Week Fifteen

I have been working hard for the last couple of weeks. Mostly because of the contest at Curves. It is called a Marathon and you have to log 26.2 miles. You don't have to actually run a marathon, you earn points (or miles) from certain activities. For example a workout at Curves in worth .2 mile. If you go 3 times a week you get a .8 bonus, 4 times a week a 1.2 bonus. Also for walking 30 minutes you earn .2 mile. There are several other things that can earn you points, such as weigh-ins, losing weight/fat, getting a friend to join, etc. So to earn more points I have been working out 4 times a week and trying to walk on most days. In fact, I have to go workout this morning to get my 4 days in this week.

After all that extra exercise you would think my weight loss would be doing well. Ummm, no! For the past week and a half it has been in stall mode. I did start my food journal again on Monday. My weight this morning is 211, so I did lose some from last week. I just thought it would be more with the extra exercise, no less. I was really hoping to be a least in the single digits before I left for DC on Sunday. Close but no cigar. That just means I have to work harder and not screw up while I'm out of town. I have a feeling it won't be easy. Wish me luck.
