Weight - 130.2 (-4 overall)
A little better of a loss, but I did get another day of working out in. I am trying to do Yoga and walking/running on the track on Tuesdays, Zumba and working out with Tom on Thursdays. I am also setup to workout with my old trainer every other Wednesday with a group of people from A-O. On the odd weeks, I have Bible Study, so I need to find a way to get a workout in on a different day. So far Friday nights involve shopping, Saturdays involve cooking meals and items for the week as well as making salads for Sat-Mon, Sundays are my day of rest, Mondays I prepare all salads and snacks for the weekdays.
This week, Tom had us run a timed mile. I ran it in 9 mins 28 seconds. I was pretty excited it was that quick! I hadn't ran since before Thanksgiving. We then had to do as many modified push-ups in the CORRECT form (Not as easy done correctly as you would think). I did 30. Not too bad I guess. The biggest problem was that I did Tom's Go To Workout the night before and my arms were really barking. Not to mention I did a 1/2 hour of Zumba and ran a mile before this. THEN we had to do the Plank in the CORRECT form for as long as we possibly could. My arms were just a shaking after just 20 seconds. I know that I can easily do a minute on a good day, but this just wasn't going to be easy today. I got to 1 minute 15 seconds and had to drop. Not too bad! I am pretty happy with my progress! (The super news is that I got into my "skinny" jeans this week. They were WAY too tight previously. That makes me happy. May only be 4 lbs, but I can see results! I don't know when I will do measurements again. I like to think every 4 weeks, but knowing me, I will forget!
Detox...detox is going well. Not too difficult...last night I was feeling bitter about it. I just want pasta or pizza or peanut butter!!! All the healthy varieties of course! I just have 6 days to go counting today. Yeah...detox on Superbowl Sunday!!! YUCK! I can do it though.
Oh, other big news. One of my team members, Jason asked if I would be interested in making meals for him. He would of course pay me. He wants Lunch, Snacks, and Dinner 7 days a week. I am going to try it, but may say that I will just do weekdays. 7 days will be tough to get done with everything else! We'll see how it goes. I just have to be able to say it isn't working for me if it starts to become too much.
As I finish this, I am going to get dressed and head to the gym. Then home to cook. I have whole roasted chicken, venison bok choy and spanish rice on the agenda for today!

Heather's Journey - Week 2 (01/22/2009)
Weight: 132.6 (-1.6)
Not a great loss, but this time around I am doing the food myself. That means I am doing LOTS of planning, shopping, and preparing! It actually took a lot of time and energy so my activity wasn't the greatest as I was pretty worn out from all that this takes. I am hoping that I get into a routine and it gets easier! Oh, and I quit coffee...that may have something to do with my energy levels!
Tom gave us a handout of what he calls his "Go To Workout". He then took us to do this workout. It hits pretty much every major muscle, but really works the arms. I turned in my food log and he said it was great! Having already done this really helps.
Detox starts this week! Only items out of the center two circles...OH BOY!

Heather's Journey - Kick Off meeting (01/15/2009)
Weight - 134.2
Measurements:
Tricep - 10.5

At this session we spent the entire time talking about nutrition. Found out that we would be reading the Chris Johnson book and doing outlines. We would also be doing a two week detox starting the next meeting. This means we will only be able to eat things out of the center two circles!

Starting my journey - catching you up
I started the weight loss challenge again! I am pretty excited about this since I spent the summer wrecking myself inside and out. I am mending the inside and have started the work on the outside. I am going to blog this journey of mine so I can look back and see my improvements so that maybe it can keep me motivated and responsible to report in to you.
Stay tuned for a few more blogs as I update the last few weeks and then continue week to week. Maybe day to day! :0)
