday morning 3/2/17 and Friday morning 3/3/17.
And I seem to have more gas. I feel the more veggies I eat I tend to have the gas, tomatoes and onions seem to do it moreso.
I did a great workout at Planet Fitness, Huse Rd today! I was able to do a total of 92 minutes (one hour and 32 minutes). I burned a total of 430 calories on vivosmart. I did the stairclimber for 12:30 minutes today and burned 101 calories on machine and 102 calories burned on vivosmart.
I did level 4 for one minute and then level 10 for 30 seconds for only one or two times and then the rest of the times I did level 11 for 30 seconds and still level 4 for one minute. I am trying to do better.
I did 24:30 minutes on treadmill. The fastest speed I ran/jogged was 5.6 mph at the end/ the last time. I did 5.0 mph, 5.1 mph, 5.2 mph and 5.3 mph as well. And I did anywhere from 20 seconds to 30 seconds.
For the hip abduction machine I did 4 sets of 30 reps 70 pounds. Then I did two sets of 25 reps 80 pounds. That was tough in the end there.
Then, for the hip adduction machine I did 4 sets of 30 reps 70 pounds and it was tough the last two sets. But I did it!
Squats:
I did 50 squats the regular way, feet shoulder length apart.
I had to push to get to 50 squats.
(yesterday Friday March 3, 2017 I worked out at PF in Townsend and I ended up doing squats and then lifting leg to the side I did about 15 maybe of those in the dressing room there and I did regular squats in there as well you know) Then I did stretching in there as well as there was no room to do stretching where I normally do it..
Planks:
I did 5 planks total here are my times:
22.45 seconds
30.31 seconds
30.97 seconds
42.15 seconds
41.52 seconds
I wanted to do five as I usually do five when I have the time. So that is what I wanted to do today. Plus today is the first time since maybe Thursday or Wednesday that I was able to do my full workout meaning everything. When I saw personal trainer/ sarah on Thursday night (3/2/17) she told me that I can do that glutes machine at planet fitness. Not sure PF - Townsend has the Glute/ Glutes machine. I know that PF huse rd in Manchester has it and I hope to use it someday. But I explained the machine to Sarah and she said it would be a good one to do. So maybe next time.
Then, I did butt lifts. I did 2 sets of 20 no weights on my abs this time. And I held butt up at the end of each set for 10 seconds.
Then, I did my stretching. I forgot to do the reverse crunches that I like to do. And I was not able to do Russian twists with medicine ball either. Another time I hope.
But I am so happy and thrilled that I am down to 137.8 lbs. today on my scale.
On Richard's scale I have lose 14 pounds in 8 weeks / 2 months. Which is amazing if you ask me.
That is like 1.75 lbs a week lost on average.
For my scale I have lost a total of 12.2 pounds since being 150 lbs, but then from January 20, 2017 I have lost 9.2 lbs on my scale.
I did tell Sarah that when I get down ten pounds on my scale then I will do my progress pictures and weigh in with her again. I want to wear the same outfit I wore. I had on my black and pink sports bra and the black and pink capri workout pants the one's that stretch at the waist for me. So when I want to do the progress pictures I just have to let her know in advance.
It was nice talking to Sarah about it. I told her that I want to see changes and see progress which is why I want to wait until I am down ten pounds or at least ten pounds. I am thinking that by the 17th I should hopefully be done to 135-136 pounds. You figure if I am at 137.8 pounds technically that means that I only have to lose like .8 pounds before I am at 137 pounds but you know weight fluctuates all the time and during the day as well.
When talking to Sarah about this she told me that she is so excited for my weigh in/ progress photo. She is really excited about it. I have told her before that I am trying to go to planet fitness and do the cardio everyday and that impresses her that I am so dedicated and motivated.
But I look at it this way. One. I am paying for this. It is very costly for me, but worth it. I am 45 years old. I am going through menopause and it is tough to lose belly weight/ fat when you are in menopause and it is even harder to lose weight when you are in your forties. So, I have a few things against me. And I figured if I can do what I can to lose weight then I will do it.
The biggest thing I feel that I have done is change my eating habits. I currently don't eat pizza, cheese, sweets, soda, alcohol, junk food of any kind and no food that has more than 5-6 grams of sugar per serving. It is hard, but it is doable and very worth it for me. I have decided that it is very important to me.
I don't plan on eating pizza, pasta, ice cream, cake, cupcakes, brownies, sweets, candy, soda, alcohol (except one small drink to toast Cassie's 21st when she comes back and I take her out) cheese, and any other junk food for either a long time or at least until I get to my goal weight and can stay there.
I have decided that I don't want to go back to my evil food ways of eating junk food and fast food and soda, pizza, pasta, and anything else that is not good for you. I really want to stick with this. Now that I know that I can do this. I want to keep doing it as much or as long as I can you know. I mean, don't get me wrong I do miss pizza but it is not worth it for me to ruin my diet to have a slice of pizza. I would much rather wait until I am either at my goal weight or something like that. I really want to keep eating good and healthy and making wise food choices.
I am just so proud of myself and the way that I have been losing the weight and such.
Good job Darlene!!!! You Got This!!!
