Day 8 - July 20, 2009

This is my 8th day of my 21-Day Makeover. Since Mondays are so very busy at our office, we have decided to work out this afternoon, after work. I feel that as long as I work out, morning or afternoon, I’m getting the needed exercises. Sometimes working out in the afternoon works better - less stressful. When I work out in the morning, I feel rushed toward the end of my workout, like I have to get finished to get ready for the work day and I really like to be able to complete my workout with less stress (maybe I should get up a little earlier…not!)

My weight for the beginning of the 2nd week was 160. That was a little more than 2 pounds for the 1st week weight loss. You know, I wished it had of been more, but I didn’t gain the weight all at once, so I shouldn’t expect to lose the weight all at once. I kind of like the idea of losing a little at a time, I can truly feel it in my clothes, but that way, I know it is coming off and will stay off!

2+ pounds per week, to get to my goal of 140, will take less than 3 months. I can handle that!!!

Day Five - July 17, 2009

This is day 5 of my 21-Day Makeover and I haven’t been as consistent of putting my progress on the site as I should.

We worked out this evening instead of this morning and I feel GREAT! 45 reverse ab crunches, tricep pull downs (for the ole ‘bye-byes’), shoulder press, french press, leg presses for the calf and thighs and ab crunches on the BowFlex - 4 sets of 25 - 100 ab crunches at 35 lbs!!! Oh My Goodness!!!
